| Canker Sore Sunday Linkfest! |
[Jul. 12th, 2009|10:45 am] |
Not much to link to this week - I've been avoiding the internetz at large and I have a canker sore. I think I got it because it was really cold one night and I bit on my tongue while chattering my teeth.
So! On to the Linkfest:
I mentioned earlier this week the Vancouver Women's Health Collective opening a women-only pharmacy which excludes transwomen. For good measure, I shall re-link to a critique of it by Queen Emily, of Questioning Transphobia, currently guest-blogging at Feministe, in case you missed it. ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) gudbuytjane writes more on this.
amandaw points out how easily journalism makes a press release about rapists put the blame on the victims.
Fuck Politeness disses people who diss Harry Potter. I don't like HP myself, but my goodness, some people take their dislikes to the severe extremities.
"No" is not a mixed signal! The mind boggles at why we have to keep saying this.
kiwi_grrl asks the question: why isn't the media paying anymore attention to Iran? Also, to people who think the hijab is oppressive, do the women in the pictures look oppressed to you?
Here are 66 panels from old DC comics which illustrate reasons why chicks cry.
At Racialicious, I was piqued by the discussion that Sandip Roy's essay on cultural artifacts created, and divabat has an essay up on being a PoC in the burlesque scene, which is not so very different from being a PoC on the steampunk scene, except with more drama.
Now that my linkfest is done, I shall return to tending my canker sore. |

Hey Everyone,
I know I have been quiet lately, but I have been sick and very busy, all at once. It's been a very full on kind of month, and I am still pulling my life back together.
Despite this, this post is an open invite! Chesh and I are celebrating our 10 years of wedded bliss, and wish to re-dedicate ourselves to each other, and our new family, on Sunday. This invite is just for the ceremony, I'm very sorry but our little house is going to be incredibly full.
So, Cheshire and Calli's Renewal:
2pm Minnawarra Park Gazebo
Sunday the 19th of July (Next Sunday, a week from today! OMG!)
Every one is welcome, we would love to have you there. We were very limited by the size of our house, which is why this is not an open invite for the reception part of the day! Please hope that it doesn't rain for us, or OMG are we all going to be CLOSE. PERSONAL. FRIENDS. |

I fucked up. People got hurt. One of them felt strongly enough to use a cis privileged pulpit to attack me, and not without cause.
"I'm sorry" does not even begin to cut it. So, how can I and everybody involved participate in an accountability process without leaving even more injured bodies on the deck?
I kept it short so the concerns people brought to the table could be centered, as best I can, and not in a spirit of evasiveness. If anybody needs archival posts to look over, I'll provide them as best I can.
Shall we begin?
