Tuesday Linkage

[browngirl]

So I was going to post one link, then another, then another, and now I have a whole little chain of link sausage for you.

An interactive map of ocean level and climate change, aka, find out when your house will get eaten by the sea.

Window Seat: The Art of the Circle Field. Beautiful photographs of circular fields on the landscape.

From planetary climate to political climate:

"SC County GOP: If You've Had Pre-Marital Sex, You Can't Be A Republican"

"The Voting Wars Could Get Bloody" -- upcoming battles over voting laws, including Texas's challenge to the Voting Rights Act itself.

Arizona Birth Control Bill Penalizes Women For Using Contraception For Non-Medical Reasons. If it passes, Arizona employers could at their discretion require women to prove their birth control is for medical reasons aside of preventing pregnancy, and fire those women for using birth control to prevent pregnancy.

Short story: ILU-486 "Summary: In the not-so-distant future of Virginia, the Personhood Act has outlawed abortion and chemical birth control. That doesn't mean they don't exist, though"

(I'm not currently posting about the murder of Trayvon Martin, because I simply cannot deal. May his soul forgive me. If his name isn't familiar, please Google him, if you have the emotional fortitude.)

*takes a deep breath* And now, human creativity:

Kowloon Walled City aka Libertopia

Roadsign Hacking (yes, I found this creative, and amusing)

Switcheroo (Couples and groups switch clothing.)

Baku's Miniature Book Museum

Last but not least, Become a Guerrilla Chef, which was sent me by bikergeek because he loves me.

I <3 that book

I have this vision of a future where Massachusetts urban planners, trying to mitigate the effects of rising oceans, turn Cambridge and Somerville into a giant wetland covering the delta between the Charles and Mystic River outlets.

This area would be called, of course, the Harvard Marsh.

Harvard itself would remain in its current position, several meters below sea level, surrounded by levees. Because, well, rank hath its privileges.

I have too much rage to be coherent in any way, shape or form about Trayvon Martin. May God have mercy on Zimmerman, because I surely never will.

Thank you! The circle fields are lovely, and I really like the where-to-buy-your-soon-to-be-waterfront-home site.
