But alas, I’m making a post to lament the fact that I never post anymore.

So let it be known that the quick links and things that used to get compiled into quickies posts are mostly winding up on my Twitter, so follow me there for fun and games.

But, here are some things that didn’t make it to the Twitter.

+ Urban Sketches has some really cool drawings of Brooklyn.

+ Here are some women pioneers.

And that’s all she wrote. I am laaame.

Excuse my general blogging slackery. Ahem.

Two items. The first, a dude writes into Jezebel about a problem: he left an expensive new shirt at his ex-boyfriend’s and he wants it back. Consensus of the commenters: Dude, you’re not getting that shirt back.

The second is an awesome Cary Tennis screed, brought to my attention via Gawker.

If you haven’t already heard this, Amazon has stopped listing sales rankings for books with LGBT themes. The excuse they offer is that LGBT books have adult themes, and they are thus inappropriate for some search engines, but a bunch of bloggers have done some digging, and apparently Playboy and a whole lot of hetero erotic lit are still getting ranked, but YA novels with gay characters but no sex are not.

There’s a Google bomb afoot: Amazon rank. I’m just doing my part. I’ve also seen a Twitter hashtag “#amazonfail”. And a few people are even boycotting Amazon until this is sorted out. I’m personally tempted to download a whole lot of gay romance just to spite Amazon, although maybe it’s better to buy ebooks from their publishers instead of through Amazon for a while, Kindle or no. Hmm.

Feel free to say vitriolic things in the comments.
