Just ridiculously tired today. I went back to bed twice.

Abbie gets her teeth cleaned and worked on tomorrow, so I have to get up early to take her in. I hope it goes smoothly for her!

Speaking of which, a friend from fannish circles, Mel, has a Go Fund Me up for dental and jaw repair following a vehicle accident:

I want to boost this post by [personal profile] jesse_the_k, and the article linked therein:

Toppling the To-be-read pile:
https://jesse-the-k.dreamwidth.org/316704.html

I've struggled with reading for a long time due to headaches, lack of concentration, my eyes getting tired, etc. I've lost the ability to devour novels, and it makes me sad. What I've gone to instead are:

--Comics and graphic memoirs, which are easier to focus on, usually.
--Reading fanfic on my eReader, which allows me to increase the text size, and read easily in bed where I don't have the distractions of the computer.
--Podfic and Audiobooks, although these also require focus! Often it's nice to listen to a fic more than once.
--Getting more into movies and TV, which I can discuss with my community and analyze in a similar way.

I seem to go through reading phases, and I try to be patient with myself. I can still be around books and discuss them with people without reading them.

There's a new show on Comedy Central, "The Nightly Show", which I've been enjoying on Hulu. I'm overall impressed by their exploration of issues, and how they have a range of activists and comedians on the panels offering viewpoints. WELL. Last night (Monday), Marianne Kirby [twitter.com profile] therotund was on the show! She talked about fat acceptance and looked glamorous.

[livejournal.com profile] mystickeeper is hosting a carnival for WisCon panel generation!

So far my favorite idea is this one:
Teamwork: Feminism is more than just a belief that men an women should be treated equally. At its core, it requests a change in power dynamics that allows all people to be equal.
How do characters work together or separately in SF/fantasy?

Are the characters we admire most ones who are solitary warriors, or are they constantly helping/teaching/learning?


Go check it out and suggest ideas!
