The Klan in Oregon which started in the 1920s did have some “necktie parties” (where they put a noose on a person but then last minute let them go), burned crosses, marched frequently and passed some anti-Catholic legislation, which was mostly overturned or never implemented. But there were never any actual lynchings…

Oregon finally passed the ERA in 2014 by an overwhelming margin. So at least she got to see that happen. (The state recognized women having equal protection due to judicial precedence, but it wasn’t in the constitution.) So that makes 22 states that have some form of the ERA in their state constitutions now.

In one of the national parks in Washington, there’s a trail where several miles up at the end viewpoint, there’s an open air toilet. It’s a little ways up a side trail and hidden from the viewpoint by a bunch of hedges and trees, but otherwise you’re just out there in the open: no doors, walls or roof. Just you on a…

I don’t know if this is what you’re looking for, but there’s an organization called Women on Waves/Women on Web who provide abortion help to women in countries that ban abortions (there was a documentary last year about them called Vessel). They’ve got info about the pills they use, how to get them and how to handle…

In the Pacific Northwest, we’ve got coffee drive-through places called Bikini Barista—where it’s just like it sounds, the baristas wear nothing but bikinis, no matter the weather. (I’ve always wondered if that isn’t a hazard to have nothing between you and hot coffee spills.) A reporter for the Willamette Week did an…

That site is actually a parody of ultra-conservative type of Mormons. (I was Mormon for 38 years. Although I’m sure there might be some in Utah that wear those longer swim dresses, no Mormon woman I know wears anything but regular swimsuits.)

But it’s totally different concept—see, it’s an ancient QUEEN who awakens and unleashes evil. I guess one thing they have going for it is that the ancient queen will actually played by a north African actress....except most of the other main actors seem to be white.

Maybe not mainstream liberal media, but you could point them towards Ms Magazine, who featured Kim Rhode in their roundup of women at the Olympics.

Majlinda Kelmendi won Kosovo’s first gold medal in any event in judo. And Ruth Jebet won Bahrain’s first gold in any event in the 3000m steeplechase. Rafaela Silva won Brazil’s first gold medal at this games in judo. Almaz Ayana from Ethiopia smashed both the WR and OR in the 10,000m. Dalilah Muhummad was the first US…

B!tch magazine had an interview with Katrina Karkazis, who has been a witness in Chand’s case, apparently the IAAF has performed medically unnecessary surgeries on 4 women from “developing countries to lower their T so that they could remain eligible. Alarmingly, they also performed clitoral reduction surgery.”

In most states with a sales tax, they usually don’t tax items that are considered medically necessary or else will tax them at a lower rate than other so-called luxury items. The FDA considers tampons/pads to be medical devices, so if a state is tax-exempting other medical devices, tampons/pads should be included.…

4 states don’t have sales tax, so there’s no need for a separate law: Delaware, Montana, Oregon and New Hampshire. (Alaska is kind of a fifth—it has no state level sales tax, but it allows cities to impose their own local sales tax, since the cost of importing goods to the remote places varies so much.)

There have literally only been 6 black women on the U.S. Olympics gymnastics team since the games began (and 1 more if you count the team that would have competed in 1980 had the U.S. not boycotted). God, how on earth is anyone else supposed to cope with such a overwhelming onslaught?

Tyrese got divorced last year—there were reports of abuse for years (she called the cops on him at least once while she was pregnant and said he had punched her several times, but then walked that back) but since the divorce, his ex-wife has been saying he was indeed abusive.

Even worse is that was the second time. In 2014 she failed a drug test, was suspended for 16 months and stripped of the medals and records she had won in 2013. When she failed a drug test again this year, the drug she tested for had just barely been put on the ban list; but that result was put on hold while WADA does…

Jennifer Lee isn’t a woman of color though. Jennifer Yuh Nelson is.

She’s the first to direct a live action film with that budget. But Jennifer Yuh Nelson (Kung Fu Panda 2 & 3) had budgets of $150 million for her animated films.
