Three for Thursday

[bironic]

1. Cool Slate article (er, if you don't mind grisly medical details) related to current events: Step by step explanation of what happens after your limb is crushed

2. The Conflicted Existence of a Female Porn Writer - A monthly McSweeney's column by a former English major who finds herself writing about the porn industry.

3. Prompts are still open for next week's Porn Battle.

ETA: 4. The Danger of a Single Story (video with optional captions) by Chimamanda Adichie, via deelaundry from bethctg2

Here-wise, there was an upload Saturday night, vid recs Saturday day, and fic of a sort last week. Also am still open to music recommendations.

To each her own! *g* I just added a fourth link, though it messes up the alliteration in the post title.

banana bread?

Is still on my to-do list. *hides*

No rush, I'm just really curious if the way it came out for me was a fluke or no.
Plus, now I can mention that I went a little light on the spices - I liked that, because they were there but very subtle. But, if you want to really taste them, you might want to double them.

...Nope, I still have banana bread fail. I checked at 30 minutes and it was already a bit overdone. Smells nice, though.

alas : ( but still tasty? I'm going to make some today.

I loved that Danger of A Single Story video. I think I got it from thedeadparrot? And I keep going back to rewatch bits of it. I love her voice, and what she's saying resonates so strongly with me. Awesome stuff.

Thanks for the crush syndrome article, too! That was fascinating.

Music recs

You probably already know them, but I love and highly recommend the Klezmatics. I can upload samples if you haven't heard their stuff before.
