The (Un)censorship Project
We get a lot of comments, email, and tweets that are laughable, painful, and laughably painful. Usually, we delete them, because as a vast government entity with an evil feminist ideology, censorship is, of course, our duty. But we’ve been feeling kind of bad about keeping these gems all to ourselves. Who are we to silence the sheer brilliance of…

VIDEO: Skepticism 101 Panel, #SkepchickCon
Here’s another informative and funny panel video and transcript from SkepchickCon, the science and skepticism track at CONvergence.

EVENTS! Sex, Science & Skepchicks
It’s true. We are leaving our super secret Skepchick Headquarters once again this month to venture out to events in Sacramento, Seattle, and Akron. (Way to ruin the alliteration, Akron.) UPDATE: It’s okay, Akron. Boulder has stepped in so you won’t feel so alone. I forgot about the Boulder Science Festival next weekend (Oct. 12 and 13), the one that…
