Here's an interview with lyschan (Lys Blakeslee) on making a living as a manga letterer. ^_^ Lys is lettering one of the series I'm adapting these days, and I'm so happy to (finally, it feels like!) be working on a series with her!

This Penny Dreadful casting spoiler pleases me. But not as much as this casting spoiler for Agent Carter (the second person mentioned).
I really like
princessofgeeks' review of the Captain America: The Winter Soldier DVD.
Apparently Book 4 of Korra is going to start coming out next month? O_O
seascribe posted an adorable kitten video, which led me to this other adorable kitten video, which is a time lapse of a litter of kittens aging from newborn to fifty days.

I forget where I was linked to "'Exotic' is Not a Compliment". "To describe one as exotic is to imply that the subject in question does not belong and leads to another question - exotic to whom? There is a certain gaze, a certain expectation, a stereotypical type of appeal drawn out for such women: the spicy Latina, the buxom Africana, tasty mocha skins of South Asia, mysterious Middle Eastern eyes. Such beliefs and expectations are endless, objectifying, and otherising. It must be noted that the objectifying nature of “exotic” is not only restricted to women of colour. It also applies to men of colour, to cuisines, customs, costumes and entire cultures."
Via Tumblr, "23 Female Cartoonists On Drawing Their Bodies". This is fantastic.
Via several people, a post from last month: "Confessions of a Male YA Author".
Via Tumblr, and also from last month: "Girls Ruin Everything: Stephenie Meyer, Lois Duncan, and Childhood Nostalgia".

Via gaminette, Audible is currently offering The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, narrated by Tom Mison, for free.
rachelmanija, co-author of the upcoming Stranger, is creating a website for the series that Stranger is kicking off. As part of that, she is, as the title of the post says, "Crowd-sourcing Recipes of the Apocalypse". The post includes a list of food/dishes mentioned in Stranger, and she says: "Since I know a number of you cook, I invite you to create a recipe from the book. If you’re interested, pick an item (or as many as you like) from below the cut, create a recipe, ideally photograph the result, and write out the recipe. I will put it on the site and credit you under whatever name you like. I’m fine with multiple recipes for the same dish, so more than one person can pick the same dish. No payment, so only do this if it sounds fun. And please feel free to link if you have friends who might have fun with this.
Depending on how geeky you want to get, this is after the apocalypse in Los Angeles, so in the book, all ingredients are either locally grown or imported from the surrounding area. Rice is a rare delicacy, and tea is not available at all. (Coffee is grown in Santa Barbara, and is moderately expensive but widely drunk.) Local grains are wheat, corn, and barley. You can either ignore this limitation or work with it, up to you.
Note that one of the characters is an experimental chef, hence some of the weirder dishes."
