Today's little pile of awesome.

* Poem about My Rights by June Jordan.  Once I got past the formatting (I am restricted in my brain by preferring rhyme schemes and such), I found I adored the poem.

* If you read nothing else today, read about what happens when we switch from active to passive voice.  From comments, tigtog says:

If it makes no sense to make objections that reports that "a man robbed a bank" are accusations that all men are potential robbers, then it simply doesn't logically make sense to make an objection that "a man attacked a woman" is an accusation against all men: it's such a simple and irrefutable example of the double standard.

* "It's not the empty street that causes rape."  Goddamn, today is awesome for linkage.

"Right now" is the new right-now phrase right now.

So despite being in the middle of a lovely dose of depression, I found myself in a cheery mood today - likely due to it being in the 70s today (and right now!).

Naturally, the only thing to do is to go read abortion stories.

Xtina: Oh, I am a NEVER-ENDING SOURCE of brightness and light, yall.
Rose: you certainly know how to celebrate feeling cheery

It's full of blogs!

Curse Feministe anyways, for having their shameless pimp days.  I end up with a million million tabs open, and no time to assimilate it all.

Instead, I'll just repost I'm Not Sorry, and go back to reading.
