a shit list.

Unpdated Post: Author Shit List provides a few authors who have made racist and sexist comments, either in interviews, in their blogs, or even in their own books.

Most of these authors, I've never even heard of, but I was considering buying a book of David Levine's. Now, I'm happy I know better. The linked comments are extremely insensitive and shocking. (Robin McKinley especially surprises me. She jumped on the "Obama isn't really black" bandwagon, too. WTF?) It's definitely a good list to have your hands on, if you want to avoid indirectly supporting them.

now, don’t just walk away.

→ Hmmm. Why not?

→ My paid account is going to expire in ... about a half an hour, I think? I'm going to renew it right away, but now I have a crazy urge to delete all of my icons and replace them with new ones? I don't get why I'm so obsessed with icons.

→ I just found out that I'm actually six classes away from getting my associates. Chriiiiiiist. I'll have to take a summer class to make up for loss time.

→ On the plus side, my World Lit/Latin American studies professor complimented my writing and how much it's improved since her last class (which was in early 2007), so... that made my day. I'm excited about the research project we have to do. I have to pick from a list of authors I've never heard of, so ... it's going to be fun to explore them all.

Why me.
