Quickies: Surly Amy Interview, the Sexual Politics of Veganism, and Tor Teams Up with Domestic Violence Shelters
Happy Limerick Day, everyone! If you have a favorite, please share it in the comments.
- “Atheist Art” Amy Davis Roth on Atheists Talk – Listen to the latest podcast featuring an interview with our own Surly Amy!
- Phineas Gage, Neuroscience’s Most Famous Patient – Each generation revises his myth. Here’s the true story.
- The Sexual Politics of Veganism – “This process works within the vegan movement as well, with an open embracing of veganism as inherently feminized and sexualized. This works to undermine a movement (that is comprised mostly of women) and repackage it for a patriarchal society. Instead of strong, political collective of women, we have yet another demographic of sexually available individual women who exist for male consumption.”
- As domestic abuse goes digital, shelters turn to counter-surveillance with Tor – With modern technology, we are more connected than ever, which can make it easier for abusers to have access to their victims. That’s why Tor has been teaming up with domestic abuse organizations.
From the bathing-machine came a din
As of jollification within;
It was heard far and wide
And the incomming tide
Had a definite flavor of gin.
(by Edward Gory)
There was a young lady named Bright
who traveled much faster than light.
She set out one day
in a relative way,
and came back the previous night.

The all-purpose Limerick:
There once was an X from place B
Who satisfied predicate P
The X did thing A
In a specified way
Resulting in circumstance C.
