Interactive Blogging: Check out a Movie Trailer & Vote for the Next Bookie Post

I just saw an amazing movie on campus in conjunction with a slew of different departments. I was completely blown away and am recommending the film to everyone I see. While I hate making broad sweeping statements, for brevity purposes, let me just say that it was not only an amazing insight into how our society continues to confine those with autism, despite the ability of many to display high levels of intelligence, but also as just a really lovely film. Here's the trailer:

I was also wondering what your thoughts are on what I should blog about next. I know I've been so neglectful, but that's only because I am working on so many projects and new things that are all very exciting. (Ah, once again I'm making excuses.) So, please take my poll below from now until Wednesday, October 26th, so that I can best optimize my time for your benefit, and bring you what you would like to read about most. See you back here with your chosen post on Wednesday, Nov. 2nd!

International Women's Day


‘Give us a dignified life.’ From: Jesusa in Bolivia/HelpAge International

So it's Fat Tuesday and International Women's Day.  What to celebrate. Hmmm. WOMEN. I stumbled over this photo album in development on The Guardian website. The photos are, "With the recent launch of UN Women (24th February), and the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day (8th March), [they're] collecting messages to and from the world's women on the issues that matter most." I love that the first pic is a Bolivian Chola, so I had to post this! The Guardian has a great list of the Top 100 Women which is addicting to journey through. I really liked the lists for Art and Film and Writing and Academia. Great stuff! Enjoy!
