Wendy wrote a new blog post: A familiar fear: Why cycling is sometimes like existing as a woman* in a misogynist culture 9 months, 3 weeks ago · View
A SYTYCB entry Every time I ride my bike legally centerlane through south Seattle I find myself, without fail, afraid. This fear strikes my body in a familiar places and ways.

A SYTYCB entry
“it’s our job (for now) to be easily integrated into an all-male team, nonthreatening, and hyperskilled”
This quotes from an outline for session offered by Lady Coders previously titled “Men Are Not the Enemy.” Since the following concerns have been raised the session’s title has changed. Unfortunately much of the original copy still remains with an added aftertaste [...]

they are sorta pricy and if you can find a cheaper & similar site you’re welcome use that instead. I asked the friends I handed them out to for donations to offset the cost which covered about 1/2 the expense. -

I started this project up & y’all can easily get involved by ordering your own stickers for defacing these deceptive ads. Here’s a link to the sticker template: http://www.makestickers.com/customize.aspx?TID=5836&DN=120601223000&OID=1020391&cid=qtjtyxsu0lndnudwchpgrhhm&Referrer=OrderSummary.aspx%3Fordernum%3D10446376%26cid%3Dqtjtyxsu0lndnudwchpgrhhm (remember to replace the # with your local Planned Parenthood’s #). Pass them out to all your bus pro-choice bus-commuting buds! This poem was my inspiration [...]
