For 20SB’s January Blog Carnival, we’re supposed to post our favourite video of 2012 (or all-time favourite, if people prefer). Mine is definitely this ad for last summer’s Paralympics. I’ve watched it SO many times and it’s still perfect.

Also, WIGS is mailing tote bags and treats when we link to their stars’ favourite youtube videos, here. Sweet!

I’ve been watching episodes of The West Wing whenever I need a writing break (i.e., I’ve been watching maybe quite a lot of The West Wing).

CJ CREGG FOREVER, you guys.

Today is my first day without crutches since my surgery about a month ago. I sat at the back of the bus (i.e., not the priority seating at the front) for the first time in ages! I feel like such a champ!

What can I watch to feel better?

Wed, 23 May 2012 19:58:00 -0400

So, I tore my ACL and it’s going to be hard to get around for a while. So I’m staying in a lot and I need some good TV, you guys. I’ve been watching Parks & Rec, 30 Rock, Always Sunny, Up All Night, Happy Endings, Community, Portlandia, and New Girl… I’m looking for fun, light, clever things like that.

ETA: Also watching Veep and Girls (DUH, but also, thanks, great suggestion)

gordonshumway:

…”You play (or run or swing or kick) like a girl” isn’t deployed as an insult anymore. But, at least to this woman, “I play like a girl” doesn’t feel empowering either. It feels like a limitation, one I hope won’t be a screenprinted slogan for another generation.

I play, period.

We’re not there yet, but we’re getting there…

This week for NBC Sports, we talk about Title IX’s upcoming 40th anniversary and how an 8-year-old inadvertently taught me everything I need to know about its impact and importance. Click HERE for the rest.

Really great piece, Jelisa!

This paper on logic from the early modern period may have taken a turn for the worse. I have recently found myself talking about bovine tuberculosis.
