So sous me, it's Bastille Day. It's also, not coincidentally, Blogswarm for Impeachment day, but unfortunately it's not like the people have the power to make that happen if Congress isn't willing, so I've opted against wasting my breath blowing at that particular windmill (love me them mixed metaphors) and instead uncheck some "keep as new" posts from the past week:
• Mazel tov to Terrance Heath and his husband on their wedding! Also to Jamal Igle and his lovely bride.
• This British TV show sounds very funny.
• What? Wil worry? It's not that it hasn't been said before by many liberal bloggers, but it bears repeating, just as the powermongers' scare tactics are constantly repeated.
• Lisa Jonte is putting Arcana Jayne on hiatus but is returning to GirlAMatic. And Marie Javins returns to Cairo amidst friendly Egyptian well-wishers.
• Barbara O'Brien is currently on vacation but before she left she finished up her Wisdom of Doubt series, and I found Part V particularly well done.
• Guest poster Thorn at Shapely Prose has written an absolutely devastating series of posts about how fatphobia killed her mother and how ignorant relatives added insult to injury at the funeral, no less. Grab a box of tissues and read them all: Part One, Part Two, Part Three.
• One of the music stations to which I flip during my morning commute when ads are on the other stations is WCBS-FM, which had been hiJacked. It's now been freed. Read Dean Landsman's incisive post about this, from the POV of an old radio vet.
• More group bloggie goodness on my Bloglines subs but not yet on my sidebar because, hey, at this point I have almost 1000 unread posts in my Group Blogs section. Anyway, welcome to the blogosphere, Girl Wonder's GWOG! and the Group News Blog (in memory of Steve Gilliard) and Open Left (the new venture by Matt Stoller and Chris Bowers of MyDD). Don't know when I'm gonna have time to read y'all but it's good to know you're out there.
Speaking of time, I'd best get to those undone errands...
