And now some actual backlogged linkspam
To go with that last post from a few minutes ago, some of my already-sorted link backlog:
Fandom/Geeky Things
"This Sesame Street “Les Miserables” Parody Wins The Internet". [Buzzfeed]
incitata posted "A Beginner’s Guide to Buying Digital Manga". [Panels.net]
"An inside-look at a Tokyo voice acting academy".
"Terry Pratchett's Hogfather Is the Best Defense of Christmas There Is". [io9]
[Heads-up to
wildpear, Ginny, and Kas!] At
thisisteen, Maggie Stiefvater shared "a peek into the scene at 300 Fox Way during the holidays" (from last year).
Cute
"Bunnies Play Hide and Seek in the Curtains".
"This 3-Week-Old Pygmy Hippo Is The Cutest Thing Imaginable". [Buzzfeed]
"Meet Bilbo Fluffins the Cat Found Under a House by a Kind Man. See His Journey Growing Up!"
"Vancouver Island dog obedience class's unlikely participant: Four-month-old pet pig Rupert was sent to classes because his voracious appetite resulted in some bad manners".
"20+ Of The Fluffiest Cats In The World".
Social Justice
"White Debt: Reckoning with what is owed - and what can never be repaid - for racial privilege", which I encountered in a tweet that says "This essay by Eula Biss is difficult to summarize and impossible to forget."
"Jury Duty" begins, "There are twelve of us left. The first thing the prosecutor did during voir dire was ask all the men of color whether we trusted cops. Every black man had a story: police harassment, spurious arrests, intimidation. They were all eliminated. I was asked if I had any experiences of this kind, and I said no. It was the truth. Perhaps this was the time to mention that having witnessed the murders of Eric Garner and Walter Scott on video made personal experience unnecessary. I didn’t mention it. / In the end, only two men of color make it to the jury, and I am one of them. The other is Latino. There are two Latina women, one African-American woman, and one Asian woman. The remaining six jurors are white."
"Shifting Focus: How To Honor Instead Of Shame Our Bodies".
"To my white male Facebook friends: A plea to the good guys in my world to stop being so defensive and listen to other people's experiences".
