Here is a story of an Athens, Greece woman who defended herself by burning a London rapist’s penis:

This is awesome! I remember you doing it last year and I really enjoyed reading your posts for the day and am so glad that you’re doing it again. I’ll definitely stop by and leave some comments for you! I’m usually up during the night (backward schedule and all) so I should definitely be around for those middle-of-the-night hours.

A friend of mine gave me the link to Blogathon a week or so ago and I of course bookmarked it under things to check out and then never did… because I suck like that. I was really interested in doing it, but now feel like there isn’t enough time to pull it off successfully. Either way, I’m really glad that you’re doing it again. Good luck with everything and I’ll do what I can to help spread the word for you; I love SAFER’s blog and the work that they do, so this is amazing.

[...] This is so lovely. One of our favorite bloggers—Cara, who both runs The Curvature and posts at Feministe—is participating in this year’s Blogathon on SAFER’s behalf. Blogathon participants agree to blog every 30 minutes for 24 hours (this year on July 25th) and—just like a charity walkathon—they collect sponsorships for this blogging marathon. The pledges Cara receives this year will go to SAFER. Please go check out why Cara has chosen SAFER and sponsor her if you can—even a small amount really helps. Thanks so much to Cara for choosing us. [...]

Aw, thanks Sarah :) I was going to email you folks, too . . . I was thinking that it’d probably be cool if someone put a post up over at the SAFER blog! I’m sure that some of your readers who don’t regularly read me would love to chip in :)

Wow. Cara, this is completely amazing and generous of you. I’ve been reading your blog since long before I became a part of SAFER and this really just makes me feel all sorts of warm and fuzzy inside. I’m actually headed to a Board meeting in 20 minutes and I can’t wait to tell everyone how fabulous you are (as if we all didn’t know already!). Seriously, a million thanks for all your support. I hope one day I get to say thank you in person. –Sarah

I THINK YOU SHOULD TOTALLY DO IT . . . TO KEEP ME COMPANY!!! Hehe :)

Um, it’s really tough. I didn’t make it all the way through last year . . . gave up at like 4:30am, I think. It’s my goal to make it all 24 hours this year, but we’ll see. I do recommend figuring out a bunch of stuff to write in advance, and inevitably you’ll fall behind and have a few “so this is tough! where does all the time go! I’m eating some pizza!” posts. But it’s a really great feeling to help raise money for a charity you love! I also imagine that it’s more fun if people you know are doing it, rather than doing it all on your lonesome like I was last year.

How exciting! I had no idea this existed until you tweet last week (or whenever that was). This seems fun though! Should I do it? I kind of want to but I’m also unbelievably worried that I’ll run out of things to say after 5 posts. On the other hand, I have dozens of ideas for posts that I’ve never written… Hmmm, what to do…

I’m particularly excited about the Beatles posts, but I’m sure you figured that out already. =)
