At a certain point, the file gets big enough that it's time to make a post.

Let's begin, then, with the top-line results from the Fansplaining Shipping Survey, with also data management and tools used to produce certain results. For more information and commentary, Fansplaining, episode nine-nine. Which contains a transcript as well.

[personal profile] snickfic suggested that Thursday be the day that a person does recommendations, in the same way that Fridays are for follows (or sometimes femslash), Wednesday is for Reading, and so forth. [personal profile] kore thinks the idea is a good one, and things spread from there. While there's no requirement that there be personal notes attached to the recommendations, a lot of people seem to be doing that as a way of adding an additional touch. All the same, ware the tags and the spoilers if you choose to go in on that idea. They will rarely steer you wrong. Although, at least in one notable instance I have encountered before, they will mislead you in the same way that The Good Place plays on the expectations of a television show to mislead you.

Opinions, nature, technology and more, all yours, if my coding skills are right! )

Last for tonight, Sigourney Weaver appeared as an audience member for the high school play that did Alien. For those of us not lucky enough to see the production live when it was performed, there is at least video of the entire production, even if it's essentially a hand-camera shot with ishy audio.

(Don't read the comments. There's someone raining on the parade by talking about how nobody has decided to punish or sue the kids for copyright infringement because they adapted a work, used other works, and never got licensing permission or paid royalties for the thing.

If someone did do that (which isn't likely), I think this would be one of those places where "transformative work!" would have the possibility of succeeding as a partial or full defense. Plus, how much harm was done would definitely have to be proven.)

The Mechanical Turk can thank Barbara Erni's design of hiding a person in a valuable chest to steal other valuables.

Just a few of the APA code of ethics violations that Hannibal Lecter routinely engages in.

And finally, Genevieve Valentine and the difficulties of determining whether something is camp because camp is what was asked for for a red-carpet affair. With pictures, because that's the best part of a red-carpet rundown. (Also, if fashion isn't your thing, perhaps various thrift store finds that set off the WTF will be to your liking?)
