Homeless veterans rally
Got news from the folks at Forgotten Voice that there’s going to be a rally for homeless vets tomorrow (Wednesday) at 7 p.m. at the American Legion Post #8 (733 Veterans Memorial Drive). — Emmily
There’s a caucus among us
The caucus is coming! The caucus is coming! It’s the most unsexy, exciting political time of the election season and Nevada has it’s very own slice of the pie on Jan. 19. Even if it is sort of a sliver. I have to admit that I’m, eh, slightly not that excited about the caucus/primary-fest happening…
Jeers for tears
Well, it was bound to happen eventually. Hillary Clinton does something that makes her a target for thinly veiled gender slander. (I mean aside from having breasts and a vagina.) Now Clinton is caught tearing up on the campaign trail and John Edwards is the guy who pounces first. (sigh) I am so weary of…
Adventures in housesitting
My high school friend Monika Thomas, of Sexploration with Monika fame, got a sweet write-up in the San Francisco Gate. Ironically, it wasn’t the sex that got the writer going. It was Monika’s gig as a professional housesitter. Classic! — Emmily

Tell Gibbons to stop it
Nevada NOW, PLAN and the Human Services Network are urging folks to contact Gov. Gibbons to tell him not to go forward with planned budget cuts.

Plan B survey

Looky what we did
Hey kids! Just wanted to point out that there’s a couple of new tabs — Eco Stuff and Simple Gifts — at the top of the blog. These are basically slightly updated mash-ups of some popular Siren posts. Simple Gifts is a more year-round version of A Holiday Shopping List with a Purpose. And Eco…
We’re off and rambling in ’08
While not technically the first post of the New Year, this will certainly be my first post with any discernable feminist outrage. (Admit it, you missed me!) Here I go, in no particular order: Damned if this article in the January Elle (forgive me, it was an impulse buy in the Seattle airport) doesn’t make…
