sorcyressHave some sundries. Have ALL the sundries. I basically ignored my RSS reader for long enough that it's started deleting items in the back. This is terrible, and so I'm going to try and do lots and lots of sundries for the next several days.
*Jewish-Italian actress is told that, if she wants to make it, she NEEDS plastic surgery.
*A woman is looking to create a series of stories in which men write about their sexuality. Open to anyone who has ever considered "maleness" to be a part of their identity. Sounds kinda cool.
*Dogs shake their faces in slow-mo
*DO NOT PARK IN THE BIKE LANE.
*Racheline you want to look at this, this is basically what tumblr is about. Everyone else, it's Harry Potter meets P!nk, and it's awesome.
*Trigger warning: Rape
"An Addendum, On Rape Jokes, which is one of the most well written treatises on the topic I've ever seen.
/Trigger Warning
*The Horrible Histories are basically the best books, And apparently had a tv show. With an Adam Ant style treatment of the highwayman Dick Turpin. Swoon!
*Head Canon's for the four Hogwarts houses, which I kinda agree with -- Hufflepuff, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Gryffendor
*Where's Wall-E, which I am specifically posting for jere7my, but also for anyone who needs the most awesome geek poster ever.
*This is horrifying, Agents try to straighten gay characters in YA fiction. NO. NO, BAD AGENTS, NO COOKIES.
Racheline summed it up well on her twitter --the gist is that there are queer people out there, please give us characters like us to read about. Because you have no idea how amazing it is to stumble across that, and realize you are not alone.
*Related, a list of YA sci-fi/fantasy with major QUILTBAG1 characters.
*I need in a major way to visit this playground. This is one of my favourite things about Bostonish, that we have some incredible playground structures. WASTED ON CHILDREN, SAY I!
*I haven't uploaded my D*con photos yet, mostly because I've been distracted, but there've started to be other people's. here is me from the D*C parade, where I was a UNIT soldier from old who. And here is my awesome awesome Snowman costume from Homestuck.
*So, years ago there was a comic called Sexy Losers. It was...to say it was a dirty comic is to undersell just how awful and filthy it was. Necrophilia, incest, coprophilia... and yeah, the comic was written well enough to make a lot of it hilarious.
At any rate, the artist has started drawing comics again! They're just as vile as the original, don't worry.
*a counter to tell you how many days it's been since the last major homophobe was caught in a gay sex scandal. I have...mixed feelings on this one --I know we're supposed to enjoy the hypocrisy, but mostly it just feels incredibly _sad_ to me. And I hate the undercurrent of punishment that I see sometimes "oh, I hope he's _gay_ because that would be terrible, haha!" No, no it wouldn't fucking be terrible to be gay. It's just a thing.
*October 15th is Boston Book Fest! Look at all the neat people attending like omg Kate Beaton!
*(Trigger warning, 9/11, photos of the towers)
A couple days before the anniversary, because that's when she had it ready, Jannyblue wrote a piece about nine-eleven. I think it's well done, and it contains this heartbreaking line:
*I have recently started watching Sherlock (the BBC series from last year). It is pretty great, and like everyone, I ship John/Sherlock very hard. Have a sickeningly adorable fanfic that is still ongoing and everyone seems to be crossing their fingers for a happy ending!
*Just a fantastic bit of short fiction, Trial by Water
WOO!
More later.

1: QUILTBAG = Queer/Questioning U(?) Intersex Lesbian Trans Bi Asexual Gay. I think. At any rate, I've been seeing it all over the activist community to refer to the broad group of people who aren't cis and hetero (and whatever the opposite of asexual is) and it's a term I really like.

And if you put as your Facebook status “I totally raped at Halo today” for your two hundred Facebook friends to see, statistically, you have just reminded thirty-three people of one of the worst experiences of their entire lives.
To describe how well you did at a video game.
Good job!

Later on, Dad and I tried to find a place to donate blood, but the lines were all too long.
