Linkspam doesn't like these dark mornings
Link by way of James Nicoll: a review of a feminist utopian novel written in 1889. Coolness! This is the sort of thing I would want to have a Kindle for.
Um. This is Superman's new look? Seriously? Huh.
Something fun (and pretty!) to brighten your Monday: Karen Healey plays FCM (or Cliff, Shag, Marry) with Archie Kennedy, Old Spice Guy, and Alec Hardison. Awesome!
More pretty, of a different type: Refur's photography of a late-spring overnight hike on the South Island in New Zealand. Just stunning, and also funny. I wish I could photograph the way she does.

Note for later reading: Seymour Hersh on cyber-security as a national security issue.
The American Anthropological Association has links to articles on the 20th anniversary of the passage of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act.
Jessa Crispin on being a teen and object permanence.

I updated Carpetbaggers this weekend. Finally, finally, building to the climax of Chapter IV!
Man, this story. Every time I turn around there's more I want to fit into it, and each individual section gets longer, and each Chapter gets longer, and ARGH. It's getting imbalanced, and the revisions once this first draft is done are going to be difficult. It's fun, and I'm enjoying it, and I'm very glad readers are enjoying it, but it's like some kind of Hydra--every time I think I've resolved a plot-point or a theme, I realize that the resolution itself has opened up new issues that ought to be dealt with. Of course, much of that can be blamed on CS Lewis, who left world-building and plot-holes one could fly a fleet of C-130s through...

Huh. The Big Boss just called me and asked, out of the blue, if I would like to be nationwide technical lead for the program I help run. Given how stressed I have been about the reorganization and its effect on my job status, that is both a surprise, and quite reassuring.
