Feminist Frequency Launches First Kickstarter-funded Video

For those not familiar with the long, sordid and mind-bendingly awful tale of Anita Sarkeesian and her Kickstart campaign, here’s a link to the Wiki history. I do warn you, if you dig past the article into the examples of misogyny and hate that was thrown her way for daring to speak on the topic of gender roles in video game characters, bring a barf bag. It’s not pleasant stuff. Continue reading

Reading Into Life

There are too many reasons to count why we should all watch the movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off at least once a year, but the one sticking in my head right now is the immeasurable wisdom of this great line: “Life moves pretty fast. You don’t stop and look around once in while, you could miss it.” Too true, Ferris; too true indeed. Continue reading

People had gathered in a small room, cameras flanking them on all sides, as they decided what would be included in the new Texas state public school textbooks. Continue reading

Lizz Free or Die – Laugh Medicine for the Soul and the World

Memoirs are a funny experiment right off the bat. You have to allow yourself a certain level of ego to sit down and think, “I’m gonna write a book all about me. Then people are going to buy because I am just that interesting.” It’s not the easiest of steps to take, believe me, I’ve actually written one (which will likely only be released post-mortem.)
