  • The Return Of The Back-Alley Abortion
  • To Shield Their Daughters, Former Child Brides In Turkey Recount The Horror (content warning, child rape)
  • Throwing K-Cups In Glass Houses
  • Terrabyte Incognita: Africa Might Not Look Like You Think It Does
  • The Wonderful World of Witches: Portraits of English Pagans From the 60’s!
  • “Like Wearing Pants to Church”: Mormon Feminists Testing the Waters
  • Hook Of Mormon: Inside The Church’s Online-Only Missionary Army
  • A Better Way to Say Sorry
  • Hardly a Female in Sight: David Thomson’s The Big Screen
  • Fanfic Is Destroying Children – Tindeck MP3 Download This is an amazing reading of the pearl-clutching article from last week about fanfic. I have no idea who obfuscobble is, but they are a genius.
  • What I’m saying, and what I’m not saying.
  • Five Reasons Not To Raise Venture Capital
  • F is for Fuck’s Sake, Frankly, My Dear
  • Writers Of Color Flock To Social Media For A New Way To Use Language
  • Howling at the Moon
  • My Cane is Not A Costume – Convention Exclusions and Ways to Think About Oppression at Cons
  • Special Needs in Strange Worlds: Elizabeth Bear on Writing Disabilities
  • Coming Out In Basketball: How Brittney Griner Found ‘A Place Of Peace’ The phrase “emancipated abandon” is so so so evocative.
  • Derrick Gordon finds his freedom
  • Is the Oculus Rift sexist?
  • What is the evolutionary or biological purpose of having periods?
  • Gentrification’s insidious violence: The truth about American cities
  • The Everyday Sexism campaign risks making all sexual advances ‘misogynist’ (donotlinkified)

  • Font War: Inside the Design World’s $20 Million Divorce

  • Case Study: 50 Shades of Exhausted 50 Shades Jokes (And also some more about love)
  • The other wounds
  • So Long and Thanks for All Your Bullshit (site may be NSFW due to BDSM imagery, content of the post is fine)
  • George W. Bush copied his paintings from Google images And who the fuck cares? Art is for everyone, even George W. Bush. Now, his name and reputation and former occupation certainly enabled him to have such a high profile show and that’s certainly fodder for discussion but art is for EVERYONE. And if it makes him happy to paint portraits of world leaders from Google image searches, then it’s not hurting anyone.  Things I never thought I’d do in my life: defending George W. Bush and his right to make art.

  • Writer Carrie Cuinn has run into some unexpected financial difficulties and could use a bit of help: Will Trade Words For Money: A Quick Fundraiser

    @Merrian: He has a habit of posting serial comments on posts there for some reason. I skimmed the ones on Bear’s post and they were…I do believe OMFG is the right way to put it.
