Post about whatever you like, with whatever links you want to share. Sluggo would want you to self-link!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I Repeat-Quit Using ‘Tranny’ To Insult Cisgender Women<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Mary Anne Mohanraj Gets You Up to Speed, Part\u00a0II.<\/a> This one, also terrific, is more narrowly aimed at white writers writing characters of color.<\/li>\n
  3. New relationship initiative in California would convert civil marriage to Domestic Partnerships for everyone<\/a>. The compromise both sides oppose!<\/li>\n
  4. How a children’s book (Sam Llewellyn’s\u00a0Lyonesse: The Well Between the Worlds<\/em>)\u00a0uses fat as a symbol of corruption and evil<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  5. Why we think we’re post-racial, and why it’s a dangerous desire<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  6. Citigroup used bailout money to lobby against labor rights bill<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  7. I am not a foodie at all. For one thing, I’d rather spend the money on comic books. But darn, the extremely elaborate and wildly original meal described here<\/a> sounds like an experience.<\/li>\n
  8. The case against objective definitions of rape<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  9. The Untold Story of the World’s Biggest Diamond Heist.<\/a> Really entertaining read. Via Boing Boing<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  10. Billy Bragg and other rock stars<\/a> speak out in favor of fans downloading music.<\/li>\n
  11. One-eyed filmmaker plans to install tiny camera in his empty eye socket<\/a>. He thinks it’ll let him more intimate, natural footage when talking to people. This reminds me a little of Connie Willis’ short story “The Last of the Winnebagos,” which featured a photographer using a hidden camera to capture more genuine expressions.<\/li>\n
  12. Mzbitca considers Buffy Season one<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  13. U.S. job situation now worse than in our previous five recessions<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  14. Note to newspapers: “Rape” is not spelled S-E-X<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  15. You know who didn’t<\/em> cause the economic crisis? Women<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  16. Bus bench in Netherlands publicly displays weight<\/a> of whoever sits on it. It’s a promotion for a “health” club.<\/li>\n
  17. Intersectionality and violence against South African, and California, lesbians<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  18. The Watchmen movie may disappoint, but fan culture does not<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  19. Some horrible Bush administration policies that Obama is embracing<\/a>; and in other cases, he doens’t continue Bush’s crimes, but he does cover them up<\/a>. Obama’s a lot better than Bush, but a lot worse than he should be.<\/li>\n
  20. Bank ad featuring a trans women<\/a>. And clearly being anti-trans bigotry. Neat.<\/li>\n
  21. California legislators propose legalizing pot for the tax revenue<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  22. You’re right, Lisa, the way Vogue frames dieting, fat and “curves” is both sexist and racist<\/a>. But I wish you had also pointed out that it’s a prime example of anti-fat bigotry (or “sizist,” if you’d like an “ist” word).<\/li>\n
  23. Really striking, huge-scale, anti-domestic-violence art project<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  24. The argument against participating in Durbin II<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  25. Gay marriage opponent jokes about same-sex couples being denied visitation rights in hospitals.<\/a> Yeah, that’s a laugh riot.<\/li>\n
  26. Is food the new sex?<\/a> Right-wing and wrong in a number of ways, but interesting if you can deal with that, essay on fat, sex, and self-indulgence.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You know one thing I really love? Great book design. Check out the elegant and striking cover design for the upcoming Nancy collection<\/a>. Published by Fantagraphics, designed by Seth (who’s also a great cartoonist).<\/p>\n
