ruthcurry:
I have had too much fun creating this No More Nice Girls-inspired playlist. Ellen Willis for sure had her own opinions about music, so this is in no way trying to speculate as to what she would have or would not have liked (except for the Janis...

NOT MAD OR ANYTHING.
good:
The finalists for best magazine writing of the year were announced today by the American Society of Magazine Editors.

Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead teaches you pretty much everything you need to know about minimum-raging, and about life in general (key to happiness: find a Rose Lindsay).

This House Panel on Birth Control Consists...
good:
The GOP’s explanation: The fight over birth control coverage mandates is “not about women.” It’s about “religious liberties.”
