Happy Mardi Gras, I guess: A Links Round-uP

The news right now is absolutely devastating, and any words of mine feel inadequate. I am saying prayers for trans kids and families in Texas, and for everyone in Ukraine (and Afghanistan, still; I have not forgotten about Afghanistan), and I am always on the lookout for ways to help, even though overall I feel very helpless. If you have recommendations of good places to send money, drop them in the comments! I continue to derive so much comfort from reading, and to that end I’ve got some links. I also recommend the brand new television show Abbott Elementary and…

Fixing the Great British Bake-Off: A Links Round-Up

Are you snappy with your loved ones? Incapable of focusing on a task, even by the unfocused standards of 2020? Well, don’t worry, because everyone else is in the exact same boat! It’s a horrible, leaky boat, and we all hate it here! Remember when there were nice things and we liked those things? How nostalgic I feel for the time of nice things, such as “seeing friends in different cities” and “going to the grocery store” and “not feeling miffed when I saw a stranger’s nose while standing in a building.” Hopefully by the time I do my next…

Down with Forgiveness and Also Ironic Detachment: A Links Round-Up

In case you’re thinking “hey where are all the JK Rowling sucks links in this links round-up,” the answer is that I am furious with her and so I have saved all of those links for last. In case you are not sure why I am saying JK Rowling sucks, the answer is that she said a bunch of nakedly transphobic things on Twitter and then when people were like “whoa that’s so transphobic” she wrote a like 3500-word manifesto about why trans people are bad, actually. So. Hell with her. She is an asshole. I never liked ironic detachment.…

OLD NEWS: A Links Round-Up

In an effort to appear Current, I am putting a more Current link at the top of this links round-up but it will quickly become apparent that a lot of these are old links because I forgot to post my links round-ups in a timely manner, and I am sorry. I have no excuse except that I just forgot about it on Thursday. Here’s a history of all the times New York Times opinion columnists wrote opinion columns about how unkind the internet is to New York Times opinion columnists. THE ARCHIVE WON A HUGO THE ARCHIVE WON A HUGO…

A slightly glum update (and a links round-up)

Hi everyone. Hi hello. I know I have not been answering your lovely comments or visiting your lovely blogs in the manner to which you have become accustomed. I’m sorry. I have been undergoing some life changes this summer, and although they are good ones, I have now been in flux for the greater part of four months, and I am reaching the end of my ability to cope with change. Or new information. Or new books. Or hobbies I enjoy, such as blogging. I am anxious like my head is full of bees. I am worried about the storm,…
