Glass by Marsha Blaker and Paul DeSomna

  • Food is for White Liberals What Sex Is For The Religious Right
  • Top Ten Most Common Short Story Names
  • A Happy Death, Full Of Light And Color
  • Tumblr Fandom Doesn’t Owe You Sales: The Fans Who Are Ruining Everything (This Week)
  • tableflip dot club
  • I Read a Book: So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed
  • This Public Shaming Is Not Like The Other
  • So You’ve Been Publicly Scapegoated: Why We Must Speak Out On Call Out Culture The headline is not great–this is a thoughtful examination of the failures of Ronson’s book and the very real problems with the lack of nuance on social media.
  • The worst question you could ask women in a job interview
  • How to Spite A Racist Troll: Support Black Dreams
  • Trash Food This more or less gets to the heart as to why I try very hard not to call people trash or garbage.
  • Mediocre Failures
  • Original Patent For Perforated Toilet Paper On A Roll Solves Over Vs. Under Debate Once And For All
  • CBC inquiry concludes management mishandled Jian Ghomeshi There’s a link to the full report (with some redactions) in the article and it is fascinating reading. One of the most interesting parts for me was where the report says that some of the incidents, taken on their own, would not have been a violation or inappropriate, but since they were part of his pattern of behavior, they ultimately did contribute to the hostile work environment around him.
  • Why We’ve Decided to Organize
  • What Do Conservatives Want When They Say “I Want My Country Back?”
  • Vox Day’s involvement in the Sad Puppies slate
  • Sad Puppies Showing Who They Are…Again.
  • Science Fiction’s White Boys’ Club Strikes Back
  • Awkward
  • Annie Bellet and Marko Kloos have withdrawn their works from the Hugo ballot. Both their posts are very much worth reading and show tremendous integrity and character on both their parts.

Oh, I want to believe. “Chewie, we’re home”–Natalie becomes a 9 year old again.
