Things what I saw at work today:
- one (1) mouse spleen, the size of a finger
- one (1) mouse liver, the size of two fingers, from the same mouse (which was somehow not of completely abnormal size, and also, a control animal as opposed to an experimental one. UM.)

I am fascinated, in a sick and horrified sort of way. Also, I need to think about something else, so have some links!

+ In case anybody hasn't already seen this: Five+ Ways Being Transgender in Fandom Really Sucks, and Why I Stick With It Anyway, by [personal profile] iambickilometer. Also re-linking to Khaos Komix here, because trans characters need more love.

+ Via [livejournal.com profile] stephiepenguin, The do's and don'ts of defending Muslim women (and linked from that post, Western feminists don't understand Muslim Women).

+ [livejournal.com profile] yeloson's Let me be honest for you (on The Last Airbender) is made of win.

+ A MATH POEM posted to [community profile] forkedtongues today (BINA AND AVE, I am looking at you two! ;D): Nieśmiały cybernetyk potężne ekstrema/Love and Tensor Algebra, by Stanislaw Lem.

+ [personal profile] ciderpress has an intriguing list of BBC audioshows up!

+ The lovely [livejournal.com profile] sheafrotherdon is kindly hosting a FLAIL PARTY for The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, so if you have read it and want to squee in company, hop over! I know what I'll be doing in, oh, ten minutes. :D

+ And finally, a question: has anybody ever read Beyond Black by Hilary Mantel?? A paperback copy has mysteriously appeared (no, really, none of us know whose it is) in my house, and I would like to get opinions before I read it as my to-read list is far too long.

I read Beyond Black a couple of years ago, and had mixed feelings about it. I loved the beginning and the end, but got extremely frustrated in the middle - it just seemed to meander around in its own misery.

I was left feeling that I needed to read it again in order to really get it.
