Fun coincidence
Not too long ago, Bitch posted an Adventures in Feministory post about Anna May Wong. In a lovely turn of coincidence, an article on Colorlines is calling for Kickstarter donations to help Yunah Hong release her documentary on Wong. I thought folks here might be interested!

Is there a link for the Ms
Is there a link for the Ms net neutrality article?
Whoops!
Why yes there is, right here. Thanks for pointing that out!
One More Worth Noting
At the Huffington Post, Eve Ensler is over rape. Note: Possible "triggers" in the piece
so... obama did not veto net
so... obama did not veto net neutrality, according to that article. *congress* *voted down* a measure that would have *overturned* the fcc's ability to enforce net neutrality.
and that... that is a pretty misleading summary you've got up there.
Spice Girls!
Loved the Rookie post on the Spice Girls! I've been a feminist since I was a fetus, so when I was 7-9 and the Spice Girls were at their top they were just part of my elementary-school feminism. And I totally agree with everything that the article said... the Spice Girls rock! I still love them... The Spice World dvd is glittering above my desk and is now begging me to forgo homework to watch it...
