I got a fantastic Sam/Dean story for Remix: Vagabondage (the trust fall remix), which is Sam's POV on Vagabondage. It is chock full of love and care and sexiness.
( spoilers go out of the woods )
Meme! Anyone who feels like it should post their ten most CRUCIAL CRUCIAL CRUCIAL-ASS movies, like the movies that explain everything about yourselves in your current incarnations (not necessarily your ten favorite movies but the ten movies that you, as a person existing currently, feel would help people get to know you) (they can change later on obviously).
Heathers (Can I list Heathers three times? It influenced my fashion choices as well as my overall outlook on life.)
The Cutting Edge (Yes, I am a sap.)
The Princess Bride (Among other things, useful shibboleths!)
Serenity (Still not over it.)
Aliens (It’s the only way to be sure.)
Terminator 2 (Pull-ups. I actually wrote my college thesis on women in 80s sf/action movies.)
Speed (Underpromise and overdeliver.)
Real Genius (My image of geekery.)
Holiday (The lesser-known Hepburn/Grant collaboration, which probably does say a lot about me.)
Wargames (The only winning move is not to play.)

Humanities Crisis Mad Libs:
Humanities Crisis Mad Libs:
Of course humanities classes challenge students to think about big questions; of course that teaching is valuable. But when the argument leaps immediately to synthesis, analysis, and imagination, we give little credit to the scrappy effort needed to master the fundamentals of many humanities fields. Humanities faculty members regularly miss the chance to tell their students and the public about the many other valuable skills they teach: how to write a clear sentence; how to communicate in a foreign language; how to look to the past in order to make decisions today; and so on. All of these are invaluable skills that help students in the world of work. Building these nuts-and-bolts skills also leads to broader vistas.( horror stories, C.J. Cherryh, Stacia Kane, Seanan McGuire )

Once Upon A Time: ( spoilers are magic! )
Republican Angry at Trillion-Dollar-Coin Solution: “There turns out to be no serious economic or legal argument against the platinum coins…. The main drawback is that it’s hilarious…. See, here’s the thing. The United States government is not like a small business. Small businesses routinely go out of business. That is something we’d rather avoid as a country.” I will admit, the rule lawyer in me kind of wants to see this happen. The rest of the world already knows we’ve gone off the rails, so why not?
( stories about skilled labor, an old Druid, Harry Dresden, attack memes from outer space, psychic soulbonded YA )

I go up and down on Once Upon a Time (Little Red Riding Hood episode: up up up!), but this vid by beccatoria is everything that is awesome about the show.
Matt Stoller on foreclosure abuses:
FYFF once again knows my soul: “you’re not a real writer.” (helens78 has a counterpoint that I, being comfortable with contradiction, also find quite compelling!)
( Short stories: gay encounters, horror, Sarah Monette, Neil Gaiman; also Ted Naifeh and supernatural YA )
Matt Stoller on foreclosure abuses:
Of course, like a good Capitol Hill staffer receiving an incredibly important piece of evidence on a multi-trillion dollar scandal, I was like “this guy is crazy” and quickly got back to working on regulatory reform and surfing the internet. (Unofficial motto of Dodd-Frank: Hey, um, regulators, why don’t you make all the rules and we’ll check out Twitter? Mkay. Also your budget is cut!)Great article on the new monopolies and how they harm everyone but the richest.
