Reclusive Leftist

Where I’ve been

By Violet Socks · Friday, March 19th, 2010 · 22 Comments »

Hi, everybody.
Okay, here’s the deal: I was kidnapped. No, really. This totally happened. I know I’ve mentioned before that I hang with the secret feminist cabal that rules the world, and so I do. And I’ve been working with them on a secret new world-ruling organization that promises to change [...]

Dr. Socks leaves the house

By Violet Socks · Friday, November 13th, 2009 · 159 Comments »

I’m going to be traveling for the next few days, so my internet access will be intermittent. This is an awkward time for an away mission, what with the barricades going up and the citizen militias forming, but I have no choice. There are big doings afoot which I must attend.
When I get [...]

Grand re-opening of the Lounge, with a free gift of user testing to the first 1000 visitors

By Violet Socks · Friday, July 17th, 2009 · 125 Comments »

Greetings, people! Thank you all for your patience while the curtains and wallpaper and slipcovers were a-doing.
The new theme is…well, you can see what it is. Weird, like me. (If you can’t see the new stuff, clear your cache and try again.)
I’m still in the process of [...]

Slashdotted

By Violet Socks · Friday, June 12th, 2009 · 3 Comments »

It’s okay, folks; the Ministry of Truth didn’t really shut me down. I know, I know — I was scared for a minute there too.
But it was just an instalanche. Link from Instapundit = flood of traffic. And alas, the Good Ship Reclusive Leftist temporarily capsized.
But we’re [...]

Another message from the Ministry of Truth

By Minitrue · Wednesday, February 4th, 2009 · 29 Comments »

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Socks’s “Where’s your Superman now?” post, which we removed earlier this week, has now been re-published in annotated form as a teaching aid for bloggers. Throughout the post we have marked Dr. Socks’s most egregious errors and lapses of taste with a “Minitrue says” icon which, when [...]

This is a funny thing

By Violet Socks · Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009 · 8 Comments »

My friend Ann Bartow sent me word last night that, surprisingly enough, our existence has been detected by the world at large. The new Linkfluence map of the feminist blogosphere was unveiled yesterday at the Fem2pt0 conference, and we’re both on the Top 30 list.

Cool, huh? I think it’s cool. [...]

Another anniversary, another year of EPIC FAIL

By Violet Socks · Friday, January 2nd, 2009 · 36 Comments »

Today is the blog’s third birthday. Once again, it’s time to look back and reflect on a record of complete and utter failure.
The blog was begun with a modest program of goals:
1. Defeat the neo-fascist forces threatening to overwhelm our nation;
2. Bring feminist enlightenment to all humanity;
3. Achieve world peace.
The filters (now [...]

Hello and Open Thread

By Violet Socks · Sunday, August 3rd, 2008 · 19 Comments »

Did you think I’d died? Did you think I’d been kidnapped by the Obama campaign and forced to swear fealty to the god-king?
Actually I’ve just had an insanely busy and complicated week. I’m still busy, as a matter of fact. But I’m here and alive — well, no, actually I’m [...]

The Story of Violet and the Satellite

By Violet Socks · Tuesday, May 20th, 2008 · 4 Comments »

With apologies to Edward Albee. No, actually I’m not going to do that today, but someday — yes, someday I’ll write a post based on The Zoo Story — have you ever seen The Zoo Story? Wonderful play — and the monologue in the middle is like 20 pages long and it’s called “The [...]
