So, Cara did an excellent job this weekend during the Blogathon. She put up 24 excellent sexual violence-related posts, which I highly recommend checking out. As Nora said, the posts are “a great crash course in how sexual violence intersects with other kinds of violence to affect different communities in different ways.” All 24 are fabulous and run the gamut of assault issues, including male and trans rape victims, rape in prisons, the rape of immigrant women, and the intersection of race and rape. Here are some of my personal highlights. Oh, and did I mention she raised SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS IN PLEDGES?!? Yeah, crazy amazing.

In other news, Samhita and G.D. both discuss the rape accusations (and media coverage of them) made against a Pisstsburgh Steeler’s Qaurterback.

Also, I was glad to see that this Fugitivus post got picked up at Mother Jones.

Goodbye weekend, hello rest of the week…
