			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I should say, since I was complaining about it so much in previous posts, that I did notice Moffat do a lot better with the lesbian and gay representation in &#8216;When a Good Man Goes to War&#8217;.   It was a while ago so I won&#8217;t attempt a post, but will hand over to <a href="http://www.sparkindarkness.com/2011/06/doctor-who-season-6-episiode-7-when.html" target="_blank">Spark in Darkness</a>.  Here&#8217;s a link to some &#8220;interspecies crime-solving victorian sword-fighting lesbians&#8221; <a href="http://ktempest.tumblr.com/post/6286065022/spastasmagoria-earlfoolish-my-fandom-has" target="_blank">fan art</a> and more <a href="http://ktempest.tumblr.com/post/6660430865/happyfandom-tardisadventures-whats-better" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the rest of the episode upset me so much I couldn&#8217;t eat my dinner and Andy had to make me oatmeal, but that may have more to do with me than the story.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m not really coping with fiction at the moment.  Fiction stimulates the emotions in unpredictable ways and, right now, that makes me anxious, so I&#8217;ve decided to stick mainly to non-fiction for the time being.  Speaking of which, The Guardian books people made a list of <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2011/jun/14/100-greatest-non-fiction-books" target="_blank">100 Greatest Non-fiction Books</a>, which possibly should be interpreted as,  &#8220;list of non-fiction books that middle-class liberal/lefty-identifying people feel they <em>should</em> read&#8221; (I&#8217;ve read 7 of them by the way).   I&#8217;m very cynical about this kind of list, but some of the books here do look interesting.</p>

<p>A book to check out, <a title="Chavs: The Demonization of the Working Class" href="http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/reviews/book-of-the-week-chavs-the-demonization-of-the-working-class-by-owen-jones-2292230.html" target="_blank">Chavs: The Demonization of the Working Class </a></p>

<p>I love this little song posted on Feministing, <a href="http://feministing.com/2011/06/03/“i’m-not-a-virgin-because-virginity-isn’t-even-real”/" target="_blank">&#8216;I&#8217;m not a virgin because virginity isn&#8217;t even real&#8217; </a></p>
<p>And now Tumblr informs me that there is a <a href="http://sttngfashion.tumblr.com/post/5550581072/special-report-star-trek-the-next-generation-a-xxx" target="_blank">Star Trek: the Next Generation themed porn movie! </a> Hilarious if you&#8217;re a fan of the show (The link is pretty safe since they&#8217;re mainly interested in the clothes).</p>
