a post in which i use the word privilege an unusual number of times.

i meant to but failed to get around to blogging about international blog against racistm week because i'm a mean old racist cracker mick who is securely ensconced white privilege. or maybe i was distracted.

but over the past few days (mostly via a mefi post) i have found myself poking around some blogs about identity politics, oppression, and privilege and whatnot. i present some of the more interesting links here in case y'all also find them interesting reading.

household archaology

so, as part of clauclauclaudia's imminent move-in, i'm outcrufting, which includes going thru a crapload of books.

found in the pile of books: one 1979 "advanced d&d" dm's guide. with a computer punchcard in it as a bookmark.

ETA, additional things: DEC's "introduction to minicomputer networks" (1975). 20 year old issues of OMNI magazine. 20 year old issues of "on our backs" (yum).

just for you!

HEY firni:
these remind me of your pulsating-pec userpic.
