Linkages, Excellent Weekend
My ladyfriend's visit was great, I have more energy now. I'll get up the last of my Cosplay and Sewing Week ("week" is something of a misnomer now I realize) either later today or tomorrow. I think I might start babbling about science and videogames for the remainder of 3W4DW.
Here's a pile of links.
- Animation blogs that inform, teach, and inspire.
- Nice gothy tarot deck
- Inclusivity, or another reason why roller derby is my favorite sport to watch. Not perfect, of course, but really it is my favorite sport.
- Teenage bedroom. A tumblr with pictures of old (or current) teenage bedrooms. I admit I have something of a fascination with them, as I remember mine was basically my mind thrown up on my walls.
- Educational games that teach computer science. Since one of the projects I'm on right now deals with computer science careers, this caught my attention.
- Occupation, Empire, Rebellion: A History of Libya
- Real life Tony Stark thinks we'll be on Mars in 10 years. I am skeptical, but hopeful.
- The Smurfette Principle
- MMO Schooling. I certainly hope we can figure this out.
- What Does Equality Mean These Days?
- How to watch movies in the theater for free. Since I no longer know anyone in the local theaters anymore (they have since moved on to bigger and better things) this might be helpful for my movie addiction.
- Lollycopter. Another upcycle designer I like.
- Uncle Scarecrow. One of the reasons I love the comic Namesake so much.
- Poor countries and piracy. Or media companies are just not getting it. Again.
- Yarn bombed bike racks.
- Bad Reputation's Fairy Tale Fest. A look at fairytales in a feminist context.
- The Class War that Dare Not Speak Its Name. The longer I'm out of school, the more liberal I seem to get.
- On Femmephobia and Geek Subcultures. The post she's responding to is also well worth a read.
- Roll a D6. Fantastic parody of "Like a G6".
- A Brief History of Videogame Music. Inspired by Bear McCreary's work on SOCOM 4.
- The National Endowment for the Arts is now accepting videogame submissions for grants. For realz.
- The Finch: a cute robot for science education.
- Tentacle scarf.
- The Smithsonian will be doing an art of videogames exhibit. Saving up to go see it, thankfully I have time.
- Ladies, put some pants on, you're keeping the mens from religion!
- How to shop at discount stores without looking cheap. YMMV on this.
- Of Another Fashion. A tumblr which is collecting the history of fashion in regards to US women of color.
- A wonderful Inception fanfic featuring a FTM Eames
