Ahem. Because I love you. Although I do hasten to add that the following (while so funny that it may cause you to literally weep with laughter) IS NSFW. Not safe for work, not safe for parents-in-law, not safe for small children (depending on the rules about language in your house), probably not safe for [...]

Palestine, the UN, Israel, the Oslo Accords – &, me on Russian TV.
So yesterday, something of a stink was made about the fact that Israel is talking about “cancelling” the Oslo Accords if the Palestinians insist on going to the UN in September to ask for recognition as a state. Only it doesn’t really seem that Israel is necessarily considering such a move with any seriousness — [...]

Busy busy busy.
Oookay. I have a lot to catch up on. Not least that I appeared on Russian teevee again today…! But first, all the other catching up: My first real post at Feministe — which was pretty well received! — was a slightly re-worked version of my post about the use of the word “nude” in [...]

My on-going domination of all the internets.
Ok, so a funny thing happened on my way to obscurity. This blog was found by the good folks at Feministe, and two weeks and one day after I wrote that woe-is-me-I’m-not-sure-if-I-can-stand-writing-anymore post, they emailed to ask if I would like to guest blog this summer…! And so, not being a complete idiot, I said [...]

Amy Winehouse – may her memory be for a blessing.
UPDATE: Please also read Russell Brands’ deeply moving essay about Winehouse, the nature of addiction, and what it’s like to love an addict: “When you love someone who suffers from the disease of addiction you await the phone call. There will be a phone call.” ***** I can’t tell you why, exactly, Amy Winehouse’s downward [...]

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
A lot of bad news out there… My heart goes out to the Norwegian people, and God bless Norway’s Prime Minister Jens Stoltenbergfor his immediate response to the horrific attacks on his people: “You will not destroy our democracy. No one will ever scare us from being Norway.” As many as eleven killed in protests [...]

And I had to walk uphill both ways.
I don’t know if you’ve heard, but it’s been hot. Hot in the Middle West, hot in the South, hot in the East, hot for the Hottentots, no doubt. Only in the Pacific Northwest — where they have, apparently, had 78 minutes of summer so far (according to actual scientists) — has it been anything [...]
