Summer reading suggestions?

B-sides blog post by Amy S. Williams, July 31, 2008 - 5:55pm; tagged books, fiction, fun, reader ideas.

Anyone out there have summer reading suggestions for our on-line readers? Non-fiction and fiction....? graphic novels? essays? bring it all on. 

My gal, my son and I are heading out on a roadtrip this Sunday to a little cabin in Montana for a week of reading and relaxing and I would love to take a stack of reader suggested books with me, as I am sure many of us would. Then maybe we could write reviews and post them to this post as comments?

Keep those book ideas coming. Everyone should have (and have access to) a good book on their nightstand.

When is enough, enough?

B-sides blog post by Amy S. Williams, July 30, 2008 - 2:54pm; tagged donors, grassroots, greed, growth, non-profits, philanthropy.

Over the past year at B-Word/Bitch we have been talking about growing. And doing some growing, too. But within these discussions there are some fundamental questions that not just B-Word contends with, but many, if not most, non-profits.

When is enough, enough? 

When have we grown enough? How do we stay grassroots and evolve? When is the evolution over?

Attention artists and makers of things!

sm[art] blog post by Briar Levit, July 28, 2008 - 11:15am; tagged art auction, donation, sm[art].

Now is the time when I ask all you 'makers' to support Bitch by donating one of your pieces to our annual fundraising art auction. This year promises to be as good (if not better) than last year!

What past Bitch articles do you want to see online?

Bitch on Wheels blog post by Debbie Rasmussen, July 24, 2008 - 1:12pm; tagged articles, bitch magazine, internet etiquette, music, Prince.

One of the people hard at work behind the scenes here is Kyla Wagener, AKA Bitch webmonkey.  I'm sharing this for two reasons. First because Kyla recently started her own blog. She's wicked smart. You should read it.

I also share this because in her role as webmonkey, Kyla's wrangling all the content from past issues to be posted here. Our plan is to make available all content from issues that are sold out, and selected content from issues that are still available for purchase (get them while they last!).

Visiting Portland!

Delightfully Cranky blog post by Lisa Jervis, July 24, 2008 - 12:38pm; tagged on the road, Portland.

I'm up in Portland this week, visiting Debbie and hanging out at the Bitch office. I haven't been here in about a year, and it's amazing to see how bustling the office is—with interns and volunteers and new staffers (hi, Brian!)—while maintaining a relatively unfrenzied vibe, even though it's the middle of production on a new issue. This kind of calm, um, was never really achieved when I was working here. I'm going to try not to read anything into that.

A Bitch Pitch

B-sides blog post by Amy S. Williams, July 23, 2008 - 5:42pm; tagged donor, fan mail, fundraising, philanthropy, why support us.

I was about a month into my job at Bitch and seeking meetings with many who are closest to B-Word's heart. I had the pleasure of meeting the individual who wrote this pitch about a year ago in a Seattle coffeeshop. Her words have blown us away and got us thinking about raising money and the values around procuring donations, sponsorship, planning events/fundraisers and grant funding and different ways to get folks engaged enough in our work to make a contribution.

A moment of silence, please...

Love / Shove blog post by Andi Zeisler, July 22, 2008 - 2:53pm; tagged celebrities, nostalgia, tv.


...for Estelle Getty — also known as the Golden Girls' Sophia Petrillo — who died today at age 84. Though her shoes were undoubtedly tiny, has any sitcom actress really filled them since? That's a rhetorical question, by the way, since each and every one of those smartypantssuited retirees kicked ass, but today's about Sophia. So share your favorite "Picture It: Sicily, 1912..." moments in the comments section, why don'tcha?

Sisterhood of Muslim female MCs and singers

sm[art] blog post by Briar Levit, July 21, 2008 - 2:00pm; tagged hip hop, Islam, music, musician, muslim, rap.

I just happened to stumble upon this inspiring musical project spearheaded by singer, Deeyah (often referred to as the 'Muslim Madonna'), today. She describes it as this:

'Sisterhood' is the collective name for a mixtape project of previously unreleased songs written by young up and coming female Muslim rappers, singers and poetesses from the UK, Europe and US.
