Q: Do you feel that “Chicana Punk” or punk with feminist attributes is a completely different punk scene?
Alice: No way, I refuse to be a faction. I want in on the big action. Punk without pussy power, punk without ethnic diversity just supports the status quo, it doesn’t subvert or challenge it, therefore it can’t even be called punk.

– Latoya Peterson, in one of the most clear, precise pieces I’ve ever read on rape culture. Read it, in its entirety.

Every Year, JSTOR Turns Away 150 Million Attempts... →
The way I see it, that’s 150 million chances lost to improve the quality of the Internet. JSTOR, as the keeper of so much great scholarly work, should be one of the Internet’s dominant suppliers of facts and serious research. But if something is not publicly available, key gatekeepers like journalists and Wikipedians, move to the best available source, even if they know that there probably is a...

Are you on my wavelength? →
You know how when you feel like you really connect with someone, you say you are on the same wavelength? When brain cells want to connect with each other, they synchronize their activity,” Colgin explains. “The cells literally tune into each other’s wavelength. We investigated how gamma waves in particular were involved in communication across cell groups in the hippocampus. What we found could...

Rep. Barney Frank is a total BAMF
cognitivedissonance:
His latest interview with The New York Times is fantastic. An excerpt:
Interviewer: You’ve long argued for the decriminalization of marijuana. Do you smoke weed?
Barney Frank: No.
Interviewer: Why not?
Barney Frank: Why do you ask a question, then act surprised when I give an answer? Do you think I lie to people?
Interviewer: I thought you might explain why you support...

Quinn and I in the new apartment
Me: So here's a new thing we're gonna do, it's called a chore chart.
Quinn: Okay.
Me: Every day, we write down what we need to do and then if we do it we give ourselves a check. Some of the chores are just for Mommy, like doing the dishes and the laundry, so we have to think of some Quinn chores. Is there anything in particular you wanna do for the chart?
Quinn: KUNG FU!
