Friday Links Learns that Meep-Meep-Meep is a colour.
Let's just stop and bask in the glory that is Muppet nail polish. Muppet nail polish, people!
Also, a TARDIS corset. Doctor Who cosplay is one of those things that has made my internet a better place over the last few years. I love these crafty, creative geekpeople!
Check out the Strange Horizons Fundraising Drive – and as an example of some of the great work they do, try this wonderful essay about Pat Cadigan.

I was deeply sad to read this post by Cheryl Morgan, who is feeling beaten down by the mudslinging she has been experiencing for years, and decided to withdraw her connection to many fan, volunteer and professional projects.

Tehani is running a blog series on the relationship between pro writers and indie press over at The Booknut. I particularly liked this guest post by Trent Jamieson.
For my own reference, here's the schedule for the upcoming month of DC rebootiness. Even more exciting is this head's up I got from the Hathor Legacy about upcoming DC comics for kids.

I immediately went to order some for Raeli.
I'm loving the Bitch blog right now – their 'we're all mad here' blog series is looking at some very interesting issues. I particularly liked the posts on the portrayal of crazy ladies in the animated Batverse, and Whedon's exploration of the use of institutionalisation to control women across his various shows.
