effex* Signal Boost: delight needs help paying bills for hirself and hir family.
* I've recently added two news sources to my regular feeds - Colorlines and ProPublica. Colorlines covers 'race, culture, and organizing', Propublica does in depth investigative reporting. Both are fantastic.
* Remember the protests at the Toronto G20 Summit last year? The CBC's just released a report on the civil abuses/police violence that went on.
* On Racialicious - Support Planned Parenthood. Three reasons to stand with Planned Parenthood.
* On Tiger Beatdown - The War on Reproductive Rights: A Recap
* A week ago, 15 women and 2 men (all of them veterans or active duty servicemembers) brought a federal lawsuit against the Pentagon based on rampant sexual assault within the military. My sister was offered a spot at West Point when she graduated high school and we did our damndest to talk her out of it. This is one of the reasons why.
* Also on Racialicious - Paul Rudd Fondles Eva Mendes for Laughs; Rosario Dawson Fondles Paul Rudd for Feminism

adsartha has been posting link roundups and first person reports of the protests in Wisconsin.
* When Fangirls Attack has a massive roundup of Dwayne McDuffie memorial posts.
* In honor of MCDuffie, Project: Rooftop is holding a redesign contest for Static. I likeoxboxer's concept a lot (but I always like oxboxer's concepts).
* On Colorlines: A Food Crisis Is Coming, But Urban America Already Has It Solved
* Sady Doyle has a Tumblr piece up on Aaron Sorkin, The Social Network, West Wing, and general douchiness.
* Ta-Nehisi Coates has a literary crush on Jane Austin and it's awesome. I've never read her books (I tried P&P once, but it was too dry for 12yr old me), but this makes me want to.
* The Slacktivist blog is moving to Patheos. I love the Slacktivist, he reminds me that all Christians aren't horrible and/or uninformed about their own religion (bitter ex-Christian right here, oh yes). He's been doing a series of posts on Hell that I've particularly enjoyed. I also highly recommend his ongoing dissection of the Left Behind series (which I read in it's entirety as a preteen, joy).
* From Terry Pratchett's blog: There has been one hell of a lot of rumours regarding a Good Omens adaptation over the past few weeks, mostly started by me at the SFX Weekender. So, ladies and gentleman, I can hereby exclusively reveal that - YES - Neil and myself have shaken hands and received groats from Rod Brown sealing a TV deal. At least it's not a movie?
* Check it: Donald Glover as Spiderman. This would have been the best thing ever, Donald, you will always be my Spiderman.
* Speaking of Donald, did you know Troy and the rest of the Community crew have Twitter accounts?
* Comics types, you know about the Super Dictionary, right? Then you'll understand why this made me choke on my oatmeal this morning.
* Mutatos - The Mutato-Archive is a collection of non-standard fruits, roots and vegetables, displaying a dazzling variety of forms, colours and textures, that only reveal themselves when lawfully enforced standards cease to exist.
* How far away is the moon?
* This is just cool - Tiny Spheres Turn Regular Microscopes Into Nanoscopes. The Future, we're living it.
