So, I wrote a bit about transplanting from one place to another, my thing for multiple appendages and POTC Davy Jones, and my language deficiencies.
Interesting reads from elsewhere:
Racialicious:
Did any of you guys watch the Jeffersons? In 1977, an episode featuring a transwoman aired. In 1977, ya'll.
The ever-present writer question: Is "writing what you know" limiting or authentic? Especially in the face of MammothFail.
Mainstream media ignored Delara Darabi, a 23-year-old woman who was executed in Iran because she was raped when 17.
So, Jon & Kate Plus 8 - is Kate fetishing the Asian race?
An interesting image.
From Feministe:
The high cost of poverty - on how poor people end up spending more than middle-class.
Feministe Feedback question: How do I negotiate race in my neighbourhood?
Apparently perfect use of the withdrawl method is about as effective as condoms.
Dumb radio talk show host decides to get a dig in at Michelle Obama by calling her a man. Yeah, because making fun of women by calling them trans is high-larious.
At Shakesville, Melissa McEwan writes eloquently on expecting more from people. It's why we blog, it's why we write, it's why we get angry, and it's why we try to change the world. We can't expect the world to be better if we don't expect more from people.

dolphin__girl talks about a class during her teaching degree in which the students had to talk about race. It became known as Yelling Class. As with everything, it's raw, it's messy, there're no right answers, there's no good way to deal with the issue, so when nolan_ash asks me what the solution to discussing race peacefully is, I can't give an answer, because there's no good way to confront people with their problems and privileges without a great deal of angst and pain suffered by all parties.
mystickeeper has a ton of 101 links on privilege.
A post from Aqueduct Press on Cultural Appropriation in the fantasy genre, from 2007, but still relevant.
A transwoman's post on seeing her vagina everyday. What we ciswomen take for granted, transwomen have to work hard at.
Historiann presents a series called Lessons for Girls.
