- FOGcon is a feminist-friendly literary science fiction convention
. And it’s happening in my back yard at the end of March. Feminist nerds, unite!
- The Good Men Project shared our critique of them with their readers . The commentors there when nuts. Sasha is now a hipster lady . And now you can share your awesomely stupid anti-diversity comments on a Tumblr !
- Shuffling feet: a black man’s view on Schroedinger’s Rapist . A dismantling of a common “argument” used by the anti-diversity side, written by someone who knows.
- Obama guaranteed near-universal contraceptive coverage . This is pretty important stuff because, well, women should get to choose when or if they are pregnant. You all know that right? Just checking.
- The fine folks at SPARK have a great letter to the people at LEGO about what’s wrong with the problems they (and we) see with LEGO marketing. I encourage you to go sign their petition , before or after you hear Bailey Shoemaker Richards talk to NPR about the issue .
- A young woman in Costa Rica is improving science education and outreach for her fellow high school students . She needs helps finding speakers for her second year doing so. Are you a space scientist or do you know one? Here’s your chance to promote diversity for realsies.
