Bitch in a Box: Holiday Gift Guide, Cocktail Hour Edition

Bitch HQ post by Kristin Rogers Brown on December 17, 2012 - 4:07pm; tagged Bitch in a Box, cocktails, drinks.
We all have a friend who makes more jokes than the rest about beer-o'clock, brings cocktail fixings to the office holiday potluck, and maybe has a “drink of the season.” (Bonus points if they’ve created a signature drink and named it after themselves.) If you don’t have that friend, you might be that friend. For your favorite happy-hour gossip, your partner in crime for cooking and sipping, or the friend who needs "a little something" to get them through the seasonal frenzy, here are a few merry, boozy, and bright ideas that are still thoughtful.

On Our Radar: Jenni Rivera, Trolls, and Mental Illness

Bitch HQ post by Emilly Prado on December 15, 2012 - 1:51pm; tagged Jenni Rivera, mental illness, misogyny, On Our Radar, rape, Serena Williams.

This week has unfortunately been filled with tragedy.  When we weren't reading the news, we were reading up on some of this week's other big issues.  Here's what we found:

  • Jenni Rivera died in a plane crash in Mexico this past weekend.  Here's an excellent article on Rivera's legacy and the work she did for women, immigrants, and LGBT youth. [Colorlines]
  • Although the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence finished up a few days ago, it's never too late to learn about the cause and create awareness. [US Aid]
  • Sarah Jaffe gets shouted at and berated far too often -- here's a piece she's written about the many trolls she's encountered. [Jezebel]
  • And here's some more misogyny to chew on.  If someone writes racist shit, the sensible thing to do is respond intelligently, right?  Apparently wrong.  Rhonda A. Lee, meteorologist at KTBS-TV, was fired after she gave a harassing commenter a piece of her mind.  [Clutch]
  • Speaking of racism (and sexism,) have you seen the latest tennis star to "mimic" Serena Williams and her body?  It's Caroline Wozniacki, using towels to plump up her boobs and behind. [scATX]
  • Though mental illness is no laughing matter, it's something that certain comedians must deal with.  This write-up is about the relationship between the two.  [Splitsider]
  • Sex and disability are often unexplored in films.  Stephanie Rogers examines how The Sessions addresses both. [Bitch Flicks]

Is there something we missed?  Let us know in the comments.  Our thoughts go out to all those affected by the shootings.

Top 10 Reasons: We Value the Environment and Show it in Our Business Practices

Bitch HQ post by Brian Frank on December 5, 2012 - 11:51am; tagged Bitch Media, business, community supported media.




4. We value the environment and show it in both our design and our business practices.


Back in 2010, both Julie (our Executive Director) and Sara Stroo (our publishing intern at the time) thoroughly reviewed our firm commitment to environmentally friendlier business practices here at Bitch Media—and what you can do to encourage them (hint: subscribe or donate, rather than buying on the newsstand!).

Honestly, not much has changed since then. We’re still on the newsstand. Middlemen still hold key sales information close to their vests—making it all but impossible to make timely, strategic (environmentally friendly!) distribution choices. Across the board, 65% of magazines from the newsstand still go unsold and are systematically destroyed—wasting the petroleum it takes to print them and get them there—and our precious resources as an independent, nonprofit feminist media organization.

Bitch in a Box: Holiday Gift Guide, Nostalgia Edition!

Bitch HQ post by Kelsey Wallace on December 4, 2012 - 10:47pm; tagged Bitch in a Box, holiday gift guide, nostalgia.
Stormy Heather Garbage Pail Kid getting hit by lightningThe holidays are a time for reflecting on cherished memories. For some people, this means recalling special moments with loved ones and celebrating past accomplishments. For me, it means wallowing in all of the pop culture I liked when I was a kid. Remember the Claymation Christmas Celebration? Or the time you got that She-Ra action figure? Sure you do. And if the friends and family on your gift list this year are like the rest of the Internet (and me) in their nostalgia for times recently gone by, here are some gift ideas, sorted by type. Fire up the Betamaxmas and let's do this!
