starladyFirst, some important follow-up posts on #YesGayYA:
Author Marie Brennan has a cogent analysis of posts written over the last few days, as well as of the actual issues involved: Followup on "Say Yes to Gay YA"
cleolinda has a more in-depth hashing-over, What's going on with #yesGayYA, which is a great post through and through.
bookshop's post YA publishing & the de-gaying of books has a quotation from an anonymized agent letter, extracted from comments to the posts in the discussion. I personally don't fully agree with her chosen course of action, but it's a good post regardless.
PSA: Last Call for Delicious Users: Transfer Your Bookmarks by Sept. 23
I opted out of AVOS' TOS and switched to Pinboard, but I didn't have a huge collection of links widely used by other people in fandom. If you do, considering opting into the TOS is worth a few minutes' thought. Migrating your bookmarks somewhere else will also preserve them, though not existing links to them of course.
And finally, if you like contemporary classical music, you will want to download the "Remembering Sept. 11" concert, live from the Temple of Dendur, before the link goes dark on Sept. 18.
