If my blogging seems a bit light as of late, that’s because you’ve been looking in the wrong place. Over the past few months, I’ve been spending more and more of my free/internets time at easyVegan.info, my animal advocacy blog. In particular, I’ve found myself increasingly interested in intersecting and parallel oppressions, i.e., the many ways in which violence against non-human animals is related and linked to violence against women, children, people of color, etc. (Blame it on the ever-infuriating PETA kerfluffles, natch.) Since I used to blog about this topic infrequently, I’d usually crosspost liberally between here and there. But too much crossposting makes me feel like a cheater, so I’m getting more selective with the copy and paste functions. If this topic interests you, then, you should definitely add easyVegan.info to your reading list.

Speaking of crossposting, after 8+ months, I’ve finally updated the Get Active! page. The list of resources had more than quadrupled; even I can’t believe how many mailing lists I’m on. Check it out, and let me know if I missed anyone.

Now for the random awesomeness!

These blogs, which I am seriously digging: Animal Person; Invisible Voices; Sociological Images; On Human-Nonhuman Relations; SuperWeed; and Animal Rights @ Change.org. And Elaine’s new project, Selling Compassion, sounds quite promising.

Cara’s Yoko Ono: A Feminist Analysis series (final post here).

Stephen Colbert, back from vacation. And with co-host Alan Colmes, to boot!

Jon Stewart’s ‘Strip Maul’/Gaza analogy.

The soft-serve ice cream maker that mommy gifted me for FSMas. Now I just need to find some vegan recipes. I’m off to an ok start with A Vegan Ice Cream Paradise and this list at VegWeb. Additional suggestions, anyone?

Ellen the miniature American Eskimo dog

who totally resembles this weird, cuddly little cryptid.

WANT.

11 days left in Bush’s term, 12 days ’till inauguration and 13 days until the Season Five premiere of Lost.

Decidedly NOT awesome: the last item on the above list is the one which most excites me.
