Pack Rat Magazine is people!!

If you are in the Wisconsin area on May 17th and 18th, take a trip to Milwaukee for Bitchcraft, the arts/crafts/feminism extravaganza brought to you by Bitch magazine.  Here’s the blurb that sold me:

“Bitchcraft, a weekend of music, arts, crafts, and words will take place Saturday, May 17–Sunday, May 18. All events are free—donations are very much encouraged (and appreciated!) and benefit the nonprofit project you know and love as B-Word/Bitch.

Bitchcraft kicks off Saturday, May 17, 5–8 p.m., at Woodland Pattern Book Center, 720 E. Locust St., with performances by singer-songwriters Heidi Spencer and Stephanie Rearick; a sneak preview of “Devotion to Thread,” an exhibit curated by Faythe Levine; and some brief comments from me about what we’re up to at Bitch! 

Part two of Bitchcraft takes place Sunday, May 18, 4–5:30 pm. I’ll facilitate a special session of the Femiknits discussion group—open to non-knitters!—at Broad Vocabulary Bookstore, 2241 S. Kinnickinnic Ave. Our discussion will focus on the ways in which feminism can be re-imagined in our communities. Even if you don’t knit, please come and share your ideas, stories, and struggles. “

Pack Rat Magazine can’t buy you love.

This…is a silly blog. Or rather, this post is about a silly website. You’ll notice that it is uncategorized, because I had no idea what to put this under. And really, today’s recommended website has nothing to do with crafts or saving money or art or anything. But it amuses the underpants off me. It’s called This Peanut Looks Like A Duck and it’s dedicated to photos of everyday things that, well, look like ducks. Maybe I’ll be alone in enjoying this one, but for me, I’ve always found it fun to see stuff in other stuff. Here are two good samples, one of the eponymous peanut that looks like a duck, and the other titled “this fetus looks like a duck.”
