Earth Day Everyday
I spent yesterday away from my computer playing outside. But last night I joked with Mr. Radical by saying “Let’s celebrate Earth Day” while flicking on a light switch. Why? Because we’re on solar power.
I posted some solar power resources before but in celebration of Earth Day I’m reposting them.

At Your Cervix Movie
From At Your Cervix’s website:
“The documentary, At Your Cervix, enters U.S. medical and nursing schools and breaks the silence around the unethical ways in which medical and nursing students learn to perform pelvic exams. These practices—which include nursing students being required to perform exams on each other in front of faculty and medical students “practicing” on unconscious, unconsenting patients—lead directly to the reality that most women find pelvic exams to be humiliating and painful. The existence of these egregious practices are challenged in the film by highlighting an ethical and more effective way of teaching the pelvic exam that has existed for nearly 30 years: the work of the Gynecological Teaching Associates (GTA) of New York City, in which the “patient” herself is the teacher.”
“At Your Cervix aims to improve how pelvic exams are taught and the care women receive. The film raises the expectations women should have of their healthcare providers and hopes to create a culture where pelvic exams are pain-free. The woman, the provider, the patient, and the cervix itself tell the story, a story that will dramatically affect the quality of these oft-dreaded exams, a story that will transform breast and pelvic exams into opportunities women actually welcome to discover more about their bodies, and about their sexual and reproductive selves.”

This sounds like a fascinating film. They’re currently in the editing and distribution phase of movie making. Their fundraising campaign can be found here.
I learned about this upcoming movie via Bust Magazine. If you don’t know about Bust I highly recommend them!

Nude Weddings
Found via World Sex News Daily:
Weddings exposed: Bride and groom bare it all
“On a sunny, August day in the Berkshire Mountains, 600 guests stood waiting to witness Pamela and Lee tie the knot. But as the bride walked down the aisle, no one marveled at her wedding dress.
She wasn’t wearing one. And Lee, her husband shortly to be, wore little more than a top hat and bowtie. As for the audience, some people wore hats and others had shawls around their shoulders, but most did not dress at all that morning. Only 12 were fully clothed.
“We worked for many months to craft a ceremony that was very expressive of our thoughts and our beliefs,” Pamela said. Having a nude wedding was “so expressive of who we are,” she said.
“It’s so natural, it’s so unpretentious.”
Pamela and Lee, both in their 50s, are part of a growing number of nudists opting to have nude weddings to complement their lifestyle. As nudists, they eat, sleep, exercise, and sometimes work in the raw. For them, nude weddings are simply a natural extension of their everyday life.”

Getting wed naked is a nifty idea. Certainly cuts down on the wedding expenses. I wore a black dress to mine and Mr. Radical wore a velvet tux.
