Good reads
Topic: Reading

Ballastexistenz:  The Best Present I've Ever Received, which has planted the seed of an idea about Christmas presents for my family.

Shakesville: Impossibly Beautiful - links to the full series at the bottom of the post, all well worth checking out.

Anxious Black Woman:  Held to a Higher Standard?  A very thought-provoking post on how African Americans are pitted against other marginalized communities, that asks: "Are full citizenship, full participation in the state, and - inevitably - the "promise of whiteness" (for what else does whiteness promise but "full citizenship"?) the goals we must strive for, or can we envision something different for ourselves?"  I keep re-reading this over and over. 

Feministe:  Is It Worth the Risk? - Stop and think about how your "helpful" advice may very well be hurtful to people living with disabilities. 

Feminist Philosophers: Explaining Psychopathologies - the language is admittedly dense, but the ideas about the self and human relations are very intriguing.
