Thanks Nikki for the heads up :-)
Hey Julie!
My computer's been very unco-operative recently, and I've been very busy whenever the weather's been good with some new part-time employment.
So basically, I haven't had time for feminist/gender equality theory writing recently. I'm also considering whether I'll give Still Truckin' a small break up to the election and join the G.Blog team- it's a hard choice- on the one hand, raising awareness about the things I care about directly is pretty cool. On the other, the Greens are generally a very feminist lot in the first place, and raising awareness for them might also protect a bunch of other human rights and social services stuff. Decisions decisions! I know for sure I won't be able to dedicate enough time to both.
I'll continue to enjoy your writing wherever it appears, Ari!
I'd like to throw some love to this Jezebel comeback to a lame Newsweek article that pedals the same bullshit as ALAC.
Thanks Anna :)
