This is not necessarily a definitive catalogue of everything I make, but it's what I have photographed right now. Thank you for your consideration.

So many links.

I love when my friends send me links on facebook; information, amusement, art and articles are the best gifts. Here are some things people have sent me lately.

• Style and Stereotype
• Top Ten Abandoned Theme Parks
• How to Put Yourself Inside a Coat
• Reddit Recruition
• A New Earth
• Circus on the Runway
• Things That Are Tiny Tumblr
• Mangum's Return (!!!!!!!!!!!!)
• Twosome Blanket
• Swoon TED Talk
• Dead Drops

I can't describe how fantastic these things all are, and how grateful I am to have fantastic friends who know exactly the things that will make my brain sing. Yay!

Carnivals on the mind, ruffles on the shirt.

One day I will post pictures from my trek across Canada.

Until I find a more productive means of organizing my thoughts on all this...

There is not enough time in a day to filter through all the information that has been made available in the last weeks. I am trying my hardest to read as much as I can. The backlash against this all is scaring me, so I will just keep reading; accessing information as a form of quiet protest.

• The Vatican and Ireland 
• Canada and the Cables 
• Summary of important revelations by the Globe - some interesting oversights I thought of off the top of my head: no mention of child prostitution in Afghanistan, and no mention of the US and China blocking the Copenhagen Accord
• Leakspin Quality Control - Crowdsourcing journalism, not without an interest in quality of sources, truth in citation.
• Wish List, or Covet Thy Neighbour - argument that the cable that reveals a  "terrorist wishlist" does not even list American resources.
• Anonymous, etc. - Summary of Anonymous' efforts, along with another summary of important leaks.
• More Anon. - Article that ends with something of a manifesto.

I had a few more links, but the browser crashed. Maybe I should stop opening so many tabs.
