EOD Roundup: Duke University Teaching Students How to be Feminist Bloggers

In today’s EOD roundup, Duke University’s Women’s Center is offering training on how to be a feminist blogger in their newly created program, Write(H)ers. Throughout the semester, 23 student participants will attend workshops and write three blog posts to be published on either the Women’s Center blog or Develle Dish, Duke’s feminist student blog. The program also includes dinners with visiting feminist journalists including Feministe’s Jill Fillpovic and Salon’s Irin Carmon. [The Frisky]

Porn star James Deen writes about his experience filming The Canyons, the Bret Easton Ellis-penned indie flick starring the shell of the person Lindsay Lohan once was. (We here at the ‘Dough have a paper chain wrapping around our office, counting down the days ’till The Canyons‘s release.) In it, he calls James Franco “a d*ck.” If you have a little bit crush on James Deen after finishing this piece, you’re not the only one.

“Lens,” the New York Times‘s photography blog, shares Rebecca Martinez’ fascinating sojourn into the Reborn subculture, a group who collects eerily lifelike baby dolls. (I am not responsible for any nights terrors these photos may cause.) [New York Times]

In his new memoir The Soundtrack of My Life, Clive Davis admits he is bisexual. He writes that he is currently in a relationship with a man, “but I never stopped being attracted to women. Bisexuality is misunderstood; the adage is that you’re either straight or gay or lying, but that’s not my experience. To call me anything other than bisexual would be inaccurate.” Clive — may we call you Clive? — this one’s for you. [Vulture]

Use Science for fun and manipulation because what else is science for: science journalist Stephen Ross Pomeroy uses real science research to teach you how to trick people into “remembering” events that never happened…scientifically. Why Mr. Joyce didn’t teach this to my 5th grade class after our daily viewing of The Voyage of the Mimi, I’ll never know. [Boing Boing]
