- Every synapse is sacred from one of my favorite webcomics, Indexed (Venn diagrams on index cards).
- Mary Anne Mohanraj and Jed Hartman have posted an online guide to critiquing fiction. The guide is specifically geared to Clarion-style workshops, but I think it makes some excellent points for considering another person's fiction.
- Mary Anne Mohanraj also thinks that for graduate degrees in some of the arts, if you're paying a lot for it, you're doing it wrong.
- The above item is especially interesting, considering how I've heard mutterings that Gov. Scott Walker's plans for the UW System schools means less tuition remission for grad students. Okay, that would be UW-Madison and UW-Milwaukee, which are the two campuses with lots of graduate programs.
- Paul Krassner wrote an op-ed piece on Susie Bright's blog about current events, why speaking up is important, and how we all make mistakes. Mentions, among others, the Grateful Dead, Cairo (Egypt, not Illinois), the Koch Brothers, Scott Walker, and Sandra Day O'Connor. Warning: Krassner is not known for leaning to the right.
- Susie Bright on Why lying about monogamy matters, taking down Ross Douthat's op-ed piece in the New York Times.
