Feb. 27th, 2015 01:06 am* His news letter advocating hunting and killing black men in the '90's so I'm not sure why his racism is a surprise. "Ron Paul connects war, black lawmakers, and food stamps:" http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/ron-paul-connects-war-black-lawmakers-and-food-stamps
* "The shockingly simple, surprisingly cost-effective way to end homelessness:" http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/02/housing-first-solution-to-homelessness-utah
* "Homeless man's garden of hope blooms on L.A. median:" http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-lopez-median-20150217-column.html
* "What John Legend said about slavery at the Oscars:" http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2015/feb/22/what-john-legend-said-about-slavery-oscars/
* "If People of Color Had 'White Fetishes':" http://everydayfeminism.com/2014/11/white-fetish/
* "Team Angry Cat:" http://seananmcguire.tumblr.com/post/112104078640/team-angry-cat
* "Black Trans History Is Inspirational:" http://transgriot.blogspot.com/2015/02/black-trans-history-is-inspirational.html
* I was a bit panicky yesterday due to lack luster bidding on everything but the Shark Tooth, but there was a last minute bidding war on the imps and a flurry on the partials, which was a huge relief. Everything is packed to mail. Now all I need is postage money to transfer to where I can use it to actually mail things.
* Where was I tonight? Djinni and MrBumblepants came over to record the first episode of our new Podcast. Djinni's going to edit and we'll do pick ups next week. The goal is to have a good buffer before we start posting them for real. I feel pretty good about it. It's conversational format. The first episode is mostly about why there is so much meat in the modern American diet, but also dinosaurs.
* I just read this as it had a Seanan McGuire story in it, this is pretty close to my fealings about it. "Dead but Not Forgotten:" http://www.fangsforthefantasy.com/2015/02/dead-but-not-forgotten.html
I would add that some of the stories attempted to match Ms. Harris' prose, which i think was a poor choice. The ones with smoother, more natural writing styles than the original series were generally better reads.
Note bene: I stopped reading the books at some point when I stopped caring much about the TV series as the books were not great and going steadily down hill, so I didn't know/remember everyone and if you are planning on dragging yourself to series end there are some spoilers. I could follow along fine without having read whatever number of books I missed at the end and I did have a decent time reading this despite a few duds. It is definitely more fun than whatever the last book I read of the main series was.
