The "amazed, appalled, and inspired" edition.
On the "doing something about my slacking tip," notes from the Feminism & Hip Hop Conference over at Julianne's. From that post, I discovered the Hip Hop Feminist e-group and got a reason to put back on my critical thinking cap with an anthology seeking some submissions. At the same time, I see Lynne sending a shout out (and challenge) to the Blogher conference in July. Did I forget to send my own cyber shout to Black Feminism.org? Consider that rectified. And now I just need to get my shit together and actually go to a Blogging Sheroes meeting.
I've said many times before that my nabe blog is amazing -- a happy hour with prizes this Thursday (my idea!) should be a blast -- but such interesting community bonding is going on over there. Collectively the readers/posters managed to identify this guy running a scam on Brooklyn people for seemingly years. Check out the whole story here and here.
Apparently sending cops after bratty kids is the way things get done in FL. An especially fucked up incident (don't forget to watch those videos) [via ILE where the discussion was erm, interesting.]
Someone give this bitch a summer internship! We're running a bit low on the entitled asshole quota here in town and I think she'd do wonders for our supply.
First of all, what does an editorial intern coordinator have to do with the production schedule of a magazine? I read SPIN a lot, and have seen this man's name under a few minor album reviews. Nothing that would delay anyone's schedule. I had gotten a lame excuse for his procrastination, and he obviously didn't take my inquiry seriously.Good luck on that career, honey. The way things work, she might be cracking an editorial whip before I will though.

When he didn't reply, I asked again. I wasn't mean or rude, just to-the-point. If he didn't have time to answer my first question, he wouldn't have time to read any unnecessary formalities. I had a question, and I wanted an answer. That's all.
haha, i love the part where she starts telling everyone she's moving to NYC before she even heard from SPIN.
You should look on the brighter side of things--having "competition" like that just makes life easier.
Oh, I was being pretty tongue in cheek. She's a jackass that's easy to mock.
