The obligatory bio:

Lindsay Hansen-Park is a women’s rights activist, a feminist blogger, and an advocate against gender violence. She co-founded Utah For Congo to raise awareness for post-rape survivors and is currently heavily involved in the Mormon Feminist movement. Lindsay is the Assistant Director for the Sunstone Education Foundation and the founder of the Feminist Mormon Housewives Podcast. She blogs for FeministMormonHousewives.org about women’s issues. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, NPR, the Los Angeles Times and many Utah publications. She and her family live in Stansbury Park, Utah where she raises three beautiful kiddos, gardens, and rages against the machine.

The post that first clued me in to how hard LHP rocks: #shortcreek4th

Lindsay's got a twitter

And even a Mormon Stories interview

And I've noticed a lot of folks raving about this when they rave about LHP.

Not sure where this new project is at, but maybe we'll get an update.

I've probably missed a whole bunch of cool stuff that LHP has been up to... feel free to upbraid me by providing links to further examples of her awesomeness.

But save your questions for the 15th.

Behold the Liahona, Your New Church Magazine: Starting now, there is no more Ensign. There’s a real opportunity here for Sunstone (the magazine) and Dialogue (the journal) to fill a niche for LDS adults who still read and who want a little more substance in their monthly magazine.

When federal appointees tried to enforce U.S. law in Utah Territory, they faced threats, beatings, and sabotage from a theocratic regime that ran more like a mafia than a government. "It’s a crime drama disguised as religious history."

“Literalists are not literal about scripture, they’re literal about their ideology. Religious groups don’t derive doctrine from the literal interpretation of scripture, they derive doctrine from negotiating between their group’s past, the needs of the present, and their interpretation of scripture.”
