Sometimes Facebook isn't evil. Just found a photo of Patty & I from the wedding we went to in Chicago over the summer.

  • Trash day links on LfT: http://lettersfromtitan.com/2011/01/14/yummy-yummy-trash-day-goodies/ are very crowd funding focused (support photography! eat a cup!). (now updated with a completely ridiculous link to a video of a subway rat that I forgot to include until just now).

  • A gay Arab dance club in NYC.

  • The new season of Big Love is starting! It's my favorite. Somewhere I have a post about why I sort of get Nicki, but I can't find it right now. Anyway, show!

  • Stellar writing meeting last night, both on the book and on a screenplay.

  • Feel super unmotivated in this space right now, so off to the work work!
  • I just unsubscribed from the local HP mailing list, after being a member since 2007 and having professional reasons for maintaining my involvement (also, yo, I like Harry Potter!), because I was mocked and insulted after posting a question about an event (not hosted by the group, I don't think, but by the NYDA (an HPA chapter, I believe) that stated for a fashion show about "celebrating all types of beauty" what they meant by "you must cosplay as your own gender" in their model call and who was going to be deciding gender identity for said purposes.

    Predictably, several people conflated sex and gender and were then insulting and mocking.

    Considering I've WRITTEN AN ACADEMIC PAPER, that I have delivered at both FAN AND ACADEMIC CONFERENCES about how Snape is a queered character who represents female heroism in the series, I could just spit I'm so mad.

    Fucking fucking fucking fuck.

    *ANGRY*

    I'm gonna go watch that video of that rat climbing on that dude on the subway until I feel better.

    ETA: Head of mailing list is being super cool to me in trying to handle issue. Thumbs up! I'm impressed.

    Meanwhile, I thought I unsubscribed but apparently didn't! Now I'm one of those people on the Internet who can't figure out how to get off a mailing list! Ugh!

    More rat video. Yes.
