This was the week that would not stop happening. I hope you are all safe and well and supporting any and all police-reform strategies in your communities.
ON THE PLUS SIDE, if you are in LA, please come to The Last Bookstore tonight at 7:30, where you will see Roxane Gay and self and various other Bad Feminists reading up a storm.
There were periodic updates from Ferguson, Missouri, each one more horrifying and routine than the last. A lot of people there were incredibly brave. It’s good not to look away.
Somewhere in publishing, a designer is weeping softly
I finally fixed the only flaw in The Devil Wears Prada using Ayn Rand
Sulagna Misra taught us a lot about history through the careful deployment of Captain America-themed Tumblrs
what if a malt shop was sinister
I cannot tell you how much I love it when Nicole gets crisp to someone who deserves it in the comments
Long-distance marriages! I didn’t know they existed. Now I do. And I will never ask anyone in them an intrusive question.
This review of Like No Other was wonderful and I think it got a bit lost in the shuffle due to this week’s newsworthiness. Worth checking out and discussing, if you didn’t get the chance the first time around.
OKAY EVERYBODY COME TO LA AND SAY HI TO ME TONIGHT

Yay badass feminists reading things! Oh, to live on the West Coast. Sad face.
Also, because I have to share this: I am the recipient of a sewing newsletter (it’s a great source of fabric, especially for you fellow nerdy/geeky types, so get thee to Spoonflower.com ASAP and buy everything), and they have been doing A Month of Drawing (doodling, for me) Challenge. Today’s Prompt?? TOAST.
BEHOLD THE POWER OF TOAST.
That is all. Have a great weekend, Toasties!
SPOONFLOWER YES. They are so expensive, but for us cosplayers it has been a LIFESAVER.
I love to use them for small crafts, because then I can afford to buy a fat quarter or two, rather than yards and yards of fabric. And their occasional great sales are rabbit holes for me. Love them.

Argh, the one time so many awesome folks are in LA and I’m sick 🙁 Having a cold in Southern California is bad, but this is TERRIBLE.
You should go to El Chato while you’re here! Best al pastor burrito ever: http://www.yelp.com/biz/el-chato-taco-truck-los-a…
If I had a million dollars to charter a jet to fly to LA tonight, I would. The idea of seeing Mallory, Roxanne Gay, and other Bad Feminists is the only thing that would keep me from doing what I’m actually going to do which is barricade myself in my house, eat my body weight in questionable food choices, and pretend that the rest of the world does not exist.
That sounds like a pretty good second best
I’m saying a long-distance hello from San Diego! “Helllloooooooooooooooo.” If you can hear men at all, that is. I suspect you may have tuned out our frequency, and that is well and good.

I will be there tonight for Mallory and Friends! And I'm SO. EXCITED.

Sorry, Mallory.
