Haphazard linkspam, because I'll be spending the majority of the upcoming long weekend with a friend visiting from Singapore:

~ I am spoiled with Avatar love; [personal profile] crossedwires wrote a Sokka-and-Zuko bonding ficlet for me, me, me! xD We Can Make It If We Run is MADE OF WIN. &hearts

~ Also via [personal profile] crossedwires, Gene Luen Yang has a succinct comic of Why I Won't Be Watching the Last Airbender Movie.

~ N.K. Jemisin says Don't Put My Book in the African American Section.

~ On a related tangent, [personal profile] deepad's poll on the existential angst of book sorting has provided me with much glee, as has

~ this awesome Friend Like Me analysis by [personal profile] glockgal!

~ [personal profile] ephemere has posted a rough translation of Tabi Po, a gorgeous Filipino horror webcomic by Mervin Malonzo. *______*

~ [livejournal.com profile] lgbtq_recs is starting up soon! Signups are here.

~ Also- closing a tab so old I nearly forgot about it- this article on translating China has been prodding me toward thinky thoughts.

~ And finally, some more Remix! some more Star Trek, Good Omens, SGA, Narnia, Dark is Rising )

Junjou Romantica and Azula fics are coming up next, in whatever order I manage to finish them! I'll also try to do my book-blogging post before I end up adding my six new library books to it, but no promises. &hearts

for the 43 members of Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees Local 100, working at the Windows on the World restaurant, who lost their lives in the attack on the World Trade Center

Alabanza. Praise the cook with the shaven head
and a tattoo on his shoulder that said Oye,
a blue-eyed Puerto Rican with people from Fajardo,
the harbor of pirates centuries ago.
Praise the lighthouse in Fajardo, candle
glimmering white to worship the dark saint of the sea.
Alabanza. Praise the cook's yellow Pirates cap
worn in the name of Roberto Clemente, his plane
that flamed into the ocean loaded with cans for Nicaragua,
for all the mouths chewing the ash of earthquakes.
Alabanza. Praise the kitchen radio, dial clicked
even before the dial on the oven, so that music and Spanish
rose before bread. Praise the bread. Alabanza. )

In other news, I am still indecisive and need your input! My poll appears to be malfunctioning, so let's try this without the tickies: best haircut? )

Also, art rec for the SGA fans (via [livejournal.com profile] sheafrotherdon): Poetry in Motion by [livejournal.com profile] astridv, Rodney and Teyla. &hearts!
