If you’d like your day to be lightened up with a giggle or two, check out Rhetorically Speaking, where you can read Bookdrunk’s ticklish deconstruction of Melanie Phillips’s tirades in the Daily Mail against watering cans and Alan Johnson, the UK’s latest Education Secretary lambaster of marriage, parenthood, childhood, romance, responsibility, freedom, Christianity, morality, common sense, and - what an outrage! - ‘frilly pinnies’.

The Daily Mail claims 5.5m readers per day.

You are invited to go check out the Carnival of Feminists - showcasing the best recent writing from the feminist blogosphere. The latest edition has just been skillfully put together over at Super Babymama.

This week’s Britblog Roundup is up and sunning itself over at Tim Worstall’s blog… go read!

Thanks to Tim for picking out the fruit of my Three Guineas fest this week: » Stop war-mongering with 20 quid and a bit of Woolf.

I’m still reading my way through the fantastic Carnival of Feminists no.19 over at Figure: Demystifying the Feminist Mystique and I thought I’d recommend the staggeringly extensive series of photographs of Frida Kahlo and credit AngryBlackBitch for teaching me the phrase

“stick that in your microwave and defrost it!”

It’s had me laughing to myself all morning.

Big thanks to Natalie over at Philobiblon for her generous top-billing of Feminish in her weekly digest of new female bloggers, Friday Femmes Fatales. It made my day.

It’s Carnival Time!

The 19th Carnival of Feminists is up at Figure: Demystifying the Feminist Mystique - the latest compilation of the finest feminist posts from around the blogsphere.
