Watch the skies

PSA again (or how to justify wasting an afternoon noodling around the web).

As detailed at this Making Light post, TOR is planning on hosting a combination magazine-salon-blog-PR vehicle-vegetable dicer-dog walker-DRM-free digital freebie table sort of site. Something like io9 with intellectual participants and the world's best moderation. And social networking tools. Couldn't come at a better time for bitter LJ veterans, nu?

Truly Wise Snark

Yes I'm totally late to the party when it comes to the delightfully cantankerous blog called

I Blame the Patriarchy

but at least I finally got a clue. What's making me jump up & down and go whee! right now is this excellent rant about cancer.

In which the fabulously cranky blogger spews forth on just how shitty it is to survive cancer and then have to deal with all kinds of crappy "side effects" of the treatment, and be expected not to whine.

So, go read it already, OK?
