I’ve been cat sitting for my friend while he visits his fiancé in France. The cat’s name is Margaret Thatcher or just “le chat.” My family has always had dogs but now I can kind of understand the appeal of having a cat. I’ve also been reading some of his «Philosophie» magazines at his apartment and it just reminds me that I really need to practice my French...

The White Man
andreaisace:
I think that people need to remember that often, when “the White man” is uttered from a minority’s (or anyone’s, really) mouth they are not necessarily accusing all White people of something, but rather are speaking about those who are oppressive. I mean, I could be completely wrong in this, but that is how I see it. When I read African-American poetry or hear an impassioned speech...

Katha Pollitt wrote about how the Left doesn’t seem to get that Assange can be a brave whistleblower and a sex offender at the same time. Update: he’s a whistleblower who also has really messed up attitudes about women in general.

And just like that Assange is the biggest asshole of December.

I read the article about how Germans see the US and and the comparison of the US with the EU. And even though I understand the intention of the article, I can’t get over certain things. Like:
“Everybody in the European Union has cradle-to-grave access to universal medical and a dental plan by law.”

why does this keep happening? can american television networks not air british (and irish, cough, father ted…) shows? are they afraid they will hurt the fragile sensibilites of the american public? or confuse their delicate minds? someone suggested to me that perhaps…

Turning theory into practice
Trödje pre-school started working with gender pedagogy in 1996. Pre-school teacher Ingeborg Bergvall says: “We keep the children under observation to see which abilities they need to develop and then we work with that. One example is that we keep boys and girls...
