Okay, this posting is going to be a not-so-quick recap of stuff I want to keep track of for my yard work, and I’ll keep adding to it as I learn more stuff to do. I’ll work more on the compost idea later; for now, some very useful URLs: the National Wildlife Federation’s Garden for…
Susan Griffin’s ecofeminist book Woman & Nature: The Roaring Inside Her is considered ground-breaking in the field. Written in 1978 in a poetic and then-uniquely female “voice,” it was one of the first — if not the actual first — text which traced a clear textual-historical connection between patriarchal use/abuse, and conflation, of women and…
Here are the handful of photos I took of my “Place in Nature” for my Ecofeminism independent study class: my front yard before I’ve tried to make it any healthier. I’ll post more photos as things get better! ;)
Later edit: I’ve been informed I wasn’t clear regarding this posting — sorry!

I’m writing this as I’m heading home on BART from the one class I had/chose to take in this year’s CIIS Intensive. It’s kind of a huge relief that I didn’t have to take all the Intensive classes this year, which requires spending a week and a half again in San Francisco. This was far…
Blerg. Upcoming school weirdness is distracting. That plus some unpleasant news sort of ate the creative part of my brain for a bit. Back now, however, and feeling much better after a good night’s sleep and a nice breakfast of scrambled eggs with blue cheese — rather tasty and interesting flavor from that! It’s a…

Enjoy! :) Arcosanti was designed in the 70’s by Paolo Soleri, who dreamed of ecologically friendly cities. His soaring design precludes cars, integrates multiple levels…
