– from frau sally benz: “It is here! Our online feminist book club!”
– “Ever wondered what, exactly, happens in those conversations that Sarah Palin is so determined to prevent? What is a Death Panel, after all? Now your questions can be answered from someone who has actually done the deed.”
– “How is it that more people are interested in what kind of crib I will need than how my writing schedule will alter? How is it that more people are interested in the date of the ultrasound that will announce gender than the date I get a nuchal translucency screening that tests for Down Syndrome? When I do articulate feelings, why are my worries and fears minimized to a scattering of pulp when I muse aloud about my career, my ability to move and travel, the unknown, unpredictable future and that, yes, I am choosing this, AND, yes, am still scared? “

– “An Aboriginal community has petitioned for refugee status as displaced persons as a result of the Northern Territory intervention. You’ve really got to put that into the perspective of the other events that led to people being refugees: natural disasters, civil war, persecution. Then you’ve got to realise that this is right here in Australia, where we complain about the cost of cappucinos and losing the Ashes.”
