Vegans Eat the Craziest F*ing Things



I just had an excellent sandwich: 

Whole grain bread
Sun-nut butter (from sunflower seeds, like peanut butter, but peanut butter kills me)
Shredded Carrots
Shredded Zucchini, courtesy of the local Uncertain Farms
Shredded, dried coconut (although fresh would be better)

It was delicious. Some of my friends could say "That's the craziest F*ing thing I ever ate," but not anywhere near as crazy (and cruel!) as eating diseased, enlarged duck liver and calling it a "delicacy." What's the craziest F*ing thing you like to call lunch?

Women Action and the Media

This year I am serious about attending the Women Action & The Media Conference hosted by the Center for New Words. The conference will be held March 27-29, 2009 at MIT in Cambridge, Mass. Supported by such organizations as Feministing, Bitch, Free Press, Women Make Movies and more, the conference features guest speakers, workshops and networking opportunities galore. I'm looking forward to presentations on climate change, blogging, jobs in the new media, grassroots feminism -- well, all of them. I think it's an excellent opportunity to share ideas and bring together social justice movements (yes, vegetarianism is feminism and environmentalism!).

Regardless of gender, everyone is welcome. So feminist, journalist, media-watcher, activist... you get the idea. Hope to see you there!

On-words,
*fff*
