So I was going to wait until I had more happy things to post, but that is taking me longer than usual! Sorry. ;;

+ some linkspam from vi (not all related)
+ more links from the_future_modernes (not all related)
+ radicallyhottoff @ tumblr: 1, 2

» a miscellany (of fail)
+ fuck you, Jezebel, I roll my eyes forever.
+ ursamajor on United Airlines fail
+ heathershaped: loving the bad things
+ rawles: on the evaluation of the merits of problematic fiction
+ various links from crossedwires, jha, & unusualmusic on Amy Chua. Frankly, I don't know if I'll ever be ready or willing to talk about this in public. Either way, deepad's post has some good things to keep in mind.

» happy things:

+ sulu pour homme! QUICK, SOMEBODY GIMME AN OLD SPICE TAGLINE. ;)
