With exciting programs on the horizons ready to launch, we’re sharing 10 Reasons to Support Bitch to compel readers to invest in our future. This week’s reason focuses on where our money comes from—and why that’s so important. Technically, Reason #2 reads:

10 Reasons to Support Bitch Media: We're Showcasing a New Generation of Feminist Writers and Critics

Bitch HQ post by Andi Zeisler on November 14, 2012 - 12:24pm;

image of several copies of Bitch

One of the things that we feel strongly about at Bitch, and always have, is that there's no one monolithic feminism, but many feminisms, and even more voices that speak to that variety. And it's been gratifying, eye-opening, and thrilling to work with and publish so many of these voices over the past 17 years.

On Our Radar: Special Halloween Edition!

Bitch HQ post by Emilly Prado on October 31, 2012 - 2:04pm; tagged halloween, horror films, links, On Our Radar, Zombies.

We hope you're enjoying this Halloween with lots of candy, costumes, and fun! Here's a special On Our Radar round-up of links we love around the web, including zombie history, horror-film heroiens, and a reminder to not be a total racist!
  • Doreen Oliver shares her story about her son wanting to be a princess for Halloween, and how the white-washed princess costumes gave her pause. [The New York Times]
  • Speaking of the dead, you can always pay your respects by visiting the grave sites of some of America's most famous writers. Here's a run-down of their final resting places.  [The Atlantic]
  • Scary flicks are a must on this spooky holiday, but don't be fooled by all of the misrepresented and stigmatized depictions of women with mental illness often found in horror films. Here's a read to make you think twice before you judge that "crazy bitch." [Bitch Flicks]
  • Here's a fabulous list of some of the most badass (and overlooked) horror film heroines of all time. But watch out! They might bite. [The Hairpin]
  • People can't seem to get enough of zombies these days. Ever wondered where their story originated? Amy Wilentz lays it out. [The New York Times]
  • Don't be racist, don't be racist, don't be racist! Kelsey shared a good run-down last week, but here is another eloquent take on how to not be racist for Halloween. [Tiger Beatdown]
  • What's creepier than the creepiest horror film you've ever seen? When they're real! Here's a list of scary movies based on true stories. [Flavorwire]
  • UTNE is posting some of their best posts on contemporary witchcraft and feminst spirituality—here's one of them. [UTNE Reader]
  • And finally, Sociological Images has rounded up their Halloween-themed posts, that range from the good (women laughing with salad!), the bad ("Anna Rexia"), and the ugly (did we mention that people are really racist on Halloween?) [Sociological Images]

So what are you costumed in for the holiday? Read anyting good? Share in the comments section below!

On Our Radar: Air Force Discrimination, Fatphobia, and Change.org

Bitch HQ post by Kjerstin Johnson on October 26, 2012 - 10:45am;

Here's a round-up of what we've been reading this week!

  • Roseanne, really? Yesterday Roseanne Barr let transphobic tweets flow. Monica at Trans Griot shares her disappointment and goes over (again) why the bathroom-predator meme is a fallacy. 
  • At Ebony.com, Jamilah Lemieux has an important piece about no matter what happened to Sharmeka Moffitt, we need to examine the way we think about crimes against black women in the media. 
  • At Feministing, Jos Truitt writes why she's not using Change.org anymore.
  • Oglala Sioux actor and activist Russell Means has passed away. Indian Country has gathered some reactions and reflections.
  • Live Love Grow has 21 things to stop saying unless you hate fat people.
  • Janet Mock talks to Julianne Hing about trans narratives in the media at Colorlines.
  • Getting confused with all the Republican rants on rape and abortion? This Slate piece outlines who's saying what. 
  • We have a lot of Radiolab fans at the office, and we are all disappointed with them after reading Kao Kalia Yang's account of how the "Yellow Rain" episode actually went down. You can read her moving essay at Hyphen. 
  • Here's one more reason to be mad at the military: They discriminate against single mothers. 
  • Bitch got a shout-out for our use of "douchebag" on the Chronicle's Lingua Franca blog. Speaking of douchebags, have you voted for the seasonal douchebag?

BitchTapes: The Daily

Bitch HQ post by Emilly Prado on October 19, 2012 - 12:38pm; tagged BitchTapes.

BitchTapes: The Daily from BitchTapes on 8tracks Radio.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been spending a whole lot of time with preschoolers lately. Amongst some of the things we teach the tykes are the days of the week. I’ve grown tired of the “Sunday, Monday, Tuesday…” song after singing it nearly every day for the past two weeks, so I thought I’d create a BitchTapes to remind myself of the joys that days of the week can bring. Use this mixtape to refresh your memory if you ever find yourself forgetting which day comes next.
