Gwyneth Hate Watch: Hey world, why so judgey?
While I am no Gwyneth Paltrow fan, I was irritated to see a glut of angry, sexist comments about this story in which Gwyneth Paltrow shares her daily routine, including two-hour workouts. I don’t understand the ragehol about her fitness/work/family routine. Besides the mega-millions and super-stardom, her routine seems like a lot of working parents […]

The unquenchable desire: On the compulsion for more, more, more
February 1, 2013
Desire is unquenchable. Likewise, it is our attachment to things that causes suffering. Learn to detach from desire, and you’re on your way to enlightenment. Or, so I’ve been told. These days I’ve been thinking a lot about attachments and desires and, well, stuff. All the stuff. From all the shoes that fall out of […]
How feticide laws turn women into gestational slaves
January 8, 2013
Anti-choice advocates have a friend in feticide laws. Akin to personhood laws, as far as I can tell, there is no upside to feticide laws. The supposed intent of such laws is to add a charge of murder to anyone who kills a fetus through violence. However, these laws are often really about criminalizing the […]
No safe bets: Revamping the school lunch program
June 14, 2012
Thanks to a long-overdue overhaul by the USDA, school lunches are likely to look a lot different starting July 1. Here in Las Vegas, the Clark County School District — the nation’s fifth largest — is readying to implement new school lunch guidelines this fall. And it’s one tall order. As this well-written and insightful […]
Physical therapy
June 6, 2012
About a month ago I started doing physical therapy. Like most forms of therapy, it’s a time-intensive, difficult, and sometimes intense process. Emphasis on process. And while I went through physical therapy once before, in my 20s for a problem with my shoulder, this time around has been a much more emotional — and enlightening […]
My so-called vegan life
May 1, 2012
I’m not exactly sure what day I became a vegan, but it was around this time last year that I realized I was a vegan. An accidental vegan, for sure, because I never intended it to happen. I use the term less as a badge of my identity and more as a short-hand for what […]

Get by with a little help from our allies
March 25, 2012
*TRIGGER WARNING FOR SEXUAL VIOLENCE* Earlier today I participated in a tweet chat about sexual violence and the #IDidNotReport campaign with my Fem2.0 colleagues. It was a great and lively discussion that dealt with a spectrum of issues related to sexual violence — from workplace harassment to sexual abuse to rape. When you get down […]
