Fannish/Geeky Things
There's a trailer for the upcoming Ancient Magus' Bride anime! [YouTube, ~1 minute]
If you ever want the bat wing necklace Claudia wears on Warehouse 13, this is where you get it. [Via Allison Scagliotti's Instagram.]
"Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman to Host ‘The Handmade Project’ Weekly Series at NBC".
Via The Rec Center:
--"Full-body reading: Literary criticism taught me to scrub my feelings out of my reading, but a medieval mystic showed me how to put them back in".
--"Mary Sue: From self-inserts to imagines, how young women write themselves into the narrative". [Elizabeth Minkel]
Social Justice
"The List of Books Men Must Read Before Messaging Me About Feminism".
I may have linked this one before, but what the hell: "Men Just Don’t Trust Women. And This Is A Problem".
"A Conversation About Disability Rights in Education".
At The Establishment:
--"The Problem With Judging Other People’s Food Choices". [Sarah Kurchak]
--"‘It’s Because You’re Fat’ - And Other Lies My Doctors Told Me".
Cute Stuff
"You Haven’t Lived Until You’ve Heard Baby Sloths Having a Conversation".
"Watch: Corgi racing is more amazing than you would ever have imagined".
Miscellaneous
"The Folly of 'Purity Politics': A new book argues for the value of owning up to your imperfections".
A Twitter thread from
Delafina777, starting with "Okay, so, some thoughts about how multiple women in meetings can help each other be heard". (And from within that thread, we have "Donald Trump-inspired app counts how often men interrupt women" [Mashable] and "5 Nice Things You Do Daily (That Secretly Ruin the World)". [Cracked, 2014])
"Cat Anxiety: How to Recognize & Treat It".
"Tattoo Artist Who Lost His Arm Gets World’s First Tattoo Machine Prosthesis".
"Cats Are Actually Nice, Scientists Find".
Mallory Ortberg, formerly of The Toast, just started a TinyLetter newsletter. The first letter is called "'I felt like Salieri, or a dog watching TV: furious and hostile and confused': Bellowing about trees with Sondheim", in which she spectacularly fails to bond with Into the Woods. I adore Into the Woods, but not bonding with it is fair, I suppose (no, no, it's fair), and Mallory Ortberg is hilarious. "By the end I no longer hated anyone, not even myself; I desired only to be reconciled with all of humanity. I could not imagine leaving the theater, nor in letting any of the actors leave the stage. They were all my children, which meant they were also my beans, and beans are wishes, and dreams don’t exist."
