placeholder linkspam,

while I am recovering the ability to brain. *g*

Signal-boost: access_fandom will be kicking off its first fanworks festival!

Festibility is a fandom festival accepting all kinds of fanworks (fic, meta, art, icons, podfic, vids, recs, picspams, drabble sets etc) about disabled characters. Works can focus on canonically disabled characters or canonically able-bodied characters that you reimagine as disabled. Pieces can be as long or short as you like.

The fest is running from July 15th to September 15th (and I for one would love to see an explosion of Toph and Teo fic... *coughs* ;D). Keeping an eye out for the prompt post!

Also, things discovered via network browsing:
- fera_festiva's Steampunk Gaga! Lyrics-rewriting never fails to make me loonface.
- rachelmanija's post on Very Bad Poetry. *cackles forever*
- Letter to Monsanto about its “Gift” to Haitian Farmers (totally adding Repeating Islands to my reading list.)
- My Great-Grandfather Was a Slave
- And, linked from the previous, Frederick Douglass's What to the Slave is the Fourth of July? OHAI, things what I never read in any US history class! My goodness, I can't imagine why that is. -.-;;
