I need to close some tabs...

...so I might as well make a linkpost. I've had some of these tabs open for over two weeks, so it's probably high time.

Someone posted a link to a post on this blog Single Dad Laughing, and it was so good that I found myself reading the whole thing.

A couple of feminism links next, because you know what I'm like:

I just want to go for a walk writes avflox. Don't I have a right to do [that] without having to stop and listen to people who feel compelled to speak to me when I haven't invited it? Unfortunately, "no" is rarely an option when a woman is approached. Saying "no, thank you" -- especially without a very carefully worded and perceivably good excuse -- will result in yelling, insults or unwanted physical contact. This is my experience, and that of many other women.

Can you tell the difference between a men's magazine and a rapist? I couldn't either.

Ages ago, Rachael on The Social Justice League wrote a post on how to be a fan of problematic things. I wish I could print it out and give it to all the people who repeatedly say 'It's just a story, why can't you enjoy it?' (as if stories are unimportant, as if enjoyment is only possible if one looks at things with completely uncritical eyes) to me. I'd never encountered that website before, and found myself reading everything, because it was awesome.

Speaking of problematic things: Glee. Just Glee.

So that's what I've been reading.

'Stuff goes mad on the peripheries'

As the year is about to end, I'm going through my old organiser and trying to work out what I need to transfer. I'm an incorrigible scribbler, and the book is full of random quotes, brain-vomitings and other stuff that make absolutely zero sense unless you know the context. I decided to transcribe some of it here, because it amuses me.
