A letter to my very ---- husband who is asleep in the other room. I don't need any more wack searches coming to my blog than I already have, so I'm editing out one word. But holy f*ck this woman can write.

My belated Loving Day post - part one on woman of an(other) color
(In case any white feminists are reading this post, MAYBE NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO STOP SAYING THAT NO ONE'S BEING RACIST TO OBAMA while you're complaining about the sexism Hillary Clinton experienced. It's not true, it's beside the point, and it's insulting to people of color. Srsly, before you give us all a bad name. Oh wait... Also, please go read On Feminism, Part 2. And all the comments.)
I need an editor. I actually hope she doesn't get one, because they'd probably clean up this post quite a bit and where's the fun in that?
Listen, Dammit. Awwwwww.

How to Make Chex Mix. No, this is not a recipe.
A little something for everyone this week, I think, in this weekly collection of well written, enjoyable posts.
ACDC moves me to say inappropriate stuff at The Daily Digress. Also, she has a Grass Cam. I look at her grass cam when I'm tired of looking at our grass, 'cause hers is nicer and I don't have to mow it.
Breaking The Chain at Suburban Scrawl. I really hope she actually did post this note at work. I like how #3 is labeled as mean but #4 is just fine.

Men who explain things. There are women who do this too, but oh wow is it annoying when it's a man doing it to you because you're a woman. And oh wow can this woman put words together.
Finally, I don't normally include things like this in Monday Morning Good Writing, mostly because journal articles are usually deadly dull. This one, however, is both wonderful and short: Public Expectations and Nonprofit Sector Realities: A Growing Divide with Disastrous Consequences (PDF). Here's my favorite line:
...efforts to prime the pump to create greater resources should not be confused as a substitute for sustained and meaningful discussions on how to bring about a more just society.
And with that, I leave you.
