The Middle East’s Feminist Revolution →
texnessa:
The role of women in the great upheaval in the Middle East has been woefully under-analyzed. Women in Egypt did not just “join” the protests – they were a leading force behind the cultural evolution that made the protests inevitable.

lubadub replied to your post: happy monday, tumblr - i’ve missed you.
I spent all of last week laid up too. Dayquil and nyquil make the world FAR more interesting. And funny. Glad you’re feeling better, Doodle!

happy monday, tumblr - i've missed you.
this past week i’ve been so sick i haven’t had any booze, caffeine, or real food that’s not soup. today, however, i’m finally making a comeback.
even though i’m only at about 50%, i still feel so much better than last week that in my cold-med-induced delirium i think i might just conquer the world today. who’s with me?

Hundreds have died in the name of democracy, in the name of freedom, today alone.
Hundreds will die tomorrow. The next day. The day after that.

China. South Korea. In every country dictated by an authoritarian government.
The people are speaking and they are speaking LOUD.

In search of an iPhone/web recipe app...
Here’s what I want:
enter my own recipes from web
generate shopping lists from selected recipes

I bought grocery gadget a while ago - but the recipe part of it is a little too contrived for me to fully commit. I remember reading about one that sounded great - but can’t remember the name of it. Anyone got any recommendations? Anyone?
