It's a gorgeous summer day, solstice weekend, and I'm SICK. It's been a comatose day involving naps, zombie-esque football watching, and internet refreshing.

So, let me share some of the gems I have discovered:

Firstly, http://www.theseventeenmagazineproject.com/ is a great blog, by a young woman who graduated from high school this week. All the feminism you need when reading Seventeen magazine, with none of the theory and bitter snark that more experienced/older feminists throw around.

Secondly, what do you get when you cross music with fanfic? Snoop Dogg loves him some Sookie Stackhouse/Tru Blood. He has written a banal song called 'Oh Sookie' and you can watch the video here. I could only get through half the video, but the mere premise is highly amusing.

Brian and I DIED over the Sookie video-- "we can do it in the daytime, Bill will never know a thing." Episode two tomorrow night!

I loved the Seventeen site. She's certainly a better read than Jessica Vallenti, who seems so bent on being edgy and smart-ass that her often important and valid points get lost in the snark. I also appreciated seeing a privileged white teen who's AWARE of her privilege (even if I disagree with some of her conclusions on how to deal with the race and class issues she brings up).

Dood. Girlfriend is 18 - she's gonna be a dynamo in 10 years! Or less! I don't think feminism even made my radar until I hit my 20s.
