Speaking in Tongues - Zadie Smith talking at the New York Public Library about language and class and race and writing and Obama in a way that makes me want to like her novels more than I have so far.
The Lie of of a Meritocracy : A really nice summary of a) how 'people who do well deserve it' so often turns to 'so people who are getting crapped on b life also deserve it' and b) privilege in action. (note - I have not watched the video, because I prefer reading text to watching people text. I am out of sync with the 21st century. I get it.)
Seven Impossible Interviews Before Breakfast #81: Dave McKean - *quietly loves* Also, full of beautiful artwork.
The Fluent Self a self-helpy yoga-type blog that doesn't make me want to roll my eyes. Also, pertinent to several recent conversations, this is her giving a decent explanation of twitter that makes sense in light of my experience YMMV, etc etc.
How to build a rotating canned food shelf I am not, in fact, going to do this, but I feel like I should confess that I want to.
And because I know I mentioned it to someone recently, but I can't remember who to, and if they needed a link or not - Kate Harding's Shapely Prose.
(Am not linking the BBC article about Anne Widdecombe ruling on behalf of all women on the subject of 'Ms', on the grounds that I don't feel like engaging with that crazy right now.)
