Posting will be slower over the next week while the Feministing crew takes some much needed vacation time (read: works on behind-the-scenes projects we never have the time for). There will still be plenty of reason to check out the blog, though. Look for the Feministing Five coming tomorrow, and all next week members of the crew will be highlighting some of our fave writing in the Feministing Year in Review.

Merry Happy!
