Hi Everyone! Apologies for the lack of updates lately – I’ve been fluey all week, sadface. But anyway, welcome to all our new members/subscribers/hangers-outers/crafty people. It’s great to have so so many new people showing their interest and getting to know people through the department, whether it’s online (here on the website or on our facebook group), or in person in the women’s room or at some of our events!
Anyway, without further ado, here is this week’s Link Share Goodness – a collection of interestingness from around the web. Why do uni readings when you can procrastinate online??

In relation to that bike riding and academia link, Bitch magazine published a GENIUS article (which I read while hanging around in the Wom*n’s Room) about being read as a woman and the impacts on bike riding. Last I saw it in the hands of Ruthie (Enviro officer) but that might be a genius thing to PDF and put up?
Yeah cool! Bloody enviro department nicking our stuff… Jokes! Will definitely track it down and post it up.
Anyone else, please post any interesting links you have!
