1 paper done.

Onto “Women Race and Class” by Angela Davis. Then, “The Queer Sixties” by Patricia Juliana Smith. I’m a critique machine, baby.

Got some light reading to do too, which I’ll address under separate cover.

Writing this paper:

Kim E. Nielsen’s “Un-American Womanhood: Antiradicalism, Antifeminism, and the First Red Scare” is a detailed look at how two coalitions of women’s organizations faced off over a variety of social issues in the 1920s. The author’s argument is that the tactics and principles of antiradical and antifeminist organizations not only helped to derail the progressive momentum that the suffrage movement had developed leading up to the establishment of women’s suffrage in 1920, but that those tactics have served as a blueprint for the methods of today’s socially conservative activism.

Well, that and juggling fire.

i need to take another vicodin.

for all my joking about it presurgery, i really hate to take pain meds. i did it recreationally for so long that i find myself needing far more than is usually prescribed, and thus I end up perpetuating the pain longer than necessary.

but this is different, and i have to get used to that.

i hate not being in control of yet another aspect of how i feel.
