Announcing the #TimesTen Raffle: Win a dinner with the founders of Feministing!

If you’re a regular reader of the site, you probably know by now that we are raising money to fund a relaunch of Feministing, including a site redesign and sustainable infrastructure.

And to that end, some pretty great news: with 16 days left in our Kickstarter, and thanks to the efforts of over 650 backers, we’ve raised over $28,000 — that’s 93% of our goal!

I relearned while I hammered away at writing for the last 6 weeks, writing a book takes a lot of focus and patience, two things that can often be hard to come by with the chaos of (my) life. But progress has been made (slowly) and I am happy to get back into the groove of blogging. Bear with me as I delve back into the news cycle and reacquaint myself with this world again. I am feeling bizarrely out of practice!

I want to start Monday with a few thank yous. ...
