Sooo I know I haven’t been posting much, but it’s only because I’ve been busy working on this awesome multimedia project for the midterm elections (I posted on it here). And we are in dire need of a social media intern as soon as humanly possible! This is a great opportunity to work at WNYC, [...]

I’m really excited for my 15 minutes of fame tomorrow at the 25th annual Bughouse Square Soapbox Debates in Chicago. It’s a cool idea:  a bunch of Chicago writers, thinkers, activists and authors come together for a competition and state their case in just a few minutes. It’s meant to commemorate Bughouse Square’s legacy from [...]

…but other things have been kicking my ass. So here are some young feministy links to tide you over until next week: Girldrive lady Tecla just came out with a new album! It’s free, but not for long, so don’t sleep. More on that soon. Amanda Hess of The Sexist writes a chilling investigative piece [...]

I’m sorry, I know this is slightly off-topic for Girldrive, given that I try to spotlight young women doing gutsy, feministy things. But seriously, John Mayer is an asshead. Read this New York Mag interview–I dare you to beg to differ. If this were me and I got talked to like this as a professional [...]

Just in time for Jaclyn Friedman’s piece on online misogynist assholes (fab article, BTdubs, albeit disconcerting), I’ll be guest-blogging at Feministe for the next two weeks. I’ll be cross-posting occasionally from Girldrive, but generally the posts over there will be a little more opinionated and Nona-ish than what usually graces Girldrive’s pages. Enjoy!
