Peace Unfolds
Today is Memorial Day in the United States, a holiday designated for the remembrance of those lost in time of war. But on this day, Jessica and I can’t help but extend our thoughts to others as well, in the spirit of peace. Today our eyes and hearts are trained on the far shores of…

Goosed!
Holy flying gaggles, but we upped the ante this year! I don’t know if it was the gorgeous sunshine that graced us after literally months of dreary rain— —or Sweet Pea’s extra-awesome 2011 poncho— but this year’s Wayzgoose was larger than life.

Warning Signs
In honor of Black History Month, and of the might of the written word, our newest Dead Feminist is powerhouse poet Gwendolyn Brooks. Without further ado, I’ll hand over my pen to her: Reading is important. Read between the lines. Don’t swallow everything. I guess we’re done with the knitting needles and home canning for…

Get Handy
Maybe it’s the changing seasons. Or the fact that the farmers market runneth over with delicious autumn goodies. Or maybe we just wanted to talk about something that made us smile, for a change—because this time, for our tenth Dead Feminist broadside, Jessica and I have turned to a subject somewhat lighter of heart.

Fabric Feminists, part two
By now you’ve figured out that I have a thing for stitched lettering; and since I’ve already rambled on ad nauseum in the last post, I can keep this one a little shorter. And anyway, I somehow neglected to take any process photos for two of these. Oops. The knitted broadside was such a success…

Fabric Feminists, part one
While I’ve been hiding away, wrangling my 900-pound gorilla, Jessica has been cooking up something pretty great.

Feminist Wiles: Jessica Spring and Chandler O’Leary Now through November 5 Ted Sanford Gallery, Charles Wright…
