Thought I'd rec this here, since I think it's a great idea.* I'm always inspired by art, and I'm so glad that this time, the artists can do the inspiring (and get the pretties for their work).

This rec is important to me. Check it out:

A Clarification For The Privileged by noracharles

"When you use mental health to judge who are right and who are wrong in a disagreement, you are not just arguing for your opinion, you are also contributing to the oppression of all people with mental health issues (including those who agree with you ( Read more... )

I just found out about the community pike_winnie. I know a lot of you guys are Pike/Number One, but if you aren't (or if Pike or Winona are your fandom little black dress) I encourage you to check it out. It's new, so it needs some more posts and members.

So go join and enjoy!

I don't know if fics have been getting more touching lately, or if I've just been more inclined to cry. Either way, almost half of these brought tears to my eyes. Also, it's been awhile since I've done a massive rec post, so it might be a bit bulkier in some areas than I'd intended. So I guess that means more recs for a single click. ^^

New Required Reading: "In Defense of Lily Evans" by randomness

So, I found this essay through Fandom Wank, and man, am I glad I did. In it, randomness goes into all of the points that make me want to hit things when it comes to the Lily and Severus relationship. Rarely do I see Lily given the kudos she deserves for being one BAMF, but this essay goes a long way in ( Read more... )

My Latest Musical ObsessionMan, I fucking love Paramore. I got their new CD the day it came out, as a soundtrack to my road trip, and I adore it. So many of the lyrics speak so strongly to me, reminding me of who I am and what my experiences were through life. It's nice to see that reflected in music, by someone the same gender as me. I love male ( Read more... )

Okay, I'll admit that I've been lurking on the SEE Trek Love forums. And yeah, it's been painful. So much so that going there sends me into fits of rage, so much so that my wife jokes about blocking the address from my computer, so much so that after the latest thread I ended up pacing for half an hour deciding what to do ( Read more... )

This time I included which ones were NSFW - yay! And I had way too much fun putting this together. The joy of making a rec list is that when I sit down for it, I get to re-read, re-watch, and relive the joy that comes from the best works in the fandom. So no matter how bad of a day I've had, reccing things can make me feel better. ^^

Well, I'm sure some of you are sick of hearing about this. The thing is, this personally effects me on pretty much every level I can think of. I'm going to follow this thing to its bitter end ( Read more... )
