<p>Two posts by yours truly this week, and a few by other Harpies.</p>
<ul>
<li>On Monday, I blogged about <a href="http://www.harpyness.com/2011/03/07/damn-but-i-miss-driving/">the pleasures of driving</a> &#8212; and how I miss being behind the wheel now that I live in the city and don&#8217;t own a car. In the comment thread, readers wrote about their own driving experiences and what they miss (or don&#8217;t miss) about previous places they have lived and worked.</li>
<li>Thursday was the inaugural <a href="http://www.harpyness.com/2011/03/10/thursday-night-trivia-work-or-food/">Thursday Night Trivia</a> thread in which I posed the question &#8220;work or food?&#8221; to our readers (click through to find out why!)</li>
<li>On Friday, I contributed to the series we Harpies are doing on women in history (in honor of Women&#8217;s History Month). My first contribution was <a href="http://www.harpyness.com/2011/03/11/harpy-hall-of-fame-dorothy-day/">Dorothy Day (1897-1980)</a>, journalist, social justice activists, and co-founder of the Catholic Worker Movement.</li>
</ul>
<p>Other Harpies wrote posts about <a href="http://www.harpyness.com/2011/03/08/in-which-i-roll-my-eyes/">Vera Wang ad campaigns</a>, the <a href="http://www.harpyness.com/2011/03/09/peter-king-hates-terrorists-except-the-terrorists-he-loves/">politics of terrorism</a>, <a href="http://www.harpyness.com/2011/03/07/international-womens-day-is-tomorrow-join-me-on-the-bridge/">International Women&#8217;s Day</a> (March 8th if you missed it) and <a href="http://www.harpyness.com/2011/03/07/honorary-harpy-dolores-huerta/">Dolores Huerta</a>.</p>
<p>Next week, I have posts lined up about Sylvia Pankhurst, a new report on bisexual invisibility, and (if you&#8217;re lucky) a report from the graduate conference on <a href="http://web.mit.edu/gcws/Grad_conference_2011/index_schedule11.html">gender, sexuality and urban spaces</a> that my friend Minerva and I attended this weekend at MIT&#8217;s Stata Center.</p>
