She listed us in some pretty esteemed company, so we&#39;re flattered and honored and if a blog could blush we&#39;d be blushing!</p><p align="left">Caroline is also the lead organizer of the <a href="http://feministsexcarnival.blogspot.com/">Feminist Carnival of Sexual Freedom and Autonomy</a>, a much needed collection of feminist writing that supports exactly what it claims to support, without excluding sex worker, fetish, kink or other kinds of sexual expression. It&#39;s a monthly carnival and if you&#39;ve read something or written something that you&#39;d like to see collected there, let her know at uncool [dot] blog [at] gmail [dot] com.
