jhameiaHi folks! Here is an attempt to get back to regularity in Linkfests.
An open letter from America's Port Truck Drives on Occupy the Ports
The Estrangement of Trans Gay Men from Cis Gay Men
In that vein, Monica Roberts writes about Chasing Pseudo Cisprivilege.
Gender relations in pre-independence Sub-Saharan Africa
A family's effort together to help their daughter transition
Did ya'll read "If I Was A Poor Black Boy" by Gene Marks? Yeah, it was rubbish, wasn't it? Dominion of New York and ColorLines have responses.
Ohio landlord decides to make pool "whites only"; fights discrimination suit. *rolls eyes*
Apparently it is "too soon" to build a pixelated cloud twin towers apartment block. I think the design is ugly, but seriously, this is Seoul, not New York.
Nnedi Okorafor receives racist award, deals with it
Ta-Nehisi Coates writes on Muscular Empathy, a kind of thinking that doesn't try for exceptionalism, and instead of says, "I would have done X," asks instead, "Why wouldn't I?"
A PDF from Black Mesa Indigenous Support describes the culture of white supremacy, identifying the behaviours and attitudes which allow supremacists to thrive. Here's a HTML version.
moniquill has a cool thing about Native Steampunk. And while we're still on steampunk stuff, steampunk Emma Goldman has a thing on dieselpunk alternatives that don't rely on fetishing fascist fashion. Yes it is a thing no I do not know why.
Fantasy Armor and Lady Bits -- neat and informative on how armour works.
New book on Postcolonialism and Science Fiction is out. It is ridic expensive (FIFTY. POUNDS.) but I've been told the Amazon version will be cheaper.
There's a photo going around of women firefighters from Pearl Harbour. here is a story about them.
47 year-old television signals are bouncing back to Earth. Original broadcasts of TV shows from back then! And of course we're recover some Dr. Who. Of course.
And finally, some appreciation of Mother Nature's efficiency: Smithsonian researchers have found that tiny spiders have brains in their body cavities.
