merrilyHappy International Women's Day, everyone!
Perfect Braids Show Depths of Dad's Devotion [news story from AJC]. Clifton Green waited a decade to become a dad, imagining he would be like the man who raised him and made him feel like the most special kid in the world. That day came in 2005, when Green and his wife adopted daughter Miriam Tigist from an Ethiopian orphanage. Suddenly, fatherhood demanded a task few white men ever contemplate: hours of cleaning, combing, twisting and braiding African hair. (And there are pictures!)
Cleo has action figures. Cleo makes up elaborate stories for her action figures. And makes the action figures act them out. And photographs them. And then uploads them to her wiki, The Secret Life Of Dolls, to share with all of us. :-)
XKCD has some things to say about correlation.
In that vein, I think you will enjoy these musical statistics in visual form. Includes the classic pie chart, "Things Meatloaf Will Do For Love."
I promise it will make your day better to watch this toddler perform Hey Jude [YouTube].
Pi symbol ice-cube trays! [ThinkGeek]
The NYT is introducing graphic novel bestseller lists!
Yes, you can join the Romance Police! But be warned -- there is a test.
Patrick Stewart wrote this piece on violence against women for Amnesty International. *loves him madly*
A lot of people have written a lot of things about RaceFail'09.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rydra_wong has done a good job of rounding up notable entries, and they are collected here.
annalazarus wrote Work Our Way Slow To The Start, where Cook meets older rocker girl Michelle while he's on the show, and they become friends, and it's a long slow delicious burn up to the sexing. David Cook would totally be the best boyfriend ever. And I heart Michelle. (David Cook/OOC, NC-17)
brooklinegirl wrote 43 Degrees Celsius, where Hugh Dillon visits Callum Keith Rennie on the set of Suspicious River. Angsty hot threesome with Molly Parker. Just. Guh. (NC-17, obvs)
cf33 wrote No One Speaks A Word You Hear, a beautiful, beautiful fierce protective Gwen/Morgana story.
solarcat05 wrote The One Where Uther Had A Cow, in which Arthur turns into a bull. Um. I don't mean "load of".
Ever wondered what Rodney would look like as a belly dancer?
To be filed under "SGA Fandom: How So Awesome?",sabinelagrande wrote a SGA rec list, in rhyming couplets. Excerpt: Q is for queens, Wraithy or not; R is for Ronon, cause goddamn he's hot.
And she also made a list of Things Sabine Is No Longer Allowed To Do in SGA fic. 019. Jennifer would never introduce herself as "Dr. Keller if you're nasty." .
derryderrydown wrote Welsh For Beginners. Ianto turns Jack on by saying Random Stuff to him in Welsh. Gwen, who understands what he's saying, spit-takes.
