I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: if you aren’t already reading feministe, you should. And if you’re reading this blog already, then you may be interested to know that while Ms. Lauren takes some much-deserved rest from blogging, I am once again filling in as a guest writer at feministe. (I did a couple of posts’ worth of this back in June.) Enjoy:

• feministe 2005/02/02: Bombing for Choice, which is a lot like GT 2005/02/01: Bombing for Choice, except somewhere else.
• feministe 2005/02/02: Free Rodi Alvarado and all political prisoners!, an update on the bureaucratic logjam at La Migra that is holding a battered woman in legal limbo while it dithers over whether or not to send her back to an almost-certain death
• feministe 2005/02/05: Trans In Iran, highlighting a fascinating story from the Los Angeles Times on the growing acceptance of transgender people in Iran, of all places, and how a fatwa of Ayatollah Khomeini, of all people, spurred it on. Some pointed questions follow from me and I hope some discussion ensues.
