This weekend's Washington Post was really good! Firstly, there was an awesome piece in the magazine about the importance of space and financial freedom to womens' creativity (rock on, 'room of one's own' theory). Fucking. OATH. the minutiae of childcare and housecleaning and keeping 80 zillion administrative matters in your head stifles the ability to contribute meaningfully to the world's dialogue (artistic, political, economic or what have you). I can't even meaningfully update my own motherfucking blog.
Secondly, Courtney Martin of Feministing.com is a finalist in a Wash Post writers contest in which the winner will be awarded a weekly column in the print edition! Finally, something on the op ed pages to counteract the rampant twattery of Kathleen Parker.
Is it possible that newsmakers and/or public sentiment is leaning marginally less to the right here in the upper echelons of D.C.? I don't mean left, lord no, just maybe slightly more centre than Taliban.
