Sunday Linkfest!
Jul. 3rd, 2011 11:24 amHello peoples. I hope your weekend is going better than mine. (On the bright side, at least I'm not surrounded by people telling me I have nothing to feel depressed and suicidal about. And I managed to evade the conversation with my dad quite neatly when he called last night.)
First, some time-sensitive things!
Normal Mailer Writing Award for High School Teachers if you know any!
Calling all desis! Call for submissions: an Anthology of South Asian Queer Erotica!
And if you're in Malaysia, Sharon Bakar has a call out for Readings for Readings, an anthology of Malaysian writing.
My second poem at Kakak Killjoy, btw, for the Clarion West Write-a-thon!
The Celebration of Colonization in Canada. Happy Continued Colonization Day, Canada! And you too tomorrow, USA.
At the Pursuit of Harpyness, the Harpies are talking about how talking about circumcision isn't really about circumcision. I posted it for the picture of Foreskin Man.
A look at how pubic hair disappeared, and its ramifications.
A fantastic must-read, but TRIGGER WARNING for violence: How Violent Sex Helped Easy My PTSD
Skinheads attacked a Native family from the Indian Sparks Reno Colony in Fernley, Nevada. No charges pressed, enough though the attackers went on Facebook to brag about attacking the family later on. Here's a petition to tell the governor of Nevada to investigate why they got off scot-free.
Myths that sustain the US GOP.
via Moniquill: 4 Reasons To Change The Way We Think About School, and from there, a PDF of Deliberate Dumbing Down of the US education system.
Sadomachism: Not About Condemnation - An Interview With Audre Lorde
Problems with Kutcher and Moore's Anti-Sex Slavery Campaign
A list of medieval Arab lesbians and lesbian-like women. (PDF, link goes to abstract) I haven't read it yet but someone else may find it interesting.
Rethinking the Marriage Institution.
America, the Scapegoat... on how the rest of the world can think it can put aside its racism problems because America is the Worst.
What It's Like To Watch People You Like Demean Women
An important note from Pink.. I didn't realize Pink and Carey Hart got back together! Apparently their divorce was never finalized and they decided to give it another shot. They're my favourite celebrity couple, because they're just so chill and awesome and clearly in love with each other and best friends (the same way I like Prince William and Kate Middleton's relationship). Anyway, they have a kid now.
A little graphic story: The Prince And The Sea
New Crossed Genres issue!
A pretty gift for those with few spoons.
A cool Tumblr to follow: I Am So Goth I Was Born Black - FUCK YEAH GOTH WOC.
