Hey APW,
It’s a short week, but it’s been nuts over here at APW. I took a week off book writing to get some new features launched, which should be coming at you early next week… wheee!
Also file under “it’s been crazy” the staff surfaced from January and realized we’d forgotten to discuss our book club pick, Bad Feminist. So if, like us, you lost your copy under a pile of post holiday papers, dig it out! We’ll be discussing it March 4!
Till then, your open thread, and a particularly awesome list of links.
cheers,
Meg
P.S. OSCAR WEEKEND! It’s our family’s personal holiday. And yes, as of last night we’ve watched all of the picks, even with a toddler. HIGH FIVE!
