As always, The Skim is a curated weekly round-up of links, podcasts, videos, and/or books. I missed two weeks. I hang my head in shame that I neglected my blog for so long, but it was for the greater good. Now, I have a ton of things to post.
This week, I am all about sexy time (or as Feminista Jones said on Twitter yesterday, “the freaknasty”), being productive with some assorted balderdash thrown in.
Sexy Time Thangs:
Funk N Beans: Shameless sex and gender
My Sex Professor: It’s not okay to judge consensual sex acts
Smut for Smarties: Communicating your sexual desires
Podcast — TWiB! After Dark (a sex-positive, progressive show hosted by Feminista Jones and N’Jaila Rhee)
Getting Thangs Done (aka Being Productive):
Vitae: Reverse Day Planning (or Where does the day go?)
Writing is My Drink: Once upon a block–How I got through my worst block ever (with a great link to Virginia Valian’s essay “Learning to Work” from Working It Out: 23 Women Writers, Artists, Scientists, and Scholars Talk About Their Lives and Work)
Assorted Balderdash
The Daily Beast: Inside China’s mistress industrial complex
From the Square: Rethinking Black History Month
Code Switch: How I learned to feel undesirable
Speak Write Love: A tarot reading for the month of February
