#1: Unofficial Ballot Returns – November 4, 2008 General Election – Oregon

I will be dropping off my ballot tomorrow, most likely, at which point I will become a statistic. *pleased*

#2: Copied from a comment I made here: "Some day, when I have time and infinite money, I want to devise something like Oh No Robot (comic strip transcription thing) for online videos and podcasts.  Maybe a wiki or something, so that anyone can contribute easily."

For example, Amanda at Pandagon posted a video in this post. So you you grab the URL from the YouTube video and plug it in at The Site(r). It grabs the video ID from the URL and redirects you to a page that has the current transcript for that video. If there's no transcript, you can create one, &c &c.

(For Vimeo videos, you can right-click on the title to copy the link. Hulu I don't know, I can't get videos to load for that one. Google Video, you can go to the GV page directly, then copy the URL.)

Hrm.

Via a friend: A Visual History of Feminism Via Pop Culture: Vids, Comics, and TV, as compiled by kali921.

(Should be SFW, unless your workplace has a problem with comic book women.)

2008-02-19 22:42 | A compelling argument for cable TV.

I have a happy-on for Leonard Nimoy and Stephen Colbert, damn.

Colbert interviews Nimoy about his book about the Full Body Project.  (Images at the second link are not SFW.)

At 2:50, I die of squee.  I die.  Of squee.

At 3:05, Nimoy refers to Marcel Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase.  The picture is SFW; it's… ah… Cubist, -ish, from what I can tell.

The comparison at 3:30 is to Matisse's The Dance.  920×607, probably not SFW.

And then I descend back into inarticulance.

* Jessica at Feministing posts a YouTube link: Practical joke show "rapes" mom to terrorize daughter.  As someone said at Feministing, "Oh good. I think rape hasn't been funny enough in the past. This sort of humor is just what we need."  This is truly vile, and is not helping humanity's case any.

* Jill writes: 10 Reasons to Support Reproductive Justice on Roe Day.  Her post is full of excellent points and linkage.

* PortlyDyke writes about Christianity and the US.

2006-11-17 23:52 | Interesting links, says I.

Found via various friends and neighbours.

* [Flash] Mapping Our Rights: An interactive map that ranks US states according to their reproductive healthcare, marriage, and abortion policies.

* [Shockwave movie, has sound] Dove: Evolution: The Dove Self Esteem Fund has a one-minute video on the process to make a woman into a model.  An artful combination of makeup and Photoshop, where by "artful" I think I also mean "scary".
