Link Roundup: 2 May 2007

No news, because I wasn’t smart enough to flag any of it and I had to shut down Safari. That’s okay, though, it’s all the same depressing shit and Dubya power tripping as usual, just a different day.

EDIT: This post seems to have turned into a miniature carnival of its own. I hereby dub it Carnival of People Vox Admires Issue 1.

Carnivals
Carnival Against Sexual Violence #22

Erase Racism Carnival #12

Carnival of Feminists #37 (No, seriously, go read.)

History Carnival #52

Carnival of Education #117

The deadline for the Second Carnival for Creative Writing has been pushed back to May 11. If you want to submit something, now’s the time. (No crocuses/croci/whatever, though.)

Blog Links
Go check out BathArt at A Womyn’s Ecdysis: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. This is one of the coolest art projects I’ve ever seen, I think.

Also go check out BFP’s very cool series, “our history of protest”: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. Oh, and her post “we are all criminals.”

Sylvia has a TON of awesome articles up for May Day yesterday; here are a couple of the highlights, just because I can’t keep up with all of them! Sheer comedy; Commentary: Fear of foreigners drives immigration debate; These are the real criminals; The Migrant Trap and the Migrant’s Way Out; De-Unionization Hurts Women — Especially Latinas.

A really great entry from Ninotchka Rosca: “A Visible Invisibility“

“A good provider is one who leaves” by powerpolitics, about immigrant fathers, is also worth a read.

A few reasons that the Supreme Court decision against third-term abortions is a scary one: “Supreme Court? Supreme Problem” at RaceWire. Also check out this article on California’s problems with college prep and minorities by Menachem Krajcer.

“What’s Wrong with Educating Mexican Children in US Public Schools?” by Marisa Treviño is an interesting counterpoint to all of those hysterical articles about how “our tax dollars are educating them!”

“The sex of street and stage” by Fire Fly, about sexual harassment, is very much worth a read.

Petitpoussin’s “Sexual violence against indigenous women” is frightening, though.

Jenn at reappropriate talks about how women like Natasha Yi can undo weeks of APIA activism with just a few words in her entry “An Open Letter to Mrs. JV and Those Two Asian Girls on ‘The View’“
