I've had a stressed and not entirely pleasant week, but with a few high points. Including bumping into, and hearing from, several people who I thought were totally lost from my life years ago. So, so good.
Things to read:
Maggie O'Kane investigates violence against prostitutes - while I don't agree necessarily with her conclusions, she tells us some useful and disturbing facts, figures and information.
Marksman called in to kill Kingston's Pigeons - not for the article itself (fascinating though it is), but for the most fabulous string of comments below. Love it.
Ministers deny it, but the truth is out there my Mary O'Hara, about the cuts to mental health services, and how they have been disproportionately affected.
Things to see:
150 worst album covers, discovered thanks to slow afternoon.
Special mention to Heino, there.
The 29th Carnival of Feminists - many amazing links to follow and new women's writing to discover.
About U - free online courses.
30 essential pieces of free and open software for windows.
National Drunk Blogging Day 'because there's a day for every single thing else'
PornFest let's keep it in the news!
Newly discovered blogs:
The Shouty Woman.
FeminisTIC, a bilingual (French - English) feminist blog.
Comment is Free: Julie Bindel - not entirely strictly a blog, and I don't agree with all she says and does, but some good stuff there.
Dead Men Don't Rape - a blog which has already caused controversy with its very name. Pippi explains the name. My comments on it are there and hopefully there, should that second one get approved.

I only get the playlist, not the individual tracks ... the only song I've got in common with you is Geneve by John Otway.
Have a lovely, peaceful holiday!kv
Thanks Neil. Happy holiday to you too!
I know where I went wrong with the playlist now, my brother in law kindly explained what I'd needed to do! Ah well.
