The weather is a trap
Aug. 12th, 2008 09:54 pmIt is cool enough outside that yet again I have the AC off and my windows open. Clearly the weather is trying to trick me somehow.
In the meanwhile, links. Not many so no cut:
I know at least one person on my flist would want to know that Actor Joe Kudle of "Puke and Snot" passed away recently.

ladybug218 brings us links on dealing with panic attacks.
Fans of steampunk may be interested in this discussion on celebrating a time in history that might not be worth celebrating, especially for people of color.
I admit to having as much of a problem with "HOW DARE YOU DO SOMETHING THAT MIGHT VAGUELY ENCOURAGE GIRLS TO THINK ABOUT POSSIBLY HAVING SEX?" as I do with "GIVE YOUR DAUGHTERS THIS MEDICINE... UNLESS YOU WANT THEM TO DIE." Salon talks about those very issues as they relate to the safety of Gardasil.
You've probably heard by now that China pulled a Milli Vanilli with the little girl who performed for the Opening Ceremony. Many have pointed out how horrible it is for the little girl who was hidden from view for the good of her country. Not as many have pointed out how bad it is that the 9 year old that they showed was given the lesson that all she was good for was looking cute. (Not to mention how she's now been tainted as the lip-synching faker.) It sucks for both girls, is what I'm saying. And wow how stupid on the part of those responsible.
