Starred Posts
Figured now (when I’ve been remiss on posting) was a good time to highlight some posts from around the ‘blogosphere’…
- Trans-Related
- Transsexual Ferox posted a number of questions about her “doubts, worries, and questions” from before going full time as a woman, and her responses have given me a lot to think about. I want to write a whole post about this at some point, but I’ll settle for linking to it for now.
- Random!
- Stuff White People Like’s post #115 Promising to Learn a New Language which struck a little close to home for me… =P
- From the Official Google Blog, a story about how they constructed a zip-line to get across a stream divding the Google campus… I sort of can’t get over how much I love this concept… (Particularly working an an organization that could pretty easily set up a zip-line. That’s probably how I should start getting down from the grid in the gym.)
- Last, but not least, a bunch of politics links
- FiveThirtyEight.com has a piece about Prop 8 and to what extent California’s black and latino populations are ‘to blame,’ and that “(at) the end of the day, Prop 8′s passage was more a generational matter than a racial one.”
- The Yes Men distributed a fake New York Times paper announcing the end of the Iraq war
- Pam’s House Blend talks about some of the great the ads against Prop 8 that weren’t run during the lead-up to the election….
- Bilerico has a post called “The queers are upset that I’m not an upset queer,” which I find particularly interesting because it echoes a lot of what G has said about how she feels about Prop 8
- Feministing had a link to these amazing pictures from the Nov 4 Obama rally, and another post with a round-up of election responses from various places
