textModern Day Slavery under the Guise of Foreign 'Bride' by New American Media (reposted)

textAbortion may be legal in California -- but that doesn't mean you can actually get one. by sfbg (reposted)

Here in San Francisco, fear about the local success of a ballot measure which attacks a woman’s right to choose is low: San Francisco has long been a haven for pro-choice supporters. However, Proposition 85 has a fundamental flaw which overrides an individual’s position on abortion, and everyone should be talking about it.

textImitating Others As Control: Is Drag Sexist/Racist? by kirsten anderberg
Next time you see someone performing either gender or race drag, THINK ABOUT IT! Don’t support racist or sexist stereotyping via imitation (or gender/race drag), as entertainment. It is not benign humor; no more so than "black face" was. It is very rare that I see any gender or race drag acts that are not sexist and/or racist. Only when the dominant paradigm is the butt of the joke, not the oppressed group, does drag work for me as entertainment....
