<p>Another two-week round-up here.</p>
<p>The past two weeks have seen the following posts up at <em>The Pursuit of Harpyness</em>: </p>
<ul>
<li>A <a href="http://www.harpyness.com/2011/04/08/friday-fun-thread-share-web-comic/">Friday Fun Thread</a> highlighting <em>Freak Angels </em>and asking folks to post links to their favorite web comics. The comments thread is a goldmine of new reading suggestions! I highly recommend browsing and link-hopping.</li>
<li>A review of data from the Califonia Health Interview Surveys that highlights the <a href="http://www.harpyness.com/2011/04/07/queer-aging-health-study/">health issues for ageing queer folks</a>. Some thoughtful reflections in comments about how we could provide better support for all elders.</li>
<li>A <a href="http://www.harpyness.com/2011/04/04/teenagers-sexual-privacy-and-porn/">response to an advice column letter</a> posted at the Guardian by a mother concerned that her teenage son was viewing internet pornography. There was a long, engaged discussion in the comment thread over the limits of young adult autonomy and the extent to which parents have the right (or ability) to restrict their children&#8217;s exploration of sexuality in this way.</li>
<li>For a <a href="http://www.harpyness.com/2011/03/31/thursday-night-trivia-favorite-picture-books-from-childhood/">Thursday Night Trivia</a> I requested readers favorite childhood picture books. (Again, have fun in comments!)</li>
<li>And I <a href="http://www.harpyness.com/2011/03/29/do-it-yourself-pelvic-exams/">praised the women&#8217;s health movement</a> for encouraging women to become familiar with their own anatomy and become used to touching themselves in a way that can only help inform more pleasurable sexual experiences.</li>
</ul>
<p>Other contributors offered blog posts on <a href="http://www.harpyness.com/2011/03/30/the-scintillating-world-of-canadian-politics/">Canadian politics</a>, <a href="http://www.harpyness.com/2011/04/01/on-not-wearing-or-not-owning-a-wedding-band/">wedding rings</a>, <a href="http://www.harpyness.com/2011/03/28/harpy-seminar-on-not-wearing-bras/">shopping for bras</a>, and <a href="http://www.harpyness.com/2011/04/05/tooth-decay-a-guest-post-by-not-mr-big/">being newly-single</a>.
