Update(s)

I keep posting things with the intention of posting them locked and then forgetting. This is not clever.

Getting Rid of All The Things Update

( Clothes! )

( book! )

And that is where things are now. I'm very content.

Here are some links to things:
meloukhia sent me this: Titanium, from A Very Official Blog By An Expert: Infoes You Can Trust. I expect reference papers to come in any day now with links to this blog.

oursin's linkspams always have interesting stuff. Here is the latest (or at least it was the latest when I opened it, who knows by now). Oursin is awesome and lovely, and my one goal in this lifetime is to host a Histor-tea at WisCon so I can have tea with her and some other people.

Check out Susanna Fraser's website, which, as the ladies at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books pointed out, is the best author website ever.

Speaking of which, The Politics of Desert Romances is up at Teach Me Tonight, which is an academic blog that writes about romance novels. This particular entry is about the tropes and the like in Desert Sheik Romance Novels. I found it a bit more readable than some of their other academic stuff. (This is likely because I am not an English Graduate Student, and I don't have time to read romance novels anymore, woe.)

I recently started reading the Paladin Advocacy Blog, which I only learned of when they started following my history-based twitter account [@historyagenda - it is very dull and full of occasional love poems to Archivists]. (No, I don't know why that one and not my one where I actually talk about disability advocacy. But I'm not objecting.) Their agenda is:

Lack of effective public policy and political will has allowed Canadian institutions at all levels to deny Canadians with disabilities equal access to full citizenship as guaranteed in our Charter. Despite what our politicians tell us and the rest of the world, systemic discrimination is an everyday reality in Canada for most of us living with a disability.

The way to right this wrong is through real advocacy, political will and law.

The Paladin Advocacy League ( PAL ) is a recently formed, not-for-profit society which advocates for public policy changes which will provide Canadians with disabilities equal access to the equality provisions of our Charter. Actions speak louder than words.

They're updating a bit sporadically right now, so I don't know how long-term they will be.

Honestly, I can't wait for classes to start up again, if for no other reason than the library will be open till midnight again. I need my evening study space, damn it!
