Just clearing out my open tabs… but please feel free to use this thread to post whatever you’d like. (Self-link love is a healthy activity that everyone engages in, and I encourage you to do it without guilt.)<\/p>\n
My open tabs:<\/p>\n
1) Orson Scott Card<\/a> calls for overthrowing government if same-sex couples can marry in California. Curtsy Box Turtle Bulletin<\/a>. See also Feminist SF Blog<\/a>‘s post on this, which is by far the best and most thorough post on this subject I’ve read.<\/p>\n 2) Speaking of Scott Card, John Kessel’s analysis of Ender’s Game<\/em>, “Creating The Innocent Killer<\/a>,” is excellent. (Previous “Alas” posts mentioning Scott Card: 1<\/a> 2<\/a> 3<\/a>).<\/p>\n 3) Should the obese have to pay more for airline tickets<\/a>? Newsweek says no.<\/p>\n 4) Delta Makes Woman With Muscular Dystrophy Crawl Off Plane<\/a><\/p>\n 5) Rebecca Allen, a nerd at peace, explains why pop culture analysis matters<\/a>. There’s also some discussion of Joss Whedon’s upcoming series “Dollhouse” in the comments.<\/p>\n 6) Uh-Obama: Racism, White Voters and the Myth of Color-Blindness<\/a>. I love Tim Wise’s writing. (Curtsy: Racialicious<\/a>).<\/p>\n 7) How do we deal with a great and important work of art, that’s also disgustingly racist? Roger Ebert discusses “The Birth Of A Nation”<\/a>.<\/p>\n 8) The Opt-Out revolution among working mothers is a myth<\/a>.<\/p>\n 9) Police arrest 6-year-old black girl<\/a> for throwing tantrum, charge her with resisting arrest. (Curtsy: Racialicious<\/a>)<\/p>\n 10) Bush Justice Department fires employee for being suspected of being gay<\/a>.<\/p>\n 11) Five year old American Indian refused admission to kindergarten because he has long hair<\/a>. But, basically, it’s because where conservatives dominate local schools, local schools are mean-spirited xenophobic and racist. (See also<\/a>.)<\/p>\n 12) The limits of superhero movies<\/a> are limitations inherent in movie executives, not in the superhero genre.<\/p>\n 13) Kitten vs. Fan<\/a>. The cuteness! It burns! It burns!<\/p>\n (Thanks to Bean for several of these links.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Just clearing out my open tabs… but please feel free to use this thread to post whatever you’d like.
