Skepchick is auctioning off a pink Nintendo DS Lite and exclusive t-shirt to help raise funds for scholarships to the James Randi Educational Foundation's The Amazing Meeting. All the money will go to JREF, plus every girl geek (or pink-partial guy geek) could use DS Lite and a one-of-kind Skepchick shirt. Read the details here.
Are you into hot, smart, critically-thinking girls? Then maybe you should make a short video about how awesome Skepchick is and win some prizes. The lovelies Elyse and Jill dish the details in the video below.
Donna at Memoirs of a Skepchick hosted a reading last month of Full Frontal Feminism, a guide to feminism for young women by Feministing editor Jessica Valenti - and Jessica kindly answered some of Donna's questions for a post at Skepchick. Worthwhile reading, mostly for Donna's described ambivalence about some elements of the book (I felt the same way), and her definition of what the intersection of skepticism and feminism is all about.
Almost forgot - my post over at Skepchick yesterday:
Originally posted at Memoirs of a Skepchick:
For quite a while now, I've been reading Skepchick.org, which is a great blog about skeptic and rational thought with a feminist slant. Now, you're going to read more about it, because I am one of the brand new Skepchicks contributing to the blog, and I'm pretty excited it about it. Along with other new contributor Amanda, I'll be posting daily link round-ups, weekly best-of posts from the Skepchick blog, and perhaps the occasional full-fledged essay if the mood strikes me. They have built up a community of smart, talented, supportive contributors and commenters (mostly women, but Skepdudes are more than welcome, too), so feel free to join in. Because the topics overlap with items I post here, I'll probably be cross-posting my Skepchick posts to DeliberatePixel in the beginning, if not permanently.
