The highest form of praise

Criticism.

Literary criticism, specifically.

unspuncreature's tag on the space Buzzfeed article about an anonymous space tweeter writing limericks slew me:
"fic of all time. tenured professors will be teaching petra in 400 level poetry seminars."

And then I got a comment on this Murderbot drabble that not only included Picking Up On Themes, but the line, "Back in the days of Honors English, I bet I could get a whole paper of meaning out of your little drabble."

US Politics: Queer history

The Ithaca Statement on Bisexuality, 1972 made me cry in the good way.

\o/ I appreciate the long-ago Quakers who said, "Actually, bisexuals are valid and get erased by the binary."

In related news, Tumblr has thoughts on the definition of bisexual and pansexual but not really.

Vids that will never be: Obi-Wan speaks six languages

I Speak Six Languages is a song about the weight of overachieving from The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, a musical by William Finn.

I think it would make a good song for my beleaguered blorbo, who gets saddled with a problem child when he's 25, paracanonically speaks a lot of languages, and is the master of a subclass of his martial art.
