Off to join the women and men* convening for the Feminism2.0 conference at GW. If you’re interested in feminism and Internet-based advocacy, you can follow the twitter stream at tweetchat (room: #fem2).

For reasons I cannot even begin to explain, instead of a link to the Bat’s page above I inadvertanly linked to a picture of Donald Rumsfeld. There was no reason for this. It was a strange error and it has been fixed.

Yeah, those fuckers can bite my platinum roots. And my grandmothers’ on both sides. Then I’ll slay their asses at the intellectual contest of their choosing. Grr.
Happily some of the articles covering the original report link to the (current, no results yet) study directly, so I get to be a respondent. Woot!

I have to fix my template so that clicking a link in the comments doesn’t open the link in the little bitty comments window. Oh KD…you out there?
