First, a Cute Picture.
I believe it's called "Jesus Loves the Little Goths". Thoughts? Commentary?
Via Naamah_Darling:
One more reason why the US "health care" system is really, really, really fucked up. This will make you really freaking mad. Note: Deals with "rape as a pre-existing condition" and, as such, may be triggering for you.
From Corey Doctorow:
Now, you all know I'm all for hiring sex workers[1]. But was this really the right time and place for a corporation to shout "lapdances for all"?
Yahoo hires lap-dancers to entertain at its open, inclusive Hack Day event. 'Cause all the guys are Obviously Het and all the gals are Obviously Non-Existent. Wonderful. :-P

< ahref="http://disabledfeminists.com/2009/10/21/the-negative-side-of-positive-thinking/">The Negative Side of Possitive Thinking. I linked (I think) to a similar post by Naamah_Darling a few days ago[3], but this sums it up really nicely, too.
From Geek Feminism:
Yesterday was Ursula K LeGuin's 80th Birthday! Have we mentioned that she's frikken awesome? :-D
Note: Amazon would like to read her latest book, Lavinia. I think the title character sounds cool. ;-)

From Caveat Lector:
The sickening grunch -- About what it *feels like* to get cat-called (especially unexpectedly).
Department of Random:
Scatter the Seeds and Stand Back -- On growing amaranth from seed. Apparently it's really easy to thresh (albeit winnowing is a bit of a pain 'cause the grain is really, really light).
- TTFN,
- Amazon.
[1] Although I don't know how strippers get hired in Taiwan or how voluntary their employment may be, as this varies not only from country to country, but from person to person.
I don't know how many of those particular gals think about their jobs in terms like "Sweet! I get to make a mint doing something I enjoy!" vs how many of them are doing the work because their families sold them off to pay the rent[2].
[2] Which may or may not happen in Taiwan, but does happen in, for example, Thailand and Laos.
[3] LJ only.
