And some of it was terrible, and some of it was beautiful...

freetobeme had a bunch of good ones today. Here are my favourites:

"PAUL ROBESON- KADDISCH" (Watch on YouTube)

War Zone: A woman uses a Super-8 camera to talk back to street harassers. Grungy, angry, and frequently funny.

A mother and daughter talk about fat. This is long and painful but well worth the read.

"I'm not disappointed in your body," I said. "I think you're beautiful." Jess looked at me skeptically. "I do," I insisted. "Your eyes, your hair, your manner, everything about who you are—it's all beautiful." But my perceptive daughter heard the roar of words unsaid. I never said "your body," because to say I found it beautiful would have been a lie.

On a related note, Fatshionista talks about healthcare and personal responsibility.

symbioid brings us this little piece of terror. A high school student and his parents are suing a school district for allegedly using school laptops to spy on children and their families at home.

Thanks to curgoth and pluvka, I now have new decorations for my classroom:
