Sunday Linkfest!
Hello all! I have just finished a major overhaul of my MRP and will be working on fine-tuning things like transitions and explaining myself further on my next pass.
Anyway, here are a shitload of links because so many people were saying so many goddamn interesting things this week.
Signal boosting for:
Female To Whatever, looking for submissions for their first issue!
Critical Psi Theory
Indian Residential Schools Survivors' Society
A day-by-day update from Mother Jones.
Stuff from UK bloggers: Penny Red, John Yossarian, Will Wiles, gherkinfiend, Black Acrylic (with vid).
Here're a buncha things from various Tumblr people: readnfight, robot-heart-politics, guerrilla mama medicine, BFP, transcript of the BBC interview interrupting Darcus Howe by feministsuperpowers (and then the BBC apologized), anedumacation.
A thing on the history of riots in Victorian London, so people can acting so surprised that such a civilized place could descend into barbarism.
Eyewitness observer of the riots in Salford.
A thing about the riots cleanup. This one makes me feel squickly because it kind of portrays the cleanup as an all-white thing. There're other things too but I can't place my finger on what.
A Malaysian student was beaten up and stolen from by rioters.
Socialism And/Or Barbarism's Open letter to those who condemn the riots, Part One and Part Two.
Love women in comics? Then pay them.
The Economist on The Disposable Academic
Tasmania wants to deport a 96-year-old woman who could die on the flight back to the UK.
How America Made Poverty a Crime
Web 2.0 isn't the digital democracy we were all hoping for
American Indians feel the effects of climate change at a higher rate than other groups
An interview with Zambia's first woman presidential candidate
The Secret History of Guns
An MLK speech for future reading
"Kathryn Stockett is not my sister and I am not her help"
Gender for Kids: The Discussion So Far
Ridiculing the Israeli Seige: #SeigePickupLines
There is a little discussion on race in spec fic here. Little. Not that much fail thus far.
A restaurant is growing its own produce on the roof.
Two discussions on Harry Potter: one on disability at Rose Lemberg's, and one on the effects of child abuse at Cat Valente's.
Malaysian-specific! Group of Malaysians writing articles on the influx of African groups into Malaysia and what that means for us. I'm sure at some point there will be actual African voices talking about the challenges of trying to integrate into a racist society rather than being filtered through.
And finally, ending with a fucking bang, BFP talking about what we mean when we talk about structural issues re: the heteropatriarchal white supremacy of the States.
Happy Sunday!
