long-ass post is long

Took my final for Soviet Secret Police today. I think I did well - there was one "identify this document excerpt" that I swear I had never seen before, but it was a small part of the test.

I foresee using this icon a lot while I'm in New Orleans this summer, and I need to upload one of the "emphasizin ur POC" icons as well.

I have missed my one-year anniversary on Dreamwidth. But it was because I had papers to write, so I will just commemorate it now.

1. via Racialicious: Queer/Race: Intersections of Queerness and Race in Queercore (note to self: buy a bigger ipod)

2. via shira_links_feed: The Pervocracy: The Myth of d20 Sexuality

3. resonant links Pooh and Piglet's house plan, as drawn by constance.

4. EFF: How to Opt Out of Facebook's Instant Personalization (I'm seriously considering deleting my Sofia Blackthorne facebook account - I'll leave the [legalname] account up because it's largely empty and I want something to come up on google besides a French graphic artist. But I'm not sure how dependent I am on the event-scheduling feature.)

6. via three_weeks_for_dw: torachan: Transfic Mini Fest prompts now open; posting begins on Monday. Also, transfic.

7. On that note, three_weeks_for_dw starts Monday! I probably won't contribute anything until the middle of the week, because I have to write the paper for my honors seminar, but. (I could post stuff from that paper, and/or some of my other papers-for-class. I've written some nifty stuff in college.)

8. Racialicious: Where My Sistas At? The Underrepresentation of Black Plus Size Models in Mainstream Fashion (I wish I could have cited this in the paper I wrote for my soc class, but I had to turn that in a couple of days ago.)

9. factfinding!!! academia!!! history!!!
