Picture, Work, and More Patriarchical Idiocy

Well, I'm glad last week's over, of course this week there's a lot of work for Wednesday through Friday or Saturday, depending on how things go.

This is a very small park behind Grand Forks City Hall (about five trees, some shrubs/flowers and two pic-nic tables. I don't think they could do anything else with that particular wedge of land) shot back around 945pm on 11 July of this year. f16 for 60 seconds, on ASA400 Kodak C-41 Process B&W.

*I still haven't heard back about my film scanner yet. I'm hoping to have the damn thing by the end of the month, or early next.

*Found this (Pregnancy as the punishment for being single) over at Pandagon, linking here (Den of the Biting Beaver). Seems that Plan B isn't available Over The Counter in the US until New Year's, and Biting Beaver has effectively been turned down for EC because she isn't married and wasn't raped. To quote the Pandagon article:

...the question about marriage is really a way for the doctor to gauge whether the proper owner of the uterus--—he who poked and owned it--has been told what the ninny that'’s merely managing his uterus is doing with it. On a more abstract level, this shows really how marriage confers status on women--—the married woman can invoke her man'’s authority and rights in these circumstances. She may not have a right to Plan B, but her husband has a right to it that he can pass on to her. The wedding ring is like having a hall pass in the the patriarchy (emphasis mine).
