politits, unglued, sex in the dehli, and ajuka!

my two favorite blogs at the moment are written by a woman who goes by "dcup" on both of her sites.

politits, the first blog i stumbled upon by dcup are her hilarious sweet-potato-queens-meets-rachel maddow reactions to current political issues. dcup in both intelligent and hilarious fashion attacks the issue of being both sexy and political...two traits that are historically and popularly thought to be mutually exclusive (for women). with posts such as "can't keep my boobs or my opinions to myself" and "the liberal feminists guide to being a good girl, take one," which begins with:

"Yesterday I asked you to get my back if I got caught doing subversive things. I was out promoting a liberal feminist agenda that is poised to bring down all of Western Society. It might upset some apple carts and get some knickers in twists, as well..."

dcup's other blog, unglued, chronicles her life at home with her family - mathman, her husband, and her children the dancer, the actor, and the spawn. everything from the challenges of the college admissions process to hiding a healthy sex life from young children is here in dcup's witty blog.

i've also added a couple of links to some other blogs i'm following these days on the right-hand navigation of this page. sex in the delhi! about a family friends' sister's journalism assignment to india and her studies of traditional indian dance, and ajuka!, written by an amherst college alum (yeah pioneer valley!) who, as a white jewish male, has begun to devote his life to african dance.

happy reading!
