Sunday Linkfest!
Nov. 21st, 2010 09:58 amHappy Sunday! I have a proposal to refine and find a working bibliography for (which looks to be on affect and RaceFail, woo) and then it's back to work on my novel and playing catch-up (or getting-ahead), plus readings. I spent last night procrastinating on my novel with my proposal, and only proposal with pop quizzes for my tutorials. Which I think I should have been doing all this while. Also, the Health and Embodiment conference was nifty! My guest is now gone back to Chicago and I met some neat peoples. I also learned new words (like "hormonormative" and "cripistemologies") and found out very interesting movies I need to look up.
Anyway, links! First, some things that involve deadlines:

Jemima Aslana rants about Islamophobes creating problems in the system that affect a lot of other people.

The Pronoun Problem: How To Say It Right
Ruby Bridges, the first girl to attend a racially-integrated school (well, by law) in U.S. tells us her story 50 years later.
bfp has a look at historical pictures of Martin Luther King in context.
"Voluntourism" actually harms the regions it actually wants to help. Who'da thunk, turns out intentions are worthless when matched up to effect.
Do you live in the White Chamber? (If you're right, chances are, you're probably in it more often than you care to be.)
Maysie explains just why the Maclean's article "Too Asian?" was fucking racist, yo.
Racialicious' Latoya Peterson reads, reviews and ruminates on Condeleeza Rice's memoir. This is one Republican to respect.
Short fiction from Lightspeed Magazine: Hwang's Billion Brilliant Daughters by Alice Sola Kim
Amal El-Mohtar interviews Saladin Ahmed.
Tami writes in support of feminist bloggers.
Also via ithiliana, NYT on "Digital Humanities", or, using digital media to pull together large fields of study in the humanities, because the powah of technologee is AWHSUM.

An interview with Zumra Nuru, leader of the Awramba Community that does its best to be the society that we should all be able to have. More than anything, I think this article demonstrates how oppression is deeply-ingrained in systems, requiring a commitment in how to live and think, and shows a lot of hope.
A 6-year-old boy orphaned and stigmatized by AIDS. With a chance for adoption.
A dude protests against being advertised to with misogynistic, hypersexualized imagery from a suit brand. Good on you, dude.
Why Modern Brides Wear White (essentially, because Queen Vic did), which seems apropos to link to in light of Prince William and Kate Middleton announcing their engagement. They're so... well, not cute, but sweet, because they're obviously grown-ups. I wish them well.
A Little Pony you won't soon forget.
Mrs. Stephen Fry has released a book.
Cutting boards with built-in bowls.
Sliding walls that can really change the space of a small apartment.
And finally, Google's Boutiques.com has a fun quiz. My personal style is apparently Bohemian.
Have a good week!
