Reclaiming Language.

hi diy world.

i was so excited to list my "kits" yesterday. then, someone on ArtFire flagged the item as "offensive." while to ArtFire folks were pretty cool about it, i think that this brings up a larger issue.

when i surf these sites : etsy, 1000 markets, etsy, etc. i constantly find items that i find incredible offensive. these include "just like mommy" onesies that depict a woman rolling dough and wearing an apron. or the lovely "just like daddy" tie bibs that seem to be all the rage. essentialist gender rolls with infants pisses me off. people who make baby feet earrings with the title "pro-life" and a bible verse in the description piss me off. i wonder what would happen if i flagged these items as "offensive." i will do it and let you know.

my bet is that those folks are just "expressing their beliefs" which, because they are considered legitimate by mainstream U.S. culture, they will not be removed.

to be continued....

Also, check out some external pics of the tree house and one of the dining room. Someone told me that the dining room looks like a retro hookah bar- dig it.

Eve Ensler Drills Sarah Palin.

Keeping it Presidential.

In a last ditch effort to win "the women's vote" (to which i lovingly reply 'which women?') John McCain chose Sarah Palin, his teammate in advocating for abstinence only until marriage sex education...

among other anti-choice policies. Now we see, via Gov. Palin's pregnant teen daughter the ways in which those politics are not practical or empowering.

The sad part is that McCain and Palin's politics are getting in the way of this young woman's right to privacy and her own decision making. It strips this young person with a choice- to continue the pregnancy or not.

Either way, it creates yet another shoe-in for Obama/Biden which I love.


I do not love McCain, who clearly thinks that women are stupid in his clear hope that "the women" (aka Hillary supporters) would vote for his ass just because he chose a running mate with a vagina.

Choosing Palin is almost MORE of a body blow to women than choosing another wrinkly white guy to lead the way.

I can't.


School starts in 2 days. Uh oh.
