Back from Skepticon and still trying to catch up! Fun was had by all, mostly because of the onstage talks and offstage conversations, but there was a very exciting incident that also happened during the conference. 

I'm leaving for Missouri late this afternoon for Skepticon, but until then, I'm totally down to Panda Party. For a lot of us, it's been an emotionally wrenching week as things escalate with Occupy Wall St., so we need to listen to some tunes and have a little Friday fun to get ready for the weekend more than ever. So hop on in to Panda Party. In honor of my trip to Missouri, a song by St. Louis native Ann Peebles:

Hey, feminist, skeptics, atheists! Or feminist skeptic atheists, and their allies. If you want something fun and amazing to do in November, check out Skepticon. It's awesome in general, because not only are they about promoting science and skepticism, they tend to hang out the atheist flag as well. And not only that, they've invited me to speak this year about the intersection of feminism and atheism---how religion is used to oppress women, and why atheism activism and the promotion of critical thinking help feminism. And how we can do a better job of it, of course.
