A List of Features

You can now blog in Spanish, French and Portuguese at culturekitchen

¡En español, carajo!

I am happy to announce that finalmente, I have created the best possible grammar UI (user-interace) that will make it easy to use accented charactes in Español, Português and other romance languages.

WYSIWYG Buttons

Accents are not easy to introduce in a blog post. You need to know how to convert them to HTML (or also called "Ampersand") characters. I have customized the editing toolbar to include all the accents, as well as the cent and Spanish exclamation and question characters.

Just click on the Help button and you'll see the complete selection explained :

BUEditor Help

How do you use it?
To create the HTML version [ español ] of the word español, all you have to do is write the word espanol, highlight the letter "n" and then click on the tilde ( ~ ). When you publish, the character will appear correctly interpreted.

The Hell of Happy Children : What does it look like?


If you switch to the new holiday template, you'll see what my happy hell looks like --complete with home-made gluten-free chocolote chip cookies.

Yes. I am that kind of mother.

Which is why my happy children conspire on a daily basis to deny me of my right to be a depressed, sullen, angry and resentful bitch. They force me to be happy and grateful.

Bastards.

Such is life.

Such is the hell I've chose to live in.

Do you want to know what Ive been working on these past couple of days?

  1. Go to your home page
  2. Click on edit
  3. Scroll down to find the Theme Configuration.
  4. Click on culturekitchen_red.2

This is the design I am working on at the moment. Please note that it is far from finished; but if you want to see what I am obsessed with at the moment, you can switch to this design and see it change right before your very eyes. If all the changes make you crazy, then switch back to the original (which is culturekitchen_red).

Use this post to log your questions or comments on the new design. All imput and opinions are most certainly welcomed.

Come test the chatroom people!

Come on my precious little pixies, help me test the doohickey . It seems the email I sent out to the membership 10 hours ago never reached you. So, if any of you are insomniacs like yours truly, please stop over.

I'll leave it open until midnight.

Features galore that just need testing

Come out, come out wherever you are...

I'm not asking you to come out of the closet :lol: I'm asking you to come and play on the site --especially if you are one of the thousands of people reading us through our feeds.

In the past few weeks I have been working on the technology and design of culturekitchen. Check out our growing list of features. I actually have a longer post to make about what I am rolling out this weekend; but right now I need your help with two things :

Words to live by

of Racist Memoribilia :
Jezebel Stereotype

The power of slaveholders to exploit, expose, and control the sexuality of black women was overwhelming. Slaveholders could keep black women and their children in a state of near-nakedness while asserting that modesty and civility required full clothing. They could and did encourage frequent slave pregnancies through a variety of punishments and rewards. They then interpreted black women’s evident fertility as evidence of their uncontrolled sexuality.

The insatiable, sexual black woman did important work for Southern society. The myth of Jezebel created space for white moral superiority. Because she was a seductress, Jezebel justified the sexual brutality of Southern white men. Jezebel not only protected white men’s morality, so assured the purity of white women by offering a sexual alternative to white prostitution.

The point here is that Jezebel is more than a demeaning and false stereotype of black women [...] Jezebel is a deliberate characterization that does a specific service in the context American politics and society.
