Jan. 18th, 2010 18:271. Avatar won the Golden Globe for Best Picture, and James Cameron for Best Director, last night. WTF WHAT WHY.

bookshop's post is a dose of cold water on every fannish heart. Why are we still accepting subtext instead of text?
3. N.K. Jemisin, whose book The Hundred Thousand Kingsdoms comes out next month (yay!), has a post on why RaceFail was good for sff.

deepad has a "yes, and" post on the costs of engaging.
4. Everyone's seenmelannen's posts crunching the numbers on slashers' sexuality, right? The majority of slashers are queer.
5. Massachusetts voters go to the polls to choose a new senator tomorrow. It might be impossible to resist reading this as a referendum on a) health care reform and b) on President Obama's first year.
6. Martin Luther King, Jr. would have been 81 years old today. Given that two of my great-aunts died this year at age 88 (one of them just this past Friday), it doesn't seem unreasonable to think that he might have been here to see it, all other things being equal.
Edited to remove the simplistic categorization and to add 3a.
