Things I am grateful for:
Mar. 19th, 2008 11:11 pm-Queer women. I don't think I could have had my point proven more spectacularly: a community of queer women, and interesting, gender-thoughtful people generally, is a great and marvellous thing. Thank you, all of you; eighty-plus comments and I'm still responding to comments and reading and thinking. I am, for some obvious and some non-obvious reasons, reconceptualising the queer at the moment, and thank you for your experience.
(Relatedly, the nice folk over at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
lgbtfest were soliciting queer-aware fic recs in advance of the ficathon, and I found this little gem. Out of the Cupboard Under The Stairs, by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
magnetic_pole, HP, gen. A sweet little coming-out story, very nice.)
-That I do not live in Oklahoma. Notable links of the last couple of days: some lunatic Republican in the Oklahoma state legislature thinks gay people are worse than terrorists; the smartest thing anyone says in response to this is said by a seventeen-year-old boy; meanwhile, you can pass Earth Science exams in the state of Oklahoma by claiming the Flying Spaghetti Monster created the earth an hour ago. Ye gods.
-Randomly, Vienna Teng.speccygeekgrrl uploaded "Whatever You Want" and yes, there really isn't a song of hers I don't like. I uploaded these for jacinthsong, but for anyone who wants to grab: "Shasta" (this is awesome), "Drought", and Say Uncle".
-Oxford! I'm off out bright and early tomorrow morning, and by lunchtime should be back in the land of dreaming spires, and dear me, thank god for that. Apparently my lovely friends have been setting fire to things in my absence, which I thoroughly disapprove of (without me? forshame), and I really can't wait to be back even if it is just for a couple of days.
Which means I can't say, without seeming disingenous, that I'm taking part in the Friday LJ boycott, because I wouldn't be posting anyway - I won't get back until very late on Friday night - and besides, I'm not entirely sure I endorse the idea anyway. I'm not really in the mood to discuss LJ's latest fuckwittery, though, because I need it - LJ, not its fuckwittery - to help keep me sane for the moment. No more on that.
That's it. See lots of you soon.
