from ever_neutral , who knows I am powerless to resist the r-word
1. Comment with any ship from a fandom that you know I have some knowledge about.
2. I will rant about aforementioned ship. This may be incoherent gushing or exclamations of disgust, depending on what it is.
3. Put this on your LJ, if you are so inclined.

and also

• another poll showing that a majority (and by a healthy margin) of Americans support legal recognition of same-sex marriages. this is how we win.
• Foreign Policy in Focus contextualizes the Strauss-Kahn case with the irresponsibility of the IMF's loan requirements concerning women's human rights. and, you know, the whatever from high atop the thing bless that woman for the incredibly courageous choice to come forward, because she wasn't the only one, but it's also raised a long-needed conversation that we've had before and will have again, but it's a little better ever time. this is how we win.
• Sara, of Tegan and Sara (<3 <3 <3) writes about misogyny in popular music. "It is not without great hesitation and hand wringing that I enter into the discourse about Tyler, the media who glorifies and excuses misogyny and homophobia, and the community of artists that doesn’t seem remotely bothered by it. I can only hope that someone reading this might be inspired to speak out. At the very least, I will know that my voice is on record." this is how we win.
• I always recommend Greenwald, but as an intellectually honest American legal journalist he's rarely an upper. Today's post on the New York State Attorney General, however, is very encouraging. this is how we win.
• 10 Questions with Chaz Bono. Mostly pretty insulting and 101 type questions, but Chaz is tough and put the reality of transitioning out there for the world and is doing his best to make things a little bit better. this is how we win.
• George Takei fights back against the TN Don't Say Gay Bill. this is how we win.
