I have 2 DW invites and an AO3 invite, if anyone wants/needs them. (Just comment if you want them, first to comment gets them, yadda, yadda - you guys know the drill.) I also have rambling notes/thoughts on how my English degree made me break up with books, kink, sex-positivity & fandom and assorted thoughts on my own sexuality, but none of those ( Read more... )

Building off of my post from last year, I come bearing more recs for 14valentines day 9: Gender. Mostly non-academic this time, although if you'd like further reading and you've read all the things that I suggested last go round, may I humbly suggest Sexing The Body, Imgaging Transgender, Second Skins or My Words To Victor Frankenstein Above the Village of ( Read more... )

So you might recall that last year I did a week of comfort fic recs for make my flist smile week (which went pretty well, if I do say so myself, even if we did get horribly interrupted by Strikethrough.) So I decided that, in honor of sdwolfpup's More Joy Day Two, I would do an update to that list! I hope that these fics bring you as much joy as they have ( Read more... )

First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY raedbard! *snugs you* I hope that you have a wonderful day ( Read more... )

So the encroaching blackness on my computer screen that necessitated my dropping out of art for heroes_bigboom just keeps getting worse. So, since I suspect that this poor laptop won't last much past Christmas, does anyone have thoughts on Windows Vista? In an ideal world, I'd be getting a Mac, but in an ideal world the Macs wouldn't cost twice the amount of PCs ( Read more... )

So this? Is quite possibly the cutest thing ever!

I meant to point this out yesterday, but my darling technosage is a wonder as always, and brought the pretty out to play! And don't forget to peruse the comments - people were being REALLY nice to me, and playing along in the comments!
