What We Missed

In case it was not already wildly obvious, I am a Harry Potter nerd. I am also a fan of the It Gets Better project. Which is why I love this video.

Australian painter Margaret Olley, one of the world’s foremost woman artists, has died.

Rep. David Wu, the Democratic congressman from Oregon who was accused last week of raping the daughter of a longtime friend and campaign contributor, resigned today.

Raped, framed by her rapist, and wrongly incarcerated. There is literally nothing that isn’t appalling about this story.

Two days after New York State granted its first marriage licenses to same sex couples, anti-SSM groups have filed a suit to have the law overturned.

At Feministe, a reminder that abortion isn’t as freely available in Australia as some Australians (myself included) like to think.

**Trigger warning** At Scarleteen, Heather Corinna writes about what the SlutWalk movement means to her, as a rape survivor.
