Girl of the Gaps: A-Week – Are You Shouting, Or Are You Just There?
http://girlofthegaps.blogspot.com/2012/03/week-are-you-shouting-or-are-you-just.html
Monday, March 19, 2012. A-Week – Are You Shouting, Or Are You Just There? It's that time of year again. It's A-Week. Last year, I didn't participate. I had my reasons. But this year, I'm ramping it up with an 'A' as my profile pic! Nothing as gauche as last year's scarlet A, though. This year, it's a nice, sedate blue. Really, though, I have to wonder. Am I making a difference? Participating in A-Week feels like a good way to do that. It's a good way to not be hiding. I feel like most of the people I see...

Wednesday, March 28, 2012. I'm a Movie Star! Well, not really. But I sure felt like one when I saw the latest Mrs. Betty Bowers. I feel so honored that America's Best Christian saw fit to include me in her invitation to join the GOP! Check me out at 0:19! To celebrate this momentous occasion, I'm releasing the never-before-published. Sister picture, without my lovely self in the frame! Seriously, I have no idea what was going through that designer's head when they made that billboard. 160;specifically, C...

Girl of the Gaps: July 2011
http://girlofthegaps.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 29, 2011. Just a short post, as I'm leaving soonish and still need to pack (curse you, procrastination! But I'm heading off to the Secular Student Alliance's annual conference. In Columbus, Ohio today, and I am excited! To put it frankly, how the hell do I get a (mostly male) group to talk about something like the proposed requirement for health insurance providers to provide birth control free of charge. Is actually going to happen (seriously, I want to go)! Will be full of awesome people.

Girl of the Gaps: June 2011
http://girlofthegaps.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 08, 2011. Giles County's Unconstitutional Ten Commandments Decision. I know everyone thought Id been raptured, since Ive been terribly neglectful of this blog for the last month, but I promise, Im still here, and still in Blacksburg, even. In fact, Im still meeting up with the Freethinkers. And we are doing epic things. And probably much longer. Have sex with anyone willing and of age and sound mind (at any rate, theres no federal law governing adultery). Only murder, theft, and bearing f...

Girl of the Gaps: About Me
http://girlofthegaps.blogspot.com/p/about-me.html
My name is Nicole Schrand, and I am an atheist. This is not something my mother would have me admit. This is not something, I'm sure, that my grandparents will enjoy hearing when they finally find out. This is not a part of me that my family embraces, and I'm sure that much of the United States would agree with their assessment. This is a part of myself of which I am proud. I hope that one day, people will live for what is here, for what is now, and perhaps to leave the world better than they found it...

Girl of the Gaps: May 2011
http://girlofthegaps.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 05, 2011. National Day of. Really, Guys? So, I can't pretend I've actually been paying a whole lot of attention (what with studying for exams and writing end-of-term papers taking precedence over even my blog-reading addiction), but even I know that today was the National Day of Prayer. We'll only encourage illegal immigrants like that! Not that they'd actually give a damn about anything that didn't support their desire to push their beliefs on others. And it's not that I've really got much...

Girl of the Gaps: Good On You, Stony Brook
http://girlofthegaps.blogspot.com/2012/03/good-on-you-stony-brook.html
Thursday, March 22, 2012. Good On You, Stony Brook. Congratulations, Stony Brook University. Good job on discouraging preferential treatment. To specific religions. Obviously, Rush Limbaugh doesn't like it. But, well, it's Rush Limbaugh. I don't think there's much of anything that he actually does. Like; the man's show is a putrid fountain of hatred and idiocy. But that's beside the point. In February, Stony Brook made some changes. About how Stony Brook is being so disrespectful. I don't think it's that...

Thursday, March 31, 2011. Is it Our Duty to Come Out as Atheists? Im sure many of you know it, but just to set the stage for my discussion of this topic, last week was A Week. Atheists have been encouraged to set their Facebook (and other social profile, I suppose) picture to the scarlet A - or, in a twist on the concept that I personally prefer, to take a picture of themselves. Smiling with a small sign saying that they are an atheist, and use that for their profile picture. Posted by Nicole Schrand.

Girl of the Gaps: In Defense of Naughty Words
http://girlofthegaps.blogspot.com/2012/02/in-defense-of-naughty-words.html
Saturday, February 25, 2012. In Defense of Naughty Words. So, I wanted to talk about words a little bit. As you may have noticed, I tend to use them a lot. In fact, you might have noticed that I even use words that are –. Not really very fucking polite. So I'm going to tell you how I feel about words, and the words I use. Now, words are tricksy things sometimes. For example, I have no fucking problem being a little obscene here – I mean, it is. Be used. Such places include things like:. Angry" With the s...
