Links: things about dis/ability, gender, suffragettes, poetry, and twitter

kaberett  has a great post about the term "wheelchair-bound". It is worth checking out.

erika  made a guest-post on bitesizedcleaning about planning for making things more accessible, and is going to do some more posts about accessibility and cleaning through the next couple of weeks. There are already some great comments to the post.

rosefox  has an excellent post about Rose's flavor of genderqueer. Rose makes some excellent points.

oursin  wrote up a well-put post about a forthcoming BBC sitcom about a group of ineffective suffragettes. Let's mock the people who helped get many women the right to vote, shall we? *headdesk*

ysabetwordsmith  is having a half-priced poetry sale for An Army of One: The Autistic Secession in Space through the end of this week. You can sponsor all or part of a poem.

poetree is currently having a challenge that gives free dreamwidth points, a poem, or a custom icon as a reward. There are challenges for both writers and readers. You may want to check it out...it's due Saturday March 2nd. (And for those working on the reader's challenge, I welcome comments on any of my public poetry from people I have yet to meet. ^__^)

Finally, I got an iDevice for my birthday and have been using Twitter more often (i.e. in bed in the morning as a motivation to wake the frell up, etc. I am so glad I live in this era.) If you are on twitter and I didn't manage to find you already, you can find me @rogue_crafter.

Massive Spinning/Knitting Photo Post (beware for those on slow connections/data plans)

I finally am almost out of the fiber I initially got when I started spinning - about 11.5 oz of fiber total, and I have about 1 oz left. Well, except there is more in my future. *cackles maniacally* Srsly though, it is cheap when you consider how well it is treating me mentally.

So here's some eye candy, as folks have been asking:

( Don't say I didn't warn you it's PHOTO HEAVY )
