Segment: You Probably Knew This Already
Geek Feminism is fairly new group blog for just what it says on the title. The blog was kick-started when Kirrily Roberts found herself drowning in mail after her keynote on women in open source projects in OSCON earlier this year.
Governator Vetoes California Bills. I’m glad Arnie approved recognition of gay marriages performed in other states and Harvey Milk Day, but I guess somebody always has to get screwed over. This time (possibly among others) it’s trans folk and LGBT prisoners. (Link via Amazon Syren).

Segment: If You Haven’t Seen This Yet, Read It NOW
Shame, an article by author Pam Noles about growing up as a SFF fan of colour.

Segment: Comics
Lackadaisy is a comic – published complete on the web as well as an album – about prohibition era cats. It’s funny, it has plot, and the art is so fine and detailed it makes you want to curl up and cry.
Scandinavia and the World is a DeviantArt-exclusive comic by Humon in which the characters are national stereotypes. America bullies Europe into submission, Denmark courts North Pole for her natural resources, and all hell breaks loose over the Eurovision Song Contest. Must not be taken too seriously; nobody’s saying these stereotypes are actually true.

Segment: Free Stuff!
Ivan E. Coyote’s Loose End is available for free download allegedly “until October 9″, but I downloaded it this morning. Hurry up and you might catch it! (Link found via Amazon Syren.)
Kajo is a tiny Finnish band that is currently competing in the Talent Suomi competition. They have two free track downloads up on the website. Pretty! (For non-Finns, the songs are found under “Materiaalia” and “Audiot”.)

Thanks for linking to Kirrily! :-)
She is (as I’m sure you’ve noticed) a doll who puts up with no shit. :-)
Also: You’d think I’d have remembered to do this, but: Thanks for reminding me to download that book!

You’re welcome! I thought you already had. Thanks for pointing it out in the first place! I haven’t read any of her work but I took a look at her web page and knew I wanted to.
