links dump

[kate_nepveu]

Been a while since I did one of these! I've mostly been collecting links one at a time and never posting them; but there was a lot of catch-up this time.

• Tor.com / Science fiction and fantasy / Blog posts / Creating Better Magazines (and Anthologies) :: "with more awareness and a more open mind, editors will be less likely to dismiss, even unconsciously, fiction that is good but isn’t only about white heterosexual male concerns."
  (tags: race gender sff books magazines)
• SeeLight: Editorial Work Is HARD, Asshole! :: "So, to get down to the nitty gritty, as someone in Tempest's comments asked to do, how do you -- not "become a good editor" but -- change the way you do business so that your editing becomes more than an exercise in futility?"
  (tags: race gender sff books magazines)
• anticipation_09: Late New Business :: Someone moved to require the presence of a female writer on the written fiction Hugo ballots. I didn't see this until it was over, but my reaction was and is, "We don't need any tokenism, thank you very much."
  (tags: sff gender hugo.awards)
• DSC_2606 on Flickr - Photo Sharing! :: Me, taken at Worldcon by Kyle Cassidy. I knew I was tired, but wow I look pale.
  (tags: pictures)
• What we believe: Love isn’t enough at Anti-Racist Parent - for parents committed to raising children with an anti-racist outlook :: "If love alone won’t keep a toddler from touching a hot stove or stop a teen from engaging in unprotected sex, why, then, do so many of us think love is all you need to keep a child from absorbing prevalent biases against people of color or being damaged by them?"

• Introducing The Racialicious Read Along! Kenji Yoshino’s Covering -- at Racialicious - the intersection of race and pop culture :: Great book, I recommend it.
  (tags: race)
• azurelunatic: How Dreamwidth is helping save LiveJournal
  (tags: dreamwidth lj)

Re photo - there you are! (I love seeing what online friends actually look like.)

Moi aussi.

Nice photo, tired or not. :)

Thanks for the link roundup. As always there's something for my mind to chew over. I had a brief heart attack over the second paragraph of the Anti-Racist Parent link, until I realised how she was framing her argument to show the inane ideas people have about their kids naturally absorbing their beliefs without work.

Heh. You're not the only one who had that reaction.

Minor link glitch: Late New Business (corrected link, including your usual format=light).

[kate_nepveu]

Oh yeah, I didn't fix that yet. Thanks.

Wow you look pale. You were not looking that pale when we had dinner on Sunday. Maybe your blood sugar was low right when he took the picture?

On rethinking the timeline, in a couple of hours I was about to start feeling really sick.

I also see that shirt as a slightly less orange red, which may suggest very subtle color balance issues.

You do look paler than usual in that pic.

[kate_nepveu]

Yup. Not bad otherwise, though.

[oracne.livejournal.com]

Not at all. I also love the color of your shirt.
