we know jesus was a jew, but what about barbie?

Tiffany Shlein, a lovely blonde jewess, made this really cool documentary. She talks about it on nextbook.

also, unrelated, but a note to the very first ever two people -alexander and sara anne-- who made comments in my comment section... thank you! I am learning how to make comments back. I guess I could just go to the site and make a comment of my own. This blog thing is all new. So here is me saying thank you.

jesus was a jew from africa

is the name of the show these adorable lesbians are doing. it's at midnight on december 22nd at the gauntlet. oh how I wish I wish I wish I was a cool young lesbian so I could be part of this scene. I was gonna do a guest spot but I can't stay up past ten. If you can stay up, past ten, go to it and then post some comments here about what I missed

It's true, my sister Faith is coming to LA and will be joining me onstage at the UCB show. That's right, a rare Soloway Sisters comedic festival. Well, a few minutes of it, anyway. Come and see us!

bitch mag

January 2006 marks Bitch Magazine's 10th year of publishing. A 10th anniversary is a huge deal for a little magazine. In 1996, Bitch was one of 1,000 magazine launches. Only half of them survived long enough to publish four issues. Fewer than 100 are still around today. It hasn't been easy, but Bitch has beaten the odds for an entire decade. And on top of that, Bitch has proven that a magazine supported by readers -- instead of advertising revenue -- is possible.

Since its inception back in 1996, Bitch has grown to become a feminist institution, reaching hundreds of thousands of people. It's made feminist analysis part of the pop culture landscape and pop culture criticism part of progressive politics. Perhaps most important, it's inspired countless young people to feminist thought and action. The work is far from over! Bitch needs your support to stay strong for its next decade. Here's what you can do to help:

-Donate! All contributions are tax-deductible . Go to http://bitchmagazine.com/donate.shtml, call 877-21-BITCH, or send a check to Bitch, 1611 Telegraph Ave Ste. 515, Oakland CA 94612.

-Become a subscriber! Subscriptions are crucial to Bitch's financial health, and here's why: When you buy Bitch at a bookstore, the magazine only gets about $2.25 of the $5.95 plus tax that it costs. When you subscribe, you pay only $3.75 per issue - great for you, 'cause it's a 37% discount, and great for Bitch, 'cause they get all of the money right away. Subscribing is easy! Go to http://bitchmagazine.com/order.shtml, call 877-21-BITCH, or send a check for $15 to Bitch, 1611 Telegraph Ave Ste. 515, Oakland CA 94612.

-Give the gift of Bitch. Not only is Bitch perfect for any occasion, you get a discount when you order multiple subscriptions: $15 for the first and $12 for each one after that. Go to http://bitchmagazine.com/order.shtml, call 877-21-BITCH, or send a check to Bitch, 1611 Telegraph Ave Ste. 515, Oakland CA 94612. Please note: If you are ordering online, the discount for multiple subscriptions will not show up automatically.
