  • The Circles of Literary Hell As far as I’m concerned, people who judge other people’s reading choices are the same kind of people who loftily claim they don’t watch television. Or they only watch educational programs.
  • More on the so-called “death” of historical romance: Can a Genre Die?
  • Aim for the Middle (Oh, and Also, There Is No Middle) This is wise and wonderful.
  • An Equal Right to Fail
  • The Fragility of the Everyday
  • Escape Has A Destination But It’s Never Far Away (via) Interesting read, inspired by Foz Meadows’s piece at A Dribble of Ink from a couple of weeks ago.
  • Break the YA Monopoly — Give Us Female Heroes for Adults and then there’s this rebuttal: On the Non-Existent Lack of Katniss Everdeens in Adult Fiction So many thoughts! Still mostly half-baked! (Clarification! My ideas are half-baked! No one else’s!) Also very interesting that the original post is nearly a year old–why the sudden response?
  • The Truth Of Wolves, Or: The Alpha Problem
  • Remembering a geek feminist ally: David Notkin, 1955-2013
  • The Xenogenesis Trilogy by Octavia Butler – Many Thoughts I wish I were going to WisCon so I could go to this panel.
  • Just How Far Will She Go? Nicole Wolverton’s The Trajectory of Dreams Wonderful review of my friend Nicole’s book.
  • What if people told European history like they told Native American history?
  • Being white is awesome, so how could we be racist?
  • Alice E. Kober, 43 – Lost to History No More
  • Mummified Body of Author Found in Home Over a Year After Her Death
  • River of Souls, What If? Beth Bernobich talks about what Therez’s life would have been if she’d decided to stay instead of running. I’m so looking forward to Allegiance, the last book about Ilse and Raul in this particular incarnation.
  • Ask N. K. Jemisin Anything – The Interview
  • Please, don’t make fandom look bad.
  • The Hawkeye Initiative – Special Guest Edition: The Hawkeye Initiative IRL!
  • My Little Brony: ‘I will tolerate the crap outta you’
  • Years later, cop reunites with suicidal man he saved on Golden Gate Bridge
  • Stealing beauty – the curator who took priceless piece after priceless piece
  • DOJ Places E-Book Price-Fixing Blame on Apple
  • If you build it and they don’t come, then what?
  • Love this so much:

Finally but certainly not least: this was Donna’s last week as a regular here at the Radish. I am going miss her posts and I know I’m not alone. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner than Donna in this particular endeavor. And thus, for her, a lighthouse. She knows why.

    Stealing beauty: not sure what more there is to say beyond BOO, CURATOR!
    But yay brony tolerance!

      Very much BOO, CURATOR! I can’t even imagine the thought process that goes into that kind of systematic theft.

    I do understand about the year-old response. There’s something weird about the Tor blog; occasionally it spouts articles from today’s date last year, and you don’t realize they’re old unless you read carefully.
