jhameiaLast weekend I was at CNSE so I didn't get to post the Sunday Linkfest, so this week it'll be two weeks' worth! And right now I have two baby squirrels that need tending, so very quickly, and I have to take them to school with me too, so I can get some work done.

5 Things to do before getting Gay Married
A mattress firm manager refused to sell to a Muslim woman. Manager has since been fired, but that's still ridiculous that it happened.
Tami talks about why online discussions about mothering and children are so contentious.
Mass resistance is useful This one focuses on geek girls in Perth.
s.e.smith writes so much I can barely keep up, but I really liked this piece on Causes and Cures that majority people look for to help 'fix' minorities. Ou also wrote an article on asexual BDSM for Three Weeks for DW.
Africa First Volume One, featuring four films from African filmmakers, is now available!! Pumzi is one of them!
London conference on transgender issues cancelled after complaints from trans people. Good. Any conference that wants to speak to trans issues and invites Julie Bindel deserves to get cancelled.
George Takei tells WB: Do the right things wrt Akira film casting. Seriously, how awesome is this man?
One of the first men to die from racist attacks after 9/11 was Balbir Singh. An Arizona bill passed to remove his name from the state's 9/11 memorial and sell the plaque as scrap metal. Whitewashing history indeed.
Nevidita Menon of Kafila.org did a very good takedown of the new ruling that women must wear skirts on the court from the Badminton World Federation.
Tenured Radical looks at how academic institutions hate trans people.
Check out Colorlines giving Beyond Victoriana a shout-out!!
Couple of reactions on Osama Bin Laden's death from the Angry Arab and some Portland racists.
More film stuff: Future States is a web series that explores what the US might look like in the future. Racebending has a list featuring POC actors and directors.
A doctor has a look at the medicalization of obesity that leads to fatphobia, and takes it down.
One in three Africans are middle-class. Now we should stop talking about Africa like it's a backward place. Actually, we should have done that a long time ago, but now you can have these statistics to bang people who refuse over the head with.
Scholar Muhammad Akram Nadwi has re-discovered an entire tradition of women studying and teaching the Quran and leading prayers, enough to fill FORTY VOLUMES. Let me repeat that, enough women to FILL FORTY VOLUMES.
And to segue us into less serious business, Mehreen Kasana's American-Pakistani feminist blog, filled with AMAZING AND AWESOME DOODLES and hilarious observations on USAmerica and Pakistan.
What are Spaghetti Agents?
Paper doll princess makers. I like the variety, but it could be more varied!
Zleqha: AWESOME HIJABI FASHION. I'm not crazy about the names but still.
Oh, hey, it's my friend Melissa Grey, writing a blog on nerd chic feminism and this post focusing on makeup for those of us who are bespectacled.
Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray is going to get republished... and this time with some of the censored bits back in.
The Saboteur Awards have a shortlist, and Stone Telling and Goblin Fruit are on it!!!
Now for lunch, and off to school! Happy Sunday!
