Link Love!

Love in knit form. Found this reminder on a steel banister in town.

* My friend Ed started a new blog! There's a whole lot of pretty to look at. So... go look!

* Roseanne Barr is not only a hilarious comedienne, sitcom pioneer, and feminist, but she's also a damn good writer. She recently wrote an editorial for New York Magazine, and it's an interesting and detailed read about her struggles in Hollywood and more. Oh, and apparently she's a macadamia nut farmer now as well.

* Gender Across Borders has a post up this week that just set my mama heart a-fluttering. Please take the time to read this wonderfully written piece on The Misappropriation of Breastfeeding & the Shaming of Girls.

* 1. I was very surprised that there was such a thing as the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media. Super cool. 2. Not very surprised at their latest findings, however. 

* I have a random obsession with mental hygiene videos from the '40s, '50s & '60s that were shown to high school age kids in school. These videos usually were on anything from manners to drug use to dating/social norms. That might give you some insight as to why I'm fascinated with this clip of the documentary "Growing Up Female" from 1971 that's currently making the rounds online.

* This week's song that sings to me is one that we've been singing around the house lately, thanks to EZ. I happen to prefer this John Denver/Muppet version, myself.
