Let me tell you exactly how stuck in my head...
I’ve started planning queerified covers, two of them, and actually storyboarding video clips in my head. That should also indicate how long it’s been since I’ve directed anything, my creativity is bursting out in unexpected places.

rhymeswithnothing: It’s a little late, but I need to hit up the library and I was wondering if any of you night owls/day walkers had any books that I absolutely have to find and read lest my life be incomplete without it. Suggest a way! FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS GOOD IN THIS WORLD, WOMAN, OCTAVIA ESTELLE BUTLER.

I’m not quite sure what you mean by notes, but I’ll have a go. I’d suggest that you click the ‘[number] posts’ link on the right side of your dashboard, between ‘leonineclaire.tumblr.com’ and ‘6...

Fisher Library’s East Asian Collection Saved!
Today I ran into a woman I know who’s a scholar of East Asian history and she gave me this wonderful news! As you may recall, there were moves towards shutting down the University of Sydney’s East Asian Collection in the Fisher Library – that is, scattering it - which would have been quite a blow to studies in the area both here and for those international scholars who make use of the collection....

Oh and also
Regarding potentially posting a guide to referring to people who aren’t white across various cultures to Feministe, thank you for your kind words and advice. I think I’ll do it when I can reliably spend time moderating it, which is not going to be for a little while yet. If you have any suggestions for things I ought to include, please feel free.

I’m worried that I potentially did (or didn’t do, rather) something kind of silly. But it’s out of my hands now, someone else will sort it out tomorrow if it needs sorting, and it’s quite small in the scheme of things. I am going to try put it out of my mind now :). Have a good Sunday, everybody, or Saturday as the case may be.

lavenderlines: novazembla: faithandbegorrah: projectgutenberg:  She had a bracelet on one taper arm, which would fall down over her round wrist. Mr. Thornton watched the replacing of this troublesome ornament with far more attention than he listened to her father. It seemed as if it fascinated him to see her push it up impatiently, until it tightened her soft flesh; and then to mark the...

So a bunch of you seem to like
that guide I wrote on referring to people who aren’t white. Do you think I should edit it up a bit and post it to Feministe? With very strong guidelines on what it would be inappropriate to comment on?

From the Feministe trash
Finished packing all my personal stuff, so I’m taking a brief respite. But that’s not what we’re here for. The following is upsetting (yeah like the whole thread hasn’t been) so this is your warning. ‘Nobody wants to be around your nasty little spawn, and I hope that eventually someone makes you AND them cry at a restaurant.’ ‘I hope to hell that the...

I am actually about to lose it. It is 10am Monday morning now. I have been checking the Feministe mod queue every few minutes, except for sleeping, since Saturday evening. It took me about three hours to get to sleep last night because I could not stop checking. I am switching off the Internet until I am done packing. Probably someone else will be checking the mod queue, but if something slips...

A Quick Guide to Referring to People Who Aren't...
tiaramerchgirl: challyzatb: Can’t quite get to sleep, so you get this! ‘Person of colour,’ while a great term a lot of people like to use, isn’t universally the best choice when referring to people who aren’t white. In the US context, for instance, it’s the polite term. However, in the Australian context, and I don’t doubt others, there are potential conflicts as it groups everyone who isn’t...

Y’all, I finished my English essay (well, I’ll go over it again tomorrow). Let me present to you my favourite paragraph. ‘In “Sir Orfeo,” discursive time is manipulated in order to represent difference and movement between human time and fairy time. The timing of Heurodis’ initial excursion to the world of fairy pointedly highlights this. That she ‘went in an undrentide,’ (65)...

a question i REALLY NEED TO REMEMBER TO ASK MYSELF...
isabelthespy: is: “will this enrich my life enough to be worth spending my time on it at the expense of other things?” the micro version of it which, if i’m being honest, is the specific case of “will reading this thing on the internet enrich my life more than doing some other shit on the internet?” i think for me, personally, a good barometer is “watching stephane lambiel routines on...

Ode to Feministe Commenters
This is feminist! This isn’t feminist! I’m going to talk as though members of the group I’m talking about aren’t reading. I’m not going to listen to the mod. I think this is a derail. Stop acting like you’re a moderator and stop policing other people’s blog comments … oh, you’re a mod? How is what I’m saying a derail? Why isn’t my...
