sihaya09 is assembling a list of resources for how to discuss social justice issues. Got suggestions? Follow the link.

Civil unions in Hawaii are on a potential veto list. If no action is taken, the unions will become law on July 6.

Oh for fuck's sake: Obama may veto the DADT repeal because of wasteful spending stuff in the rest of the bill.

A year ago Neda died.

I was negligent yesterday and did not mention Juneteenth, which is the oldest commemoration of the end of slavery in the US. I'm sorry.

"Affordable" boutique hotels in NYC. We're still talking room rates of about $200 a night, but what you get for what you pay is better for the ones on this list.

Things I am excited about: Baz Luhrmann (World Directors) by Pam Cook, mainly because she had extensive access to the Bazmark archives for this.

There's about four hours left to vote in writerinadrawer round 4.02. As of now, there's apparently a 4-way tie. If you like Torchwood fanfic go check out these little morsels (all stories this week are 300 words of less) and vote.

Last night on Buffy: DISGUSTING SKIN-EATING DEMON! Invisible Willow (see, see, Willow/Giles, I'm telling you!) and girl who knew she was going to die (whose performance I loved so much. Brilliant casting there).

It's amazing that the DADT bill isn't watered down enough already without Congressional Democrats sliding a poison pill in there to be safe. I've said before that this was a meaningless bill just to appear vaguely progressive, but they'd apparently feel safer yet voting for a meaningless bill and then making it unpassable. I can't wait to see Obama's surprise when he gets heckled again for not using his political force to embiggen a part of his constituency.
