Rock Your Body Politic

Today is the 37th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade! If you've got a moment, you can read about this (incredibly important) ruling here and here. If you've got several moments I encourage you to read about the Stupak Amendment (part of the current health bill) which, if passed, would actually restrict women's access to abortion and other health services.

If you've got lots of moments, I've got some music for you! Planned Parenthood of North Texas put on a fantastic anniversary concert in Dallas last night - the venue (The Loft) was great, the organization efficient, and the bands really amazing.

First up was Something Fabulous and the lovely Jenna Sky (not actually a band). I was late and didn't get to see them (woe!) but I am sure they were great.

I have such a crush it is ridiculous.

( Actual bands - The Happy Bullets, Young and Brave, Giggle Party, and Girl in a Coma - under the cut. )

'Rival Queens: Mary Stuart And Elizabeth I' on Stuff You Missed in History Class

You all need to go listen to this podcast (you can also find it on iTunes) and then come back and tell me if Mary/Elizabeth AU rivalslash is a great idea or the best idea. Go on, I'll wait.

Better yet, anyone know if it's already been done? As profic, maybe, or on Yuletide?
