Link Sprinkle

I have RL stuff to deal with at the moment, so mostly this post is a collection of links I find fascinating. As always, [livejournal.com profile] rydra_wong is awesome for finding all of the links! I just find the ones I think are most relevant and put them in an order that is useful to me. Hopefully when I have time in a few days, I can write a post of my own.



WTF IS GOING ON

A timeline in a comment made by [livejournal.com profile] sparkymonster



ROFLcopters
Kathryn Cramer has used a pseudonym on the Internet! LOL!

Despite turning EVERY ARGUMENT EVAR into a discussion about class politics, and how racism doesn't matter as much as classism, AND ESPECIALLY DESPITE learning where various LJers went to college and then somehow using slight of hand to insinuate that their opinions about race and class no longer matter if they come from a background of financial privilege....Lo! Will Shetterly keeps himself poor so that he does not have to pay taxes! LOL!




Why these people fail.

The politics and deconstruction of "outing."
[livejournal.com profile] vito_excalibur: Once More, With Failing

[livejournal.com profile] veejane on how this shitstorm is indicative of the "old guard" of the SF/F fandom handing over the keys with a huge tantrum.

[livejournal.com profile] coffeeandink: kicking some major ass.

[livejournal.com profile] shati on how people's race and backgrounds are playing a role in how people are treated in this, RaceFail 9000.

[livejournal.com profile] yeloson: Engaging in Violence

[livejournal.com profile] maerhys: Beyond Me To We: On Usernames, Legal Names & The Internet

[livejournal.com profile] raanve has an exchange with Kathryn Cramer, in which Cramer acts heinously. Her logic! There is no sense there! As noted by others.



How to Derail the Fight Awesomely

[livejournal.com profile] darkrosetiger is collecting links to fanfiction about characters of color in Stargate: Atlantis over at [livejournal.com profile] deadbrowalking

[livejournal.com profile] tacky_tramp: Turning us to the posts that actually discuss cultural appropriation!

[livejournal.com profile] springfluff is a fandom exchange with no deadlines or administrative pairing-up of people. You just post requests for fanfic, fanart, icons, interpretative dance, whatever. And people can provide for the needs of others at will. A lovely way to destress!

[livejournal.com profile] inaname is now open for submissions.

[livejournal.com profile] nextian: Post what you want from media, and others will tell you where to find it. AMAZING.

[livejournal.com profile] 50books_poc is a great community to add to your friends list! Even if you, like me, are not doing the challenge of reading at least 50 books by people of color in one year, it's a GREAT way to get all sorts of book recommendations!

[livejournal.com profile] sparkymonster with a picspam of hot men of color. And I do mean hot.

So, if nothing else, we know which side of RaceFail 9000 has the most fun.

The internet should come with a warning! Beware all ye who would get work done today! Abandon all hope ye who enter here!!
