Three weeks for Dreamwidth

I don't have a theme at this time (suggestions welcome), but I'm going to try to do at least one public post a day for the next three weeks. The posts won't be cross-posted to LJ but (assuming I remember) links to the posts will be.

This is the post for Monday 4/25. My clock says it's Tuesday but I haven't gone to bed yet. So there.

This article about humans, chimps, and bonobos is worth linking because it uses the phrase "polyamorous bonobo."

Over at codswallopers they're doing a poll: Which Shakespeare characters most deserve a slap with a wet codfish?

I'm not planning to do the "21 questions about Dreamwidth" meme but if enough people say they want me to, I will.

Until May 16 I'm doing "Three Weeks for Dreamwidth", which means instead of cross-posting my public posts to LJ, I will be posting a link back to the Dreamwidth post.

I will still be cross-posting my locked posts.

3 weeks for dreamwidth, linkspam edition

Body Impolitic discusses an interesting project having to do with Clothing, Sex, Safety, and Power.

George Takei continues to be made of awesome.
1. The planned live action Akira has a whitewashed cast, and he's been vocally opposing it.
Takei to WB: Do the Right Thing. This excerpt mentions that it's not exactly a new problem: "when I was very young, I read Pearl Buck’s epic novel of China, The Good Earth. And that film, all of the principal major roles were cast with Caucasians."
2. Also, he is speaking out in favor of legal marriage equality: "I had discussions with the Social Security Administration when they asked me to do this PSA, and it’s with that common understanding that, when I do the promotional round, I could speak out on the issue of equality."
(The PSA promotes the Social Security Administration's online services. There's a whole series of them, but I've only watched this one. It's pretty funny.)

I made a YouTube video playlist of some of the top pop songs from 1975. (I get a serious nostalgia hit even from the awful ones.) I'm not sure my YouTube account is set up to allow people to see it, so if you can't see it and you want to, let me know.
