I organized this hate crimes event because I’m a mom
Cross-posted from The Sin City Siren: Are you ready for the NOH8 in Las Vegas hate crimes event? I can’t believe it’s almost here! You can still RSVP here. And all this planning has me thinking about the first time I organized an event for Erin Davies and her “fag bug.” I spent most of […]

A library is a terrible thing to waste
September 3, 2012
While the War on Women might be getting all the juicy headlines lately, there’s another issue quietly smoldering in the background noise of this election season. It’s buried under all the campaign rhetoric and doom-and-gloom forecasts about the economy. Our public libraries are not just threatened this election season. They’re fighting for their lives — […]
Surviving on one sandwich a day… in America
May 9, 2012
For a lot of people who have met me in the past decade or so, it might seem like I don’t know anything about poverty first-hand. After all, I’m a white, stay-at-home mom in the suburbs.

Maybe International Women’s Day is not at the top of your annual holiday calendar. But there’s good reason to be thinking about this 101-year-old tradition. So what is IWD? […]
Tell Hallmark to stop stealing from local LGBT greeting card company Teazled!
February 23, 2012
Folks, we need to step up and help one of our own. LGBTQ greeting card company Teazled, which was founded by a fantastic lesbian couple and is based right here in Las Vegas, is in a fight over intellectual property and copyright infringement with the megalith Hallmark. (Full disclosure: The couple go to my church.) […]
Oops! Happy Anniversary!
November 22, 2011
Oh boy. I’ve been so busy stirring up controversy over on my other blog, The Sin City Siren, that I’ve been neglecting The Tired Feminist! It ain’t easy being a one-woman show! And this blog’s name is truth in advertising; I am tired! But can it be that I completely forgot the first anniversary of […]
