I’ve been busy moving house the past couple of weeks, dear readers, and finally got my desktop computer set up in the new apartment today.  But even as I was drowning in boxes and packing tape, I managed to read some high-quality internets – and now I shall share them with you!

First of all, carnivals!  The Feminist SF Carnival has found a host for its 17th issue at Spawn of Blogorrhea.  Send in your links by September 19th!  And for ...Read More

The latest Feminist SF Carnival is up at The True Confessions of an Hourly Bookseller, and Mickle has collected a fabulous pack of links for you all to read.  Set aside a good chunk of time, do some reading, and then – if you enjoy these carnivals, as I’m sure you do – go volunteer to host the next one, okay?  Okay!

The next bit of internets I have to share with you this week is something to watch as well ...Read More

Hi there, internets!  I’ve missed you!  Sorry I disappeared for so long – first I was busy reading the last Harry Potter book, and then there were inconveniently-timed power outages (it’s monsoon season here, and we tend to lose power lines during the high winds and flooding), and then after that I was having RSI troubles – but I’m here now!  And, though I’ve been online rather less than usual the past month, I do have some internets for you ...Read More

I’ve had some bad flare-ups of repetitive-stress pain in my wrists and elbows the past couple weeks, internets, which is why there was no IRtI last week.  This week’s will have some links that would have been included in that round-up, but I’m afraid it won’t be double-sized or anything awesome like that.  Less time at the keyboard means less internets reading!

(and before anyone asks, yes, I use braces, have an ergonomic set-up, and utilize timers.  I also sometimes just ...Read More

Hey there, internets! Ready for some reading? Excellent. I happen to have some here for you!

First up this week, I’d like to direct your attention to a very fine post by Mickle at The True Confessions of an Hourly Bookseller, wherein she addresses the oft-expressed idea that feminists (and other people with a lot to complain about) ought to be saving their complaints for the important stuff:

To argue that one should only complain about the “legitimately sexist garbage” raises the ...Read More

It’s been over a hundred degrees here every day this week, and I have learned something very important: It’s hard to read the internets while eating popsicles.  One might think that internets reading could be done with only one hand engaged in mousing, thus allowing the second hand (assuming the reader has two hands, which isn’t actually a given, but we’ll go with it) to be engaged with the popsicle.  This is a fine theory, but it fails to take ...Read More
