Out with the old, in with the new
Hey there, Tired Feminist fans. I’m glad you’ve hung in there and patiently waited for some new posts. I apologize for being a bit negligent. It seems my baby decided that the spoils of daycare should be at least one illness a week that pretty much brings the entire house to a grinding halt. Perhaps […]

December 8, 2011
Today the HERVotes Coalition is hosting a blog carnival (follow posts from across the country on twitter via the #HERVotes hashtag) about women and the economy, and in particular unemployment insurance. I know, I know. Unemployment insurance. Glamorous stuff. But that’s just the thing. Unemployment insurance, like so many aspects of the down economy — […]
Feminist Files: It’s a jungle out there
October 18, 2011
Is it something in the air? If you think there is no War on Women, you haven’t been paying attention to the full-scale attack on Planned Parenthood — which is nothing short of an indictment on women’s reproductive health care.

Debt ceiling shenanigans hurt women, kids, elderly!
July 28, 2011
Here’s a quickie: The debt-ceiling debate is really heating up. And conservatives want to “balance” the budget on the backs of women, children and the elderly. There’s never been a better time to speak up! Signing the Mom’s Rising petition is a good place to start.

July 14, 2011
It’s hot out there, and I don’t just mean the weather: Have you been watching the week-long series on sexual violence airing on My News 3′s Healthline segment? It features Nevada Coalition Against Sexual Violence Executive Director Andrea Sundberg speaking on a variety of issues related to sexual violence. (Full disclosure: I am on the […]
Share our stories: My Planned Parenthood
July 7, 2011
This post is part of the My Planned Parenthood blogger carnival today organized by Shakesville and What Tami Said. Here’s the story I shared in February: Picture a 16-year-old girl, huddled amongst strangers at a bus stop. The snow is stacked so high behind the bus bench, it creates a small wall against the biting […]
Truth to power
July 5, 2011
Feminist blogging consortium Shakesville and Midwestern blogger What Tami Said are hosting a blog carnival for Planned Parenthood on Thursday, July 7. They are seeking bloggers and non-bloggers alike to share their personal stories about how Planned Parenthood has helped them. This is a great opportunity to stand with Planned Parenthood.

Watercooler
June 14, 2011
I’ve been dealing with a sick baby for the past four days (she’s on the mend, thankfully), so I haven’t had much time to get on the computer. In the mean time, here are some stories that have caught my interest: The Third Wave Foundation has released a compelling report and infographic, which details exactly […]
The cost of access
April 15, 2011
For the second year in a row I am participating in the The National Abortion Funds virtual Bowlathon. Why do I do this? Because I believe that striking out barriers to health care can be a matter of life and death. Through more than 100 affiliate programs all over the country (find yours here), NAF […]
