Couple more for the Round-up

Babies having babies is a bad thing Part 2 from Daisy at Daisy's Dead Air

And Jill at Feministe has a piece about the wonders of the Republican party finally discovering sexism.

I'm going to be comparing D&R speeches here pretty soon... I just have to get the intestinal fortitude to watch the Palin speech. But I will say one thing: having a uterus and a career does not make a person a feminist. Believing in women's rights makes a person a feminist; actively working against women's rights and general equality does not make a person a feminist, even if she has a job and working uterus.

There is a lot that goes into this blog, most of it is me. You may read some things that challenge you or your assumptions about the way the world is or should be. Feel free to peek thru, but bear in mind that what you're reading is basically the inside of my head.

In the last year, I've dealt with an eating disorder (and other health issues in my own body), the illness and death of my father (from pancreatic cancer), happiness and excitement at forming new relationships and building existing ones, and the death of my daughter (Timelord). So much has happened, but all I can do is live my best life and that's what I'm going to do, even while I grieve.

The persons you read about in this blog are real. They have lives and feelings, and I want to respect their privacy as much as possible. And while it is entirely possible that you know who I'm talking about, everybody has a codename. It's a thing.

One last thing, all this stuff is for my own personal edification. I do hope you enjoy it and find wisdom here, but I also don't care if you don't like it. :D
