• Lucy Knisley comics – Don’t just read this one. Read them all. Her art is wonderful to look at, and the comics’ content swings from humor, to storytelling, to painful self-awareness.
  
• Jon Stewart skewers Jim Cramer (the yelling stock idiot from CNBC)
• The Big Picture – a photo blog that turns news stories into more than just words
• The J-Walk Blog – “The Web has thousands of halfway-decent blogs. This is one of them”
• Bunny Bookends – aww

A friend is going through this. She needs legal advice and low-income resources.

Here’s the best of what I’ve found:

• WomensLaw.org – Incredibly clear and useful site with an excellent FAQ, state-by-state help, info on shelters, courthouse locations, legal forms, advice.
• Battered Women’s Justice Project – Contact list for state Domestic Violence coalitions – These groups can provide individual *advocates* who are familiar with state laws and resources.
• American Bar Association’s Commission on Domestic Violence pdf guide to attaining a lawyer
  

I’ve been finding a lot of links-to-lists-of-links. If you know of any *easy to use* resources that would help a mother with no money avoid a murderous creep, please comment, and thank you.

Page-a-Day calendars are a blatant waste of paper. I’m shocked. Shocked, and very very covetous of this Cute Overload Calendar.

I’m buying two. One for me, and one for my grandma. That lady needs more cute in her life.
