Who I am:

I'm also known as Rachel McCarthy James! I'm a young and very privileged feminist who lives in Virginia, tutors composition, and watches a lot of television. You can also find me at: Deeply Problematic and Critical Drinking.

What I'm reading:

Recently: Dykes to Watch Out for, by Alison Bechdel; Oryx and Crake & The Edible Woman, by Margaret Atwood; webcomics: Achewood and Questionable Content. On my to-read pile: Feminism is for Everybody, by bell hooks; Gender Outlaw, by Kate Bornstein; Push, by Sapphire; Templar, Arizona, by spike.

What I'm listening to:

I've recently been jamming to: Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Lil Wayne, Bauhaus, The Grateful Dead, Britney Spears, Laura Nyro, Grace Potter& the Nocturnals, Santogold, Talking Heads, Jay-Z, Railroad Earth, and Megadeth. I especially love live music.

What I'm watching:

For Bitch, I'm covering (and thus watching) Lost, The Office, South Park, and Family Guy.l (Also probably Weeds, Parks and Rec, 30 Rock, and Mad Men.) Otherwise: The X-Files, King of the Hill

What blogs I like:
