Short article about Mutu & her art at Hi Fructose.

It’s been a bit of a hectic week for me, so no commentary, but have some links anyhow!

  • This Month (And Every Month), Black Sci-Fi Writers Look To The Future Alaya Dawn Johnson being smart.
  • Writing Women Characters as Human Beings Kate Elliott being smart.
  • “Are they going to say this is fantasy?”
  • The Toxicity Of Talent (Or: Did You Roll A Natural 20 At Birth?)
  • On That Article from that Former MFA Professor, from a Current MFA Student
  • Remembering Leonard Nimoy: A Rabbi’s Eulogy (warning: may cause crying)
  • Nimoy and Spock: Reflections and Farewells
  • How Leonard Nimoy’s Death Revealed Facebook’s Draconian Community Standards (Again)
  • Why The Sound of Music is still genius at 50
  • Project BQ: Training the muscle between my ears
  • Attention policing paradox
  • Crazy Bullshit People Said About Web 2.0 At A Party I Went To In San Francisco In Like 2004 vs. How Twenty-Year-Old Women Use It To Ship Couples On The CW
  • A Note on Call-Out Culture I’ll note that I don’t agree with everything in this article, but it did provide me with some food for thought.
  • Team Angry Cat
  • Building the First Slavery Museum in America

And on a completely different note: I’ve seen my name pop up on some Hugo nominations lists under Fan Writer. If you’re nominating me, thank you so much. If you’re not, why not? (I kid, I kid: there’s been a lot of people doing really good work this year.)

I’ll also mention that nominations close on March 10, so if you’re eligible to nominate, please take the time to nominate the individuals and works you feel are most deserving.

    I liked the (anti-) attention policing article. As we used to say on Usenet, “Post what you want to see.”

    Also loved the last paragraph of the Sound of Music article.

    Relevant to the Sound of Music article:

    “While I was a bit startled to be thrown aside for someone who flunked out of nun school, I assure you that I will be fine, and my main pursuits in life shall continue to be martinis, bon mots, and looking fabulous.”
