This is probably insane but I’ve started a new blog called The Tired Feminist. Don’t worry! There will still be plenty of action here at SCS but I have realized that I want to diversify a little. I want to write about my experience as a stay-at-home feminist. Sometimes that fits here at SCS and…

Tomorrow is Election Day! Hurray! If you did not already turn out by early voting or mailing in an absentee ballot — then get the heck out and vote! (You can find your polling place here.) Not to repeat myself too much…but I feel it’s just that important. Here are some of the…
Dear Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and all of your Talented Staff, Writers and Crew: Thank you for the Rally to Restore Sanity (PS: I think the folks that are talking about ableism, in regards to the rally’s name, are taking their point a bit far). Because I’m a new mom to a 5-month-0ld, I was…
