Quileute men are not shirtless and prone to violent resolution of disputes.
Quileute women are not passive and subservient (three of five members of the Tribal Council, including the chair, are women).
And you can find a lot of Native...

my heart just stopped. i just read on a feminist site a (presumably) feminist say “What’s the point of feminism if feminists don’t believe people can change?”—and this was said about a man who attempted to murder a woman, who has abused women, who has slept with women students, on and on and on and on….
What’s the point of feminism if feminists don’t believe men who try to...

Gundane said he hoped that his involvement with the song would turn him into an expert on British politics and economics in the same way ‘Do they know it’s Christmas’ had turned Geldof and Bono into the world’s leading experts on Africa.

Tech Startup or Pokemon? →
ihavechortles:
fluiddragonfly:
urrg one wrong!!
just because I’m not as good with the newer pokemon
I got one wrong because they misspelled “Gligar” and made me thing it was a SNEAKY TRICK QUESTION and that “Gilgar” actually was a startup.
This assumption of mine was false.
Along the same lines: Web 2.0 or Star Wars Character? (from wayyyy back in the day) and Cheese or Font.

Larissa Sansour got a previous mention here for A Space Exodus. Her latest project, Nation Estate, sounds really awesome too:
Nation Estate depicts a science fiction-style Palestinian state in the form of a single skyscraper housing the entire Palestinian population. Inside this new Nation Estate, the residents have recreated their lost cities on separate floors: Jerusalem on 3, Ramallah on 4,...

Over at Amazon, Jeff VanderMeer interviews Haruki... →
Amazon.com: Some reviewers are calling 1Q84 a dystopian novel, no doubt because of the title. Is this the correct entry point for the reader, in your opinion? You don’t strike me as an overtly political writer.
Murakami: I don’t think of this novel as a “utopia” or a “dystopia.” Since you brought that up, this world itself in which we live is a “dystopia.” Right now I’m writing this in the...

I love that these are the first sentences of this novel. Because she did lose an arm. But she lost so much more.

Bibliophile Stalker » Essay: Awareness and Bias →
Charles Tan describes how he attempts to compensate for hidden bias while curating science fiction links.
…As of mid-April of this year (if you examine the archive of SF Signal Tidbits, you can identify the trend), there was a conscious decision (arbitrary just means unconscious bias) on which author interview was at the top of the Tidbits.
I’ll be frank. There’s a lot of...

Re: my last post—!!!
I will keep you posted as infrequently as possible, because my love life is so off-topic it ain’t even funny. We return to our regular scheduled program tomorrow.
ETA: Things have been a bit slow because in the real world, it’s municipal budget time, and I’ve got live-tweeting to do. What are these “holiday parties” you speak of?

I have a CRUSH and I’m kinda scared to ask her out even though I know she likes me even if she doesn’t, like, like me but also scared that someone else will ask her out first because she’s pretty awesome and normally I would be wibbling about this on Twitter but we follow each other on Twitter.
She doesn’t know about Tumblr, though.
Ahhhh, Tumblr. You’re always...
