The Beach Is Back...

Femmes courant sur le plage... Gentle readers, posting will be light for the next few days as the five of us again adjourn en masse—with dudes and dawgs in tow—to the Harpy Beach House. Things we will be doing instead of posting: * Grilling * Reading * Porch-sitting * ‘Smores-making *...

DUM dum da-dum…...

DUM dum da-dum I hope these frogs sprang (snerk) for an open bar. DUM da da-DEE La-da-dee da-DUM da-DUMMMMMMM. I’m out, friends.  Sister Dude is gettin’ hitched this weekend, so it’s off to Illinois until Monday. I shall endeavor to get the FFT posted, but I will sadly not be around...

Go West, Young Dork!...

I will definitely be checking out the Public Library. Via deVos @ Flickr I had a mostly restful July 4th weekend (but oy, the heat!), and now I’m on the cusp of an adventure.  The Dude is active in his union, and so we are off to said union’s big convention.  So, during the...

“New Contributor” Says, R...

Via icanhazcheeseburger. I’m going to be writing here for a while. Anyway, hi!  I’ve done some other writing you might like to check out, though some of it is old! See here! Or here! Lovely to “make your acquaintance.”

Ahoy-hoy!...

Hi, everyone! MamaDork went home last night after a very good time together.  However, as exposure to my non-New York/blogging/feminist life always does, the visit brought up a number of quandries and queries, which I’ll be spinning into a few posts this week. I have a little bit of non-Mom life...

Correction and Apology...

Good morning, all. Before we get on with your regularly scheduled shrieking, I need to offer a public apology to Randy Cohen of the New York Times. Yesterday, I clumsily misattributed a letter and response to his column, The Ethicist.  I was wrong; the letter was found in Social Qs, written by Philip...

Meet Me in St. Louis...

I'll be here, roughly. Just a quick note to let y’all know that I will be in absentia the next few days.  I’m leaving early Wednesday morning for the National Popular Culture/American Culture Association’s annual conference, which is always schedule right before Easter weekend. ...

We Now Return You To Your Regularly Sche...

Hey there, everybody! I had to unplug for the last week in order to meet a big ol’ deadline, and a few other biggish, ol’-ish ones, too.  It was a spectactularly sucky week, and not just because I had a lot of hard work to do; I missed being part of the conversations here.  And although...

“And by ‘ladies,’ of c...

Just don't add anything to the punch. We don't all drink here. Via Courtney_Walden @ Flickr Perhaps because of the new FB page, or perhaps because of the recent series of eclipses, who knows, we’ve had a minor influx of new posters; quite a few of them men. While we welcome male allies,...

O Hai. We’re on Facebook Now....

Y’all come on by and visit our brand-spanking new Pursuit of Harpyness page. The page is open, and will continue to be so unless we have troll problems. Meet, mingle, have discussions, friend the various Harpies individually. Feel free to use Facebook to send us tips, ask questions, throw out discussion...

Harpy Thanksgiving, Y’all!...

We all have so much to be thankful for–including pies like this one–that we’re devoting the next couple days to celebrating Thanksgiving with our friends and family. Posting will be light, but we’ll be back next week! Among our many blessings, we’re thankful for such awesome...

Blogular Status Update...

Umm, apparently we have been hacked!  In a rather benign way, but still, it makes us subject to certain web filters.  We are working on amending this, but in the meantime!  If I delete your registered commenter account, apologies.  It’s just to try and eliminate any hacker backdoors.
