Fuck VD-Day, let's have some pandas!

I have been informed by zingerella that, in honour of Amanda Marcotte and Melissa MacEwan, our fallen pressured-to-resign-by-fundamentalist-bigots fellow bloggers, today is International Panda and Shakespeare's Sister Day.

To celebrate these two awesome women (who could really use a note of support, as they've been under attack by complete assholes lately), have some videos:

Huh? What's the back story here?

Brief summary over at my pad.

Amanda's post about her resignation.

All over the blogosphere (avoid the RW stuff. It's pretty gross.)

I know. I fucking hate hate hate Donohue so much.

I'm ignorant. What does "TYB" stand for?

[pilarcruz.livejournal.com]

LOL, it's a game my sister and I play. TYB stands for That's YOUR Boyfriend. So, if you see a skeevy guy at the mall, you have to make sure you make him someone else's boyfriend before she can make him yours. It's awesome because no one knows what TYB stands for.

Eeeehm, I want to announce that I got a new album available for download:

That is if you're interested.

I'll check it out! I love that I haven't heard of any of those genres.

The whole thing is very depressing. The panda vid made me "awww" like a big sap though.

Apparently, there is a 1% increase in the worldwide panda population this year.

Pandagon is one of my five favorite weblogs (...evar), and I think I would trust Amanda Marcotte with my cat's life, but I still don't quite understand why she went to work for the Edwards campaign in the first place. Wasn't something like this just bound to happen?

[sabotabby]

I kinda thought so. But it still sucks for her.
