Hey Bitchmedia!
The link to the article titled "Feministing piece has a piece on the yes-it's-real douchebaggery of the Pennsylvania State Liquor Control Board's new victim-blaming ad campaign." goes to the webpage for the article right above it, "A British psychological study argues that people can't discriminate between language used in pornography magazines and language used by sex offenders." It points to "http://www.mdx.ac.uk/aboutus/news-events/news/mags.aspx" instead of whatever it should be for the Pennsylvania story!
On It!

<p>An astute Facebook commenter noted that Gael García Bernal signed a petition demanding freedom for Roman Polanski, director and child rapist. It's sad to know that Feminist Gael García Bernal isn't true like my heart wants it to be, but FGGB will live on in Tumblr for eternity, or at least for five minutes until the next Femi-meme. I'm waiting for Feminist Burt Reynolds, personally.</p>
Thank You for the Shout Out

I just saw this and it's made my Sunday morning. Thank you so much, Bitch Magazine, for including my queer afrofeminist review of Pariah in your link roundup! So honored! :)
