brigdh1. Multiculturalism in Steampunk - Really, really excellent article, covering everything from Victorian education reform to Etsy. I have to say that I'm not that into steampunk myself (I still miss cyberpunk, y'all!), but I do read steampunk books and go to steampunk parties, simply because that's what's out there right now. But I do love the recent push I've seen to take the focus of steampunk off of Victorian London. Anyway, great article, go read it!
2. White America Has Lost Its Mind - from the Village Voice. There's no new stuff in this article, but it's an interesting take on recent events, and a theory on the causes. Speaking off related issues, the house I am staying at often has the radio in the kitchen left on all day. And yesterday, I was making dinner during a report on the "Ground Zero Mosque" issue. Can I just say: PLEASE STOP EMBARRASSING ME, AMERICA. YOU ARE MAKING ME LOOK BAD.
3. The Simpsons on Grad Students (youtube video) - OMG IT IS SO TRUE AND FUNNY.
4. The Sex Scholar - Really interesting article on Clelia Mosher, a woman who studied people's sex lives in the Victoria Era.
5. Makeup Girl (image) - Not photoshopped! THIS PICTURE IS AMAZING.
6. I've mentioned my other secret identity (an archaeology blogger!) before, but we have a bunch of new posts up right now, so you should check that out: Mud-brick.com. And for October, we are doing a series on 'The Archaeology of Death"! Yay, creepy photos of skulls. I myself have a recent post on books about archaeology. Go boost our page-views!
