16. Any criticism of feminism is a form of Hate-Speech. A feminist’s own speech is allowed to be as hateful as she wants it to be.
17. If somebody has the temerity to criticize the behavior of feminists, you should dismissively sneer that they’re attacking “strawfeminists”– absurdist caricatures who […]
I had an unhappy time at the dentist yesterday. Not from throwing up–that happened before I left home. I got to the appointment ten minutes early, and the hygienist didn’t start on me until just about the time that I should have been getting out of there. Longer than I wanted to […]
MFH brought home The Da Vinci Code, on loan from his boss, but he wanted to read the preceding book first. So I read it. It was entertaining, but the theology was so horribly wrong that I suspect the author of being on the payroll of Satan’s Propaganda Department. Read the Old […]
Is it too early to get an “Anyone But Hillary” bumper sticker?
Sew? I Knit! is a group of knitters that are trying their hands at sewing. The next Sew-Along, for April, is to sew a bag of some sort. Sign-ups are open through this week; I just joined. The first Sew-Along was to sew a skirt; it’s interesting to see how everyone’s skirts […]
About once a month, there’s a free pizza lunch at the University for female graduate students in engineering and science.

Yes, that would be me. Goodbye, old body. As Ingrid Trobisch said in The Joy of Being a Woman: “Every woman has to learn anew in every phase of her life to understand what happens in her body biologically and to live in harmony with herself.” Well….ok….hello, bigger boobs. MFH […]
Or, what to do with all that powdered milk. (Any cat will gladly take care of the tuna for you.) I’m not claiming that this is great cocoa–powdered milk takes some getting used to–but I drink this fairly often.
Makes 12 ounces of cocoa.
1.5 Cups water
0.5 Cup powdered milk
4 to 8 teaspoons […]
Turned out that we got closer to 10 inches of snow on Monday, and now it’s snowing again. Shovelling on Monday was a major undertaking; the ground was warm and so the bottom layer of snow was wet and stuck to the shovel. Made it hard to throw the snow up the hill […]
