Ada Lovelace day is “an international day of blogging to celebrate the achievements of women in technology and science.” by blogging about a woman in technology. Unfortunately, it’s also a day when I’m getting over a bad case of the ‘flu, and not really coherent enough to write well, and I was seriously considering not [...]

I’m working from home today, as I’m too ill to go into work (have also been too ill to blog for a few days). As our systems are temporarily down, I thought I’d take a minute to do a quick linkblog. Firstly, one that might interest Debi and Jennie (and any other feminists who like [...]

Beatles post tonight, assuming this migraine dies down. Firstly, while I thought I had reason to be mildly annoyed at Google, at least it didn’t decide I automatically wanted to be bestest friends with an abusive ex and a bunch of people who want to rape me, like it did with someone else… meanwhile Twitter [...]

Apologies for the lack of new contend. I do have a few posts planned for the next few days: HELP! tomorrow, James Bond on Saturday, a review of Bryan Talbot’s new graphic novel Grandville on Sunday, but I’ve been quite tired for the last few days and also planning stuff for PEP! – my new [...]

Just a few quick links today… Justin Zyduck has posted a Doctor Who revamp idea in response to mine. Jennie asks Do You Know A Rapist? while Roz Kaveney wants feminists to speak out against the murder of transpeople. I wish neither post was necessary… Over at the Mindless Ones Tymbus talks about the Uncle [...]

Did you miss me (yeah!) while I was away? Did you hang my picture on my wall? No? Suit yourselves then. Anyway, after a week of late nights at work, concern over hospitalised family members and friends, Doctor Who conventions, seeing off emigrating friends and general STUFF, I’m now back. Tomorrow I’m going to start [...]

Migraine today, so I’m putting off the rest of my guide to my blogroll til tomorrow. Gavin Robinson has a good post on women’s role in warfare through the ages. Caron quite rightly asks what we’re doing sending people to fight for a regime that allows women who don’t have sex with their husbands to [...]

I’m going to link to a few things here, but the only one I really care about is this – Andrew Rilstone’s new pdf ‘zine, with which he’s broken his five-month blog silence. I’ve only read the first quarter, but I can already say it’s one of the best things (if not *the* best) I’ve [...]

I’ve half been putting off reviewing Seaguy: Slaves Of Mickey Eye 2 because I know that when the Mindless Ones get round to their annocommentations there will be very little left to say, and then I can look very clever by just pointing out one or two things that they’ve not said. However, they’re holding [...]

Just a short list of things that annoy me beyond all reason: 1) “The Liberal Democrats need to get off the fence and say what their actual policies are” Yep, because it’s not as if we’ve got tons of policy papers out there, or a simple pocket guide to our policies, is it? 2) “Ringo [...]
