Vietnamese Landscape by Phan Thu Trang

Vietnamese Landscape by Phan Thu Trang

Hey, this is post #300 here! Hurray! 300! That’s a lot! Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to read and engage with what I’ve had to say–it means a lot.

  • Before the Mast and on The Deck of the World: a fantastic post by Fran Wilde about competence and finding her voice…and a wonderful series of tweets inspired by this post by Rose Lemberg.
  • We Need to Talk About This (content note: discussion of harassment/misogyny)
  • On being a thing (content note: discussion of harassment/misogyny)
  • Some thoughts on handling harassment and toxic behavior privately Exactly.
  • Martin Wisse says smart things about the conspiracy of silence and fandom. Very glad that Martin wrote this.
  • Six Questions Every Journalist Should Ask Before Quoting Social Media Posts
  • How Mother Jones Set Me Up for Harassment
  • YA and the Shame Game
  • A Young Adult Author’s Fantastic Crusade to Defend Literature’s Most Maligned Genre
  • When in doubt, call in a woman
  • The Racism Beat
  • Slave Labor in the Thai Fisheries
  • Coverage of Ta-Nehisi Coates’s “The Case for Reparations” This is a pretty amazing list of responses to Coates’s amazing piece of journalism. This sort of thing is so much work, too.
  • Ta-Nehisi Coates, author of the Atlantic’s June cover story on reparations, responds to four common arguments against them
  • The Washington Post Misused the Data on Violence Against Women Imagine that.
  • Notes From A Boner Why is the word boner so funny?
  • Animating the Ladies: Ubisoft fundamentally doesn’t get it
  • “Girl Hours”, by Sofia Samatar. Oh, oh, oh wonderful world that has such poetry in it.
  • This makes me happy. And so does this.
  • Oh, heck. This, too: John Moe’s Pop Song Correspondences: Concerning, Jon Bon Jovi, Wanted Dead or Alive.
  • And, in a “I am probably a bad person” way, this: William Patterson’s Robert Heinlein Biography Is a Hagiography (last I looked, though, it appeared that the comments were full of people commenting in response to the Heinlein-signal)
  • Finally, a delightful fan fic about a drunk octopus and his ocean pals: Texts From Cephalopods
