The internet is full of brilliant people

Stuff you should read:

shreena: Where are you from?

moominmuppet: On hookup culture and the latest round of moral panic about girls / young women having casual sex.

hatam_soferet: Tefillin Barbie's new career is just a brilliant piece about lay participation in Judaism, but it's also about gender performance and women living integrated lives.

Probably everybody who follows these things knows already, but I am so pleased Harriet Jacobs is back, after Google Buzz came close to putting her in enough danger to drive her off the internet. Her recent post on leaving an abusive relationship is really a stonker.
