Help SAFER Win $10,000

by Cara September 3, 2009

During the 24-hour Blogathon just over a month ago, I think that I made my deep respect and support for Students Active For Ending Rape (SAFER) quite clear. And so I just wanted to give them a shout out now — they have a chance at winning $10,000 for the organization, and just two or [...]

REMINDER: Send in Those Blogathon Donations to SAFER

by Cara August 6, 2009

Everyone who pledged to donate to SAFER as a part of my Blogathon efforts should have received an email from the Blogathon organizers reminding them to fulfill their pledge. But I know that emails have a way of sitting in my inbox for awhile, and that I often need an extra reminder to get things [...]

50 Books for Problematic Times

by Cara August 3, 2009

About a month ago, Newsweek released a list of “50 Books For Our Times” — 50 books that open a window to the modern world in which we live. RMJ at Deeply Problematic reviewed this list, and noticed that, apparently, the modern world is remarkably white, male and straight. The writers on this list were, [...]

The Night Before

by Cara July 26, 2009

So I didn’t disappear after 5am EST without notice because I’m an irresponsible person, or because I’m a person who who fell asleep at her desk.  Rather, I disappeared after 5am last night because I’m a person who uses Time Warner’s Road Runner internet service, which in the world’s cruelest irony went out in my [...]

The 2009 Blogathon has begun.  Head on over to have a read (and leave a comment!) Remember, I’m not just doing this for fun (though I’m going to try to have as much as possible), but to raise money for SAFER.  My pledges are currently up to $383.42 — and pledges can still be made [...]

Blogathon Updates

by Cara July 22, 2009

So, you may have noticed that the blog has been a bit dead, lately. That’s because I’m busy preparing for the Blogathon, which I recently wrote about. I also started a new training course this week that I’m really excited about. Oh, and last week my husband became a U.S. citizen, and my cat was [...]

Who Was Dr. George Tiller?

by Cara June 5, 2009

I have a post (my first!) up at Global Comment. It’s about Dr. George Tiller . . . a subject I’ve been silent on here since his death (though I did write a bit at Feministe).  A taste: Any doctor who chooses to provide abortions in America, where there is a pervasive and largely accepted [...]

Blogging Against Disablism Day: On Depression

by Cara May 1, 2009

Note: I was really hesitant to write this on Blogging Against Disablism Day, but it is a subject that has been on my mind a lot lately. It was after reading that writing on mental illness is very much welcome, that there is a language amnesty on this day, and specifically Amandaw’s comments encouraging people [...]
