• blogs and therapy « Devastating Yet Inconsequential
  "Why have this blog at all? Honestly, writing out my thoughts in such detail really does help me work things out. And having an audience motivates me, so that I write here far more often than I would in a private journal. (The only time I kept a journal for real was in high school, when writing about myself was a great way to pass the time I spent trapped in classrooms.) And maybe having the pressure of an audience to push me to try to be fair helps me see a bit more clearly what’s going on outside of my head."

• Saxby Chambliss: Fiscal Conservative and Bi-Partisan!?!? at What Is Goin’ On?
  "After doing this for a few years, I have come to the conclusion that we need to pass a law that requires all elected officials to submit to cross-examination by an experienced trial attorney for at least 24 hours as part of qualifying to run for re-election." Ha! Wilson is great.

• Race Still Matters. « What If
  "And pretending like those obstacles don’t exist is precisely why race still matters in this country. You can’t face an enemy that you can’t define. You can’t fix a problem that you don’t understand. Locking the truths about racism away only serves to lock people of color out of the greater discourse and better opportunities. It assuages any possible white guilt at the expense of those who need our help. It reinforces the color lines that already exist in our communities, which us white people can happily deny the existence of since we are rarely forced to cross them. Pretending to be colorblind only means that those whose lives are circumscribed by color will be further forgotten."

• In Defence Of Womens Studies (Womanist Musings)
  "Unless something is focused completely on men, the MRA movement will immediately declare it misandry. Imagine the nerve of those uppity WISE profs having the nerve to tell young women that they matter. It certainly cannot qualify as true education if it isn't revolving around a poor marginalized dick.

  Don't you just love the hyperbole of his usage of the term hate speech. Right, hate speech to speak openly and honestly about issues that effect women. Unless we are docile and bathing the royal penis we are being hateful. Talk about extreme privilege denial."
