  • Poor Patty has jury duty today.

  • If you want an abortion in Okalahoma, even if you've been raped, you will now need to watch an ultrasound of your pregnancy and basically be told how cute your baby is. Not cool.

  • Lovely article from a straight, cis-woman engaged to a transman that gets to so many things about gender and love and expectations and everything else. via [livejournal.com profile] usullusa.

  • Mississippi high school pretends that lesbian who wore a tux in her senior photo never existed. The school claims there is legal precedent to support its decision.

  • Haiti, now that we've started to forget.

  • New York City as a lab for nearly-lost languages.

  • I'm messing around with ad.ly in Twitter. We'll see if it's good/evil/weird/useful. I do like that I can approve or deny each individual advertiser, versus just the category battles I have with Adsense.

  • Last night it was back to Angel Yet again, the guy who plays Wesley is such a good actor. I feel like he got cast in Buffy because he was funny and looked just right for the part and then they discovered he was AMAZING and he sort of became the go to guy when the whole thing with Glenn Quinn went down. Because SO AWESOME. He can turn on a fucking dime.

    Meanwhile, the problem with the Darla plotline is that I don't actually care about her, nor do I care about Angel's obsession with her. I do care about Wes and Cordelia having to put up with Angel's obsession with her, however.

    I thought "The Trial" was extremely well done, but in the last test thought it got kind of obvious. Of course it was about accepting death to win life. Whether that was the right call (eventhough it worked) for Angel to make though is highly debatable. The tester wasn't wrong that Angel probably has a greater contribution to make and while a man can't decide who's life is more valuable, someone who is Leading a Team Against Evil -- well that's his fucking job, you know? But that all worked out.

    EXCEPT IT DIDN'T! Holy crap, I thought Darla accepting the symmetry of her life and death was so lovely and then fucking Dru shows up! Holy crap.

    Also: I hate Cordy's new haircut, but the Wolfram & Hart slimeball's new haircut is awesome sauce.

    Finally: Why is David Boreanaz a better actor when he's playing Angel acting, than when he's just playing Angel?
