Personal and Political Issues is a feminist forum i started a few years ago, which has been kept up by some other great women since then. It's one Delphi and it's open for women and girls to discuss a variety of issues.
The DC Indymedia Center is a place where I used to write some articles on activism. Indymedia is a great resource for alternative, do-it-yourself news, particularly on activist issues, and was started in relation to the antiglobalization movement. There are indymedia centers worldwide.
"You Don't Look Sick" is an article I wrote a couple of years ago that was published in the feminist journal Off Our Backs did an issue on women with disabilities.
Fifty Ways to Prevent Yourself from Being a Rapist is something i'm adding here, not that i've found one of the laces it was reposted after i wrote it.......i got a ton of emails about that post
I've written other such articles, and better versions of this one. But this is the only one I could easily find that is still online. It pertains to life with a chronic, "invisible", physical illness, the limitations therein and the social stigmas related.
Feminist Issues for Women and Girls was a website on a variety of issues cultural, political, artistic, and others...which is no longer online. Sick Chicks and Twisted Sisters is a site I created and maintained with help from old friends Lauren and Sara; it is also no longer online and the associated support group email lists we ran are not either. I have tried to get some of our writing from Homestead, the hosting company which took the site down when the bill was not paid, and I regret deeply that this site is now completely gone, so far as I can tell, thanks to their policies, after years of work (and a lot of work) were put into maintaining a huge collection of resources and links, as well as original writing from a variety of contributors. This is unfortunate, but when you're barely able to keep a roof over your head and you have no computer, it's hard to maintain websites, even if they used to be the biggest thing in your life.
There are a few other places online I've written articles, like women's issues at Suite101, and some other places I don't remember myself, and some sites that have republished things I've written, like, for instance on article on ways to prevent yourself from becoming a rapist was reprinted on a bunch of people's pages, but i don't know where.
I'll put up another post with some favorite sites of mine......this one was just to list some personal things.
Adding this another day, i found some more stuff from my old website (womensstudies.homestead.com) that was reposted other places:
