Belated linkpost

[dolorosa_12]

I haven't had internet at home for a while, so I'm just now catching up on all my feeds, There's been a lot of interesting stuff posted recently, so I thought I'd make a linkpost.

Sarah Rees Brennan posted this thought-provoking piece about what it means to be an author and have an internet presence.

And then, for a total change in tone, she wrote a hilarious liveblog of Teen Wolf, making it sound so funny that I might be tempted to check it out.

Catherynne M. Valente posted about how she was fed up with arguing about ebooks.

She also wrote about the misconceptions social conservatives hold about 'women's work', and the supposed golden age of pre-industrial times.

sophiamcdougall made a Romanitas playlist. I geeked out.

Here's an article from Rolling Stone about the effects of global warming in Australia. I found myself nodding away to pretty much everything being said.

It's been said before, but it needs to be said again: unpaid internships are exploitative and perpetuate inequality.

Our forum interviewed Philip Pullman.

Finally, I blogged about the start of the semester in Germany.

Catherynne Valente is one of my new favourite authors. I've read five of her novels in the last couple of months and highly recommend all of them. If you enjoy her blog, you should definitely give her published work a chance!

Oh, I'm almost positive I'd enjoy her books. The problem is getting hold of them. I can't afford to buy books, and for whatever reason they don't seem to be at any of the public libraries I use.

(Incidentally, how did you find this blog? I'm always curious as to how people find their way over to my little corner of the internet.)
