Up next in the back-to-school series (miss part 1?): So you’re a feminist. How do you work that in the real world? The folks over at abortiongang have a very nice little primer for how to make your feminism more palatable to others. They have some good tips but, with respect, I think it can…
It’s fall — or at least that’s what my non-desert-dwelling friends tell me — and that means it’s back-to-school season.

Now that I am only 25 days away from my due date (holy crap!), my husband and I have been receiving many wonderful gifts for our little gestating fetus, whom we’ve nicknamed “Little B.” (Which stands for The Littlest Bristol) So many cute onesies and goodies! Indeed, Little B has been blessed with an over-abundance…

Passing this along, too. Lotta cool events this spring in Sin City!

As I mentioned in the last post, I’ve been very busy with a water-damage-related homeowner problem. But since it ’tis the season, I thought I’d revisit a classic Siren post on Valentine’s Day and fair trade. (And please send me positive home-repair thoughts.) Fair Trade Valentines January 16, 2008 Taking a break from caucus fever and…
Okay, okay. Are you getting sick of the pregnancy-related posts, yet? (Hopefully not.) Well, make room for one more. I had no idea there was so much about pregnancy and being pregnant in America that would spark my feminist thought-machine! A very popular question I get these days is, “So, is it a boy or…
