Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 2 months ago@internrachel @julia1 I finished ‘The Heyday of Natural History’ by Lynn Barber, 320 pgs, last night. I vacillated between being completely amused and mildly off-put the entire book. First off it was hard to find this book! It was mentioned in the bibliography of a book I read earlier this summer and I decided I had to read it. But NYPL didn’t…[Read more]

Reading four consecutive books that are about the mid-late 19th century is affecting the way I speak and think, btdubs (well except for that..)

I want to read this so hard.

Autostraddle Summer Book Club 2011 12 years, 2 months ago@internrachel @julia1. Brave New Families by Judith Stacey, 328 pgs. The book is a ethnographic/sociological look at two “working-class” postmodern families in the mid- to late 80’s in Silicon Valley.

Singlestraddlers… Ready to Mingle! 12 years, 2 months ago
Hey! I’m a 22 yr old bklyn (pronounced booklyn) resident and guys, I’m psyched that it’s summer. I love eating outside, it is one of my top ten activities. I’m into museums in a big way, I love Martha Stewart and I’m addicted to Netflix instant view. I also like: dancing, beer, cats, the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens and tattoos.
I will also tell…[Read more]

This sounds really interesting. I’ve always been fascinated by taxidermy, which may be odd for a vegetarian, but still. I definitely want to check out the book.

not strange at all! all the taxidermists in the book are major animal lovers and, though i eat meat, i really like animals too. i think there’s a lot of respect towards animals in taxidermy, read it read it!
