Time As My Only Measure

► The ontd_feminism fails spectacularly a la asexual people ‘co-opt queer oppression’ and are not really oppressed (via mercredigirl).
► SF3 has withdrawn the invitation to Elizabeth Moon to attend WisCon 35 as guest of honor. It is a bit surprising, a lot late.
► Maddow fans! The doctor will be on Meet The Press this Sunday. iTunes normally has a free podcast of the ep on the same day so no worries if waking up on Sunday is a NO. I'm sure MTP will appreciate the usual Maddow!bump.
► Israel's version of Dancing With The Stars is to include the show's first same-sex couple in the new series. TV presenter Gili Shem Tov, who has a female partner in real life, will be partnered with professional dancer Dorit Milman when the show's sixth season begins on 1 November.
► New DW layouts!! sarken is doing stunning things with Tabula Rasa. LOVELY.

► So we have new Merlin promo pics, and yes, GWEN WAS IN THEM. In the most lovely way. I made some icons, find them over here if you'd like.
► That drumming sound you hear? It's coming. Support is offered at nano_writers.

Characters of color are cool!
► undercovers - the fic tag has fic now and we also need more authors/artists at the undercovers comment-a-thon. Do go forth and fic/art!
► The hp_diversity October challenge is still on! Do go forth and fic/art! Again.
► How excited am I to see that chromicons is getting a lot more active? *opens arms wide* So gimme moar moar moar participation icon makers! I'm greedy for COC pretty.
