Link Dump Post Is Link-Dumpy
ITEM! Small Beer Press is having a sale, and they are giving 20% of the proceeds to Obama's campaign. Great books and good feelings! Maybe even tingly ones, depending upon what bits you read and what sort of a person you are! Like, maybe The Mount is actually really popular among certain segments of the BDSM community. Who knows? (If you do know, I suggest that you do not tell Carol Emshwiller.)
ITEM! In SBP-adjacent news, Kelly Link's new collection Pretty Monsters is out today! Ooh! I am Ooh!ing because Kelly is an amazing short story writer, perhaps the best we have. Not only are these great stories, but they are illustrated by none other than Shaun Tan. Have you read The Arrival yet? Ye gods, why not?
ITEM! Getting back to politics, here's a link you might want to show to your friends in the military who support McCain because they think he supports them. Notsomuch, as it turns out. I confess, though, that even with these figures this is a topic I am reluctant to broach with my brother-in-law, a vet who's served two tours in Iraq. It's important to him that his service has meant something, and I don't wish to devalue it. But damn it's frustrating to hear him say how good Bush has been for soldiers when benefits have been cut to the bone.
ITEM! I had forgotten all about this video, and I am pleased to be reminded:
ITEM! Speaking of videos, if you are at all a fan of zombie stuff, you need to watch this short film. It's called "I Love Sarah Jane," it's about ten minutes long, and it's amazing.
