Question Everything
Interested in eradicating sexual injustice? Post or message me to get involved in our screening of the film 12th and Delaware. We also need help organizing educational sessions on campus. Our goal is to educate women (and men) about the truths of Crisis Pregnancy Centers and they way they misrepresent themselves to women experiencing unintended pregnancies. We don’t care whether you’re prochoice or antichoice - we can all agree that misleading women is wrong. #TruthFail at VCU

The Debunking Handbook: now freely available for download
The Debunking Handbook, a guide to debunking misinformation, is now freely available to download. Although there is a great deal of psychological research on misinformation, there’s no summary of the literature that offers practical guidelines on the most effective ways of reducing the influence of myths. The Debunking Handbook boils the research down into a short, simple summary, intended as a guide for communicators in all areas (not just climate) who encounter misinformation.
“ Virginia Republicans who helped pass a law requiring women to get an ultrasound before an abortion found their political Facebook pages flooded this week with the kind of information normally reserved for the ob/gyn. ”
I remember having to make a tessellation as a vaguely math-related project in 5th grade; it wasn’t nearly as cool as this.

Good to know that there are non-supporters of Kony 2012.
Do research people. Before you start to support something you know nothing about.
I was at the #M3 “Speak Loudly With Silence” women’s rights rally in Richmond, VA
I figured some of my followers might be interested in more information from someone who was at the protest/rally this past Saturday, March 3rd, 2012. I was also at the silent protest at the Capitol on Monday, February 20th.
I posted (shaky, unedited) videos of the arrests and other police actions on my YouTube channel. I was not one of those who stayed on the Capitol steps, so I was not arrested, but I saw most of the arrests as they occurred. Here are two videos that are much prettier than mine.
I reblogged it earlier, but my friend, who was also at the protest, wrote an excellent account of the treatment of the arrestees on her own blog. You can read it here.
The local newspaper addressed the treatment of prisoners in an article today, but the one that appears on its website is different and has less detail than the one I read in the actual paper this morning. Nevertheless, it contains more information. The newspaper also posted a story on Saturday, the day of the protest.
I really like these photos; they are much better than any that I took.
I may edit this post later once I am not so busy, but we shall see.
Kativist RVA: The police's treatment of those arrested at the Silence is Deafening M3 Protest
Trigger warnings: non-gratuitous discussion of arrests, police weaponry, imprisonment, unsanitary/humiliating bathroom arrangements, zip-tying, extended confinement.
Yesterday, more than a thousand people gathered at Virginia’s capital at the Silence Is Deafening women’s rights protest, to…

I heard this song thanks to Pandora, and now it’s one of my favorites. The song is called “Welcome Home” by Radical Face, from the album Ghost. It’s one of those rare songs that makes me feel like I have a catch in my heart, making it ache.
