I haven't really read any of these yet, but here's what looks good both from
the Carnival of Feminists and The Internet At Large.
A statistical look at gay marriage opposition. Can someone tell me why it makes sense to have one variable measured on a 1-100 scale and the other variable on a 1-7? If I were doing the study, I would have had more similar magnitudes simply because the distribution of responses would reflect the other more easily. But perhaps I'm missing something. Rachel?
how to be a good liberal real nice guy. Reedies, take note.
Barbara Ehrenreich has a blog! And this post is about the economic cost of being poor. Okay, you've probably heard it before, especially if you read Nickel and Dimed.
If you prefer, then read her post about the sharp turns feminism is making. A bit of a rant about PMS and misconceptions thereof. Domestication, or, why ethology is still totally interesting to me. (Obviously not a feminist link but a bio one.)
Completely unrelated to feminism but related to scientific curiosity, the little scab where the doc took a cell sample appears to cover more non-mole skin than mole. I understand wanting to take non-hyperpigmented skin as a control, but that much? The sample site is maybe 2mm in diameter and only maybe 0.5mm is on top of the mole. But maybe the spot is healing over mole-free. That would be interesting.
And why does lidocaine or whatever local injected anaesthetic burn shortly after injection?
