Are you still looking for a last-minute Christmas (or generalholiday) gift to give that special someone? How about a subscription toBitch? It's sure to please even the pickiest people on your giftlist. Just click on the winky drag king snowman (you don't read thatphrase everyday) in the upper right corner of the website, or click here to get started.
Another way to give the gift of Bitch is to send the subscription link on to those people who are still looking to put a gift under the tree for you! Why not email your Aunt Sally a link to Bitch and let her know what you'd really like for Christmas? No more fruitcake this year!
Also, don't forget that the latest issue of Bitch, Noir, is on newsstands now! Click on the "Latest Issue"link for a sneak peek. Makes a great stocking stuffer! (And don'tforget to get one for yourself too! You deserve it after all the hardwork you've done.)

Here at B-Word/Bitch, we're looking for someone with super sharp organizational/fund development talents and skills to join our small staff... someone with a passion for nonprofit, noncommercial, feminist media rooted in social/economic justice... someone eager to incorporate new forms of media and networking into our fundraising and strategic planning efforts... someone who believes that nonprofits can grow without compromising the radical values upon which they were founded...
This fall, we asked for your help and you told us overwhelmingly that Bitch was a worthy investment. In four weeks we received $74,000 in gifts from loyal readers like you. Without your generous support, we would not be here today. •
And thanks to you, we are moving forward with renewed purpose and inspiration. As we look to the future, we see clearly that you, our supporters, are the key to sustaining Bitch. Because Bitch is nonprofit, noncommercial media, your contributions are what allow us to create content that meets YOUR needs - smart, uncompromising feminist cultural critique.
• That's why we're asking you to support our work by joining the B-Hive, our sustaining membership program. By contributing a gift of $5 or more monthly, you will help shape our future by allowing us to budget and plan more efficiently. It's easy to sign up - simply visit our secure online giving site.
We're thrilled to announce that just three short days after our announcement that we need to raise $40,000 by October 15th in order to print the next issue of Bitch, you've rallied together and propelled us beyond our $40,000 fundraising goal. In fact, by the time we looked up from our computers, you'd already donated $46,000! On top of that, you've spread the word far and wide, and offered powerful and inspiring words of support.
This tremendous and swift outpouring has been honoring and humbling—particularly because you've offered it during the worst days the U.S. economy has seen this year. Thank you. We're deeply grateful.
Please help us keep the momentum going and continue donating and offering your feedback and ideas. We know many of you have ideas and concerns about Bitch's future and sustainability, and we're grateful for the critical feedback and ideas you've offered so far. We're listening. And we assure you we're hard at work on a sustainable vision, based on your feedback (and we're at work on a survey to help facilitate this process).
