I Have Been Ungrateful, I've Been Unwise

Sexy Dress Want.  (Thanks, Natasha, aka Style Guru).

From the New Yorker: "The United States holds tens of thousands of inmates in long-term solitary confinement. Is this torture?"

In case you need a little boost in your day: the My Sharona scene from Reality Bites (best movie ever, obviously).


The Bejing version of the Sartorialist!

Via Bitch, definitely on my "to read" list: Michelle Goldberg’s The Means of Reproduction: Sex, Power and the Future of the World. "Goldberg's investigation into the intersection of the war on reproductive freedom and the global war for power spans four continents. From the HIV/AIDS epidemic to female circumcision to overpopulation to infant mortality to abortion rights, Goldberg analyzes how the means of reproduction influences the health of whole societies--even as women's rights have been sidelined by governments and social movements, and even as reproductive rights are weirdly isolated as “women’s issues” only. Goldberg emphasizes how the struggle to control women's bodies is the next great human rights struggle of our globalized world."
