Y HELO THAR, failboats! Back again so soon? *facedesk* Seriously, 2009, I want my refund.

+ Regarding this idiocy on HuffPost, yeloson breaks it down for great justice. (There is also some massive twitter!fail by the HuffPost writer, but it is so ridiculous I'm not even going to bother linking.)

+ BBC: should straight people face execution [on the basis of their sexual orientation]? No? THEN FFS, STOP PRETENDING LIKE THIS WAS AN ACCEPTABLE QUESTION TO ASK AND FIRE WHOEVER WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT "DISCUSSION" POST.

+ In less-head-exploding news, sheafrotherdon has a great post up about historical AUs and what it means to take certain liberties in the context of power and privilege. The discussion includes some details about a specific holiday exchange story, but is definitely applicable to wider contexts.

+ A Remus/Sirius rec that totally sweetened my ragey day: It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah, by crooked! OMG, SHE IS KILLING ME THESE DAYS. &hearts rs_small_gifts recs to come when I have more time to poke about; for now, I shall retreat to my Yuletiding.
