Reminder #1: About six hours left before the
gen battle closes. So, you know, if you haven't written something, you might want to try now.
*cough*ME*cough*
Reminder #2: If anyone thinks something like
this is okay, get the hell out of my LJ, I'm not even kidding. Seriously, who does that? If you're not okay with the internet being a place where people enjoy some semblance of anonymity, get the actual fuck off the internet. If you think outing people is completely acceptable behavior for when someone disagrees with you, get out. If you don't get why people being attacked for identifying racism is bad, leave.
For the rest of you, maybe I'll finally come through with that Awesome Children's Authors and Illustrators of Color post I keep meaning to write up. Looking at Kadir Nelson and Christopher Myers pictures don't FIX anything, but they definitely make me less angry. Someday I will do a Race in Reality Television post, too, but I do not have the spoons for that right now.
Reminder #3: LOLOLOLOLOLOL SURVIVOR. I had forgotten a lot of things about the Africa season (mostly how Lex goes absolutely insane and also the essence of Big Tom), and while I don't think it's the best season of Survivor by a long shot, I am enjoying it a lot.
Also, I'm watching it while I read Watchmen (I am slow but enjoying it! by which I mean it's entertaining but I can't keep track of characters, which should not surprise anyone), and- come ON. How great would Real World: Watchmen be? It's the true story! Of seven maladjusted heroes! Picked to live in a house and find out what happens when people stop being super and start being real! :D? :D?
So, I'll just be over there, then. Talk amongst yourselves.
