Argh. Soooo tired. Work's been really busy recently, but here're a few random linketies.

Restore ReDress!
Bring back the best independent plus size store in the world!
-- This is my friend Rachel, and she's all flavors of awesome.

Feministing: Court strikes down Idaho’s 20-week abortion ban -- Wow, it's actually good news for once!

Happy International Women's Day

Feministing: Daily Feminist Cheat Sheet: International Women’s Day

Youtube: My cat can see the rotating snake illusion! -- Wow. I'd love to see some actual research on animals and optical illusions, but this certainly seems indicative.

AfterEllen: Pop Theory: On Bisexuality -- Good stuff. Looks like BiNet USA has an excellent president these days. On the downside, I got sucked into reading comments and am having a moment of feeling hopeless and stomach-clenchy. It's not actually true, but sometimes it feels we've gotten nowhere on bi acceptance in the queer community in the 20 years I've been out and having these conversations.

Marina Abramovic and Ulay started an intense love story in the 70s, performing art out of the van they lived in. When they felt the relationship had run its course, they decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for one last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again.
At her 2010 MoMa retrospective Marina performed ‘The Artist Is Present’ as part of the show, where she shared a minute of silence with each stranger who sat in front of her. Ulay arrived without her knowing and this is what happened.


Cracked: 5 Shockingly Advanced Ancient Buildings That Shouldn't Exist

Cracked: 6 Amazingly High-Tech Ancient Weapons -- debated whether to link this one, but "technically amazing" beat out "existentially depressing" by a teeny hair.

Feministing: Friday Feminist Fuck Yeah: Break The Gender Box (PSA Vid) -- This is awesome, and it made me a little teary.

ONTD_Political: Last common ancestor for Y-chromosome twice as old as previously thought *geekbounce* this is so cool and unexpected!

ONTD_Political: Caring on Stolen Time: A Nursing Home Diary -- Powerful and horrifying on so many levels.

Feministing: Friday Feminist Fuck Yeah: Break The Gender Box

Wow, that's completely awesome. I've seen links to vaguely similar ads that aired in the UK or elsewhere in Western Europe, but this is the first one like that I've heard of in the US. Very cool!
