She’s almost halfway there!

this is my friend Frances Varian. She is an awesome person and a talented author.

She is loving and wonderful and very ill.

Like lots of us she does not have the resources to get life saving treatment.

So let’s go tumblr.

Let’s do this.

Let’s save another bright light.

If you can’t donate please boost. Tell your friends. Ask them to tell their friends.

Let’s save a life.

Adding a one click link.

Feminist reading lyf

I read a lot of ~feminist~ stuff on the internet, and read quite a bit of feminist literature and literary theory (I have a BA in english literature and tended to choose courses with big emphases on women’s writing) and some Simone de Beauvoir—but I’m sorely deficient in not having read a lot of important, monumental feminist theory, particularly anything in the last century. People like bell hooks and Audre Lorde, I’ve never read, which is a kind of a shame! So I’m setting myself a challenge—with no determined end-date, but still—to tackle more authors with a stronger emphasis on more critical theory. Also other feminist-y works, like fiction and poetry are always welcome. Here is the beginning of a list of authors I’m going to try—any suggestions are welcome!

bell hooks, Ntozake Shange, Audre Lorde, Frantz Fanon, Zora Neale Hurston, Patricia Hill Collins, Judith Butler, Emma Goldman

Also found some resources through here which seem helpful! Exciting!

okay wish me luck!

Tip for all my student readers: if you’re too lazy to use a bibliography creator like NoodleBib or RefWorks, let Google generate your bibliography entries for you. All you have to do is google the article/book title in Google Scholar, click “cite” at the bottom of the search result, and copy either the MLA, APA, or Chicago cite into your word document. 

My life, it just got better.

oh my god. A+++

I’m secretly so angry that Zach Braff is funding his new movie through kickstarter.
