The sound of the wind up here is ridiculous.
It's so very, very bleh outside, and I have to go out in it eventually, but not yet! Not yet. Which means after an unwanted hiatus (I have to get better about managing "freelance" tasks when I have guests), I finally can share my latest Things I'm Verbing. I'm really proud of Direct action, dirty hands and Asian-Americanness; all the stories in ( Read more... ) -
So much for to-do lists, there's an entry to post!
I have this easily digestible list of things I want to get done today, but now that I look at it, none of it looks very fun. (It's stuff like breaking down paid freelance work, novels and other projects in 25-minute chunks, or organizing piles of random ephemera I've carried through at least three moves, or figuring out how to use up some ( Read more... ) -
I know that word because of an SPN big bang I wrote in 2009.
Today was supposed to be my make-up lunch with a friend I was going to ask about some career advice, but he had hand surgery on Friday and is still recovering, so no trip to Williamsburg for me. It is, however, literally perfect outside for a bike ride, so I will probably head off after lunch, because like hell I'm missing this probably devastating ( Read more... ) -
One other plus: got my favorite cookie from Panera at lunch.
I successfully survived jury duty selection day! I also narrowly avoided being seated on a jury that could have listened to a case for an extremely brief amount of time, given one verdict, or a much, much longer time, given the other. I told the lawyers that I was too financially insecure to lose up to a month of income, so... many apologies, civic ( Read more... ) -
We know what happens next.
It's International Holocaust Remembrance Day; I've made up links with that in mind, including why Jews need allies today, how to resist without burning out, where you can get 1984 for free and what Jack Kirby thought of punching Nazis.
I also urge you to look to

Too bad Ezra Pound was kind of a bad man, but the poetry's good and basically fitting.
Today has actually be quite nice. I had a good cry this morning, I really enjoyed this week's West Wing Weekly and I cleaned some trouble spots in my bedroom that have been a problem for more than a year, which Mom surely would have appreciated. The plan was actually to go on an epic bike ride down to Coney Island and then up the western shore of ( Read more... ) -
I think "Whoop-De-Doo" is actually his official title.
So the next issue of Nazi Captain America comes out today, and spoilers released yesterday confirm what people who know comics, the same people Marvel head honchos and writers have been sneering at for being movie fans who don't understand the traditional rhythms of comic book storytelling, have been predicting from the beginning - that in fact, ( spoiler, if you care. ) -
Who's strong and brave, here to save the American way?
I'm on standby waiting to find out if [outlet] will let me write about this Hydra Captain America nonsense for them today, but if you've missed it, well. It's so gross. Some prime tweets and tweet threads not to be missed:- From

Whammo!
I'm like... distracted, it's been such a full and good few days. Hmm.
Thursday
Discovered not only a pretty amazing and heartbreaking Bucky+Winter Soldier vid, but discovered through some link-clicking that the (!!!!!) minor key version of "Star-Spangled Man" that accompanies it has tabs at the YouTube link. Obviously I need to get into more of ( Read more... ) -
Too many links. Too many saved tabs. Send help.
Oh my god, what are the links I can share so I can pare down my One Tab? It's at 948 links now, most of them probably Tumblr posts I meant to either reblog eventually or engage with the media therein. That's not actually the right way to spend a nice-looking day like this one, but I'm going to do some baby steps. These have no rhyme or reason!
