thebratqueenAs I sit here trapped in cat bondage (seriously, Mac is lying across my wrists like a pair of extremely dense yet furry handcuffs) and waiting for the debate to begin, I have time for some links.
There are many reasons to vote no on Prop 8 but on the odd chance you need ammo for any California friends or relatives who are tetchy about the definition of marriage, try this ad which explains why it's bad to allow amendments that take rights away.
Speaking of moving vids, there's the girl effect which totally made me cry like a little... well you know.
If you have old hardware that you're not using, how about donating it to those who can? Good for people, good for the environment. Which is also good for people since, yanno, we live here.
Hey, did you know the White House explicitly endorsed torture? Are you SHOCKED to discover gambling going on in this establishment?
According to Green Daily, Clorox Green actually works. On the one hand: go figure! On the other: We're totally going to find out it's made of people now or something.
Vid: John Cleese talking about Sarah Palin. Just in case you didn't love John Cleese enough.
Lifehacker suggests we should risk dweebhood by writing down our goals. I know of no one who might be dealing with this sort of issue. Ahem.
Lifehacker also recs these web tools for election season.
Obama would officially open combat positions to women. Which is significant in that women are already in combat positions, they're just not getting acknowledged (and compensated) for it.
Interesting article on our desire for privacy and how it's changed the sociological landscape. Speaking as one who enjoys my alone time like the off-the-charts introvert that I am, the historical aspects of this fascinate me.
It can't hurt to ask - women tend not to ask for things and this blogger has decided to try changing that for herself. She's asking for one thing a day. Some involve money, others experiences.
Colorado is testing a high tech road-kill prevention system. Speaking as one who is very fond of deer, I hope it is successful.
Oxford and Cambridge now have lectures on iTunes. EEEE.
Finally, outside of the cut so more can see it:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stoney321 is doing a 3-Day walk for breast cancer. she explains why far, FAR better than I ever could. All I can say is that her doing these 3-Days is just one of the many reasons why I think she is utterly awesome, and if you have a couple of bucks to spare (hard in this economy, I know) please follow the link and donate. As she says, even if it's a dollar, it's a dollar more than she had before.
