on the less technical more feminist side of things

Mentoring is a good thing. I'd missed this report about mentoring at Sun Computer. It includes some mentoring best practices (and some "what not to do"), among other things.

And for a frivolous bit of feminism, I find the twitter feed from FEMINIST HULK often amusing and occasionally charming. Samples: "HULK FIND COMPLICITY BETWEEN ALL SYSTEMS OF OPPRESSION. RESULT: HULK HAVE VERY DIVERSE PORTFOLIO OF SMASH." and "BIG GREEN FISTS NOT ONLY WAY TO SMASH PATRIARCHY. BUT HULK REALLY LIKE CONFETTI-EFFECT OF PRETTY HEGEMONIC DEBRIS."
