what the actual

+ My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in the Philippines, in Samoa and Tonga, and everyone with family there.

What you can do to help the victims of Typhoon Ondoy/Ketsana (via lassiterfics):

1. Help for Typhooon Ondoy Victims in the Philippines - This is a good place to keep up with news, with active situation map and a list of ways you can donate. If you scroll down, there is a list of US-based donation drop-off points, though it's just California, New York, and New Jersey. You can also do credit card and PayPal.

2. Ondoy Places to Donate Relief Goods - This GoogleDocs has a more comprehensive list of how to donate under the 'Online/International' category.

3. SPREAD THE WORD.


+ Not like everyone doesn't already know about this, but it bears repeating. Everyone in the entertainment industry (everyone everywhere, really) who is petitioning to free Roman Polanski? Fuck you all.

The longer I look at the list, the more names I recognise, the more ragey I get. Of all the things, of all the people to fight for and to place your well-known names behind. Fuck that.

+ Also, Merlin fandom, don't even start. Just please, don't even. That's all I have to say about that.

happier things

I always feel like when I make a ranty post, I should make up for it if only to cleanse my own palate, so, a linkspam:

+ ETA: Mirroring my last post, Celebrities NOT supporting Polanski.

+ irrel drew Arthur, Gwen and Merlin of prettiness, and at the bottom of the post is a sketch of Morgana braiding Gwen's hair and it's making me happier than happy.

+ fiiishy's writing Merlin fic now, which also makes me happy, and she wrote what Morgana was up to in The Once And Future HBIC. (the last episode, which presumably I will stop re-watching at some point.) Hi personal canon! Go tell her not to be nervous.

+ Sesame Street does "Mad Men." Hee.

+ I caught up on Glee, and while I want less Will and his drama, I must have watched Kurt (and the football team) do the Single Ladies dance 8 times in a row. Each. It took me like two hours to watch that episode.

+ Tumblr picspams. I'm especially in love with Made of Gold, all Bradley/Angel/Arthur/Gwen all the time. fuckyeahmerlin, colinmorgan and bradley-james are also made of awesome. I'm tempted to start an Angel/Katie/Gwen/Morgana tumblr called ... idk, flowersftw or something. SEE IF I DON'T.
