Unsystematic commentary and updates from a Pacific-Northwest lady and erstwhile Austinite now exploring the wilds of New England.

Irritating words
You know what word I can't stand? "Bump." As in "Baby Bump." For some reason the entertainment news channels have adopted this as the universal term for being visibly pregnant. I'm not sure why it bugs me. It strikes me as a little crass, somehow.

I do my part to subvert the patrilineal paradigm. I don't think feminism is about doing things that have always oppressed us only now we're "choosing" it. I like red and orange, and believe that Ms. Magazine saved my life in 1990. What most people think is funny I often think is sad. I like underdogs and the people who root for them.
