I blog about Second Life and happy things on Sunday on my blog Prim Dolls.

I just joined Fallen London and need friends! Deoridhe here, Deoridhe there, Deoridhe, Deoridhe everywhere...

Oh he would be peeeeeeeeerfect~! I've always loved her sarcastic notes about him falling for Catherine due to her admiration of him - and how even if this is unbelievable, at least people will give her credit for being original.

Northanger Abbey is one of my favorite Austen's, though P&P is high up there.

This is where we talk up our favorite podcasts, right? 8D

I'm an Isometric/Rocket girl and I picked up Unconsoleable from them - it's a two woman podcast about games on their phones and such, and then I found Way Uncool, which is the story podcast of one of the hosts. I also listen to Vector, via one of the hosts on Isometric.

A Way With Words (mixed gender) is about language and words, and I just started listening to the Allusionist which is also about words but shorter and one woman.

Rachel and Miles X-Plain the X-men is one I love despite not actually reading the comics; their enthusiasm is infectious and makes me happy.

Metis in Space is kind of what it says on the tin - two Metis women who watch media with Native Americans/American Indians/First Nations characters in it and then respond. Alcohol is involved. It is awesome. They're on a channel focused on the same communities called Cowboy and Indian, and I also follow Stories from the Land from them.

The Read, which is just... awesome. My life. Through them I found Spawn On Me, FanBros Show, and GameEnthusiast which I'm more mixed on but still often enjoy.

#GoodMuslimBadMuslim is a really interesting podcast by a couple of Muslim women talking about their experiences and suchlike.

My requisit NPR humor: Ask Me Another and Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me.

Inquiring Minds from Mother Jones, which is mixed, generally about different aspects of science and the news, and Note to Self about our relationship with and response to technology.

Via their websites, I've started listening to DBSA - Dear Bitches, Smart Authors and the Cracked Podcast. The latter is mostly men, but it's one of the few where that rarely bugs me.

GROUP WEDDING

Thank you for making #yesallwomen. Thank you for being so honest about the effect of being that truthful. Thank you for wanting to create a space where we can all be safe and free. I'm so sorry it caused you so much suffering, and I wish so much I could comfort you. I hope you can be in the world as you want to be for the rest of your life because you're wonderful.

I think I'm a little bit in love.

Mark + FEELS + UNPREPARED = My OT3 5evah

This is my favorite book; I've easily read it twice as much as any of the others. I love both the dark side of the Circle coming out and being conquered and DAJA OMGOMGOMGOMG

Even though we often think of racial discrimination as if it all fits in one box (or, indeed, all kinds of discrimination), the reality is that people can be very limited in their scope of view when it comes to prejudice, and sometimes people battle one kind of prejudice by using another (for example, the white suffragette's using racism against black men who theoretically could vote in order to highlight their lack of a vote).

It's also entirely possible for Gracie to have fallen in love with Jake and defied her family and still be antisemitic, even. We tend to compartmentalize the people we grow to care about, especially if it's a non-visible characteristic. I have had a sexist man be sexist around me then reassure me that I was the exception - it happens.

I actually, for all her faults, really like Gracie and see her as this sort of embittered, calcified caricature of a social climbing woman with a warm and fun loving woman inside that got lost among the bills.
