This is really cool: An Interactive, Self-Moving 3D Tour of the Anne Frank house. Interesting just to get a feel of the size, the movement, etc. Definitely worth a perusal, even if you haven't read Frank's diary.
In case it wasn't clear, this isn't a recorded tour, but a 3D interface with which you can explore the annex on your own.
One of the best songs from Sondheim's Follies.
This may be the gayest post this blog has seen.
SIXTEEN HOURS TO SUMMER VACATION! Ecstatic is an understatement.
Further promenade ridiculousness: Parents in North Carolina are reportedly organizing a separate prom after a school permitted a homosexual student to bring his boyfriend to their year end formal. Their reasoning is unsurprising at this point: they want to ensure that their children “aren’t exposed to Jordan and Chase’s gayness.” (take that with a grain of salt, as it is coming from the gay student's mother.)
I'd say the South has gone batshit insane this year, but really it's that gay students in the South have decided to come out and exercise their right to be treated equally. One example of injustice leads others to speak out! Kudos to all of those teens and others putting themselves out there in the fight to be treated fairly! As you can see, every step you take is forging the way for those behind you.
This advertisement by Alabama Governor-hopeful Tim James is not only offensive but incorrect. Maybe it's the businessman in me, but I'm pretty sure your state makes money off of the inclusion of individuals who speak other languages and drive cars. After all, think of all the ticket revenue you're losing from foreign individuals who can't read your English speed limit signs.
Even worse, this bill removes benefits to children of domestic partners, including both minors and disabled adult dependents. If it is any surprise to anyone, Brewer is an outspoken religious zealot who reportedly leads staff prayer meetings. And she believes (and is quoted as saying so) that God placed in her in her position of power.
I am without words. There is nothing to explain this behavior but righteous-fueled hatred. And she is injuring families to do it.
And I quote Jesus:
"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." John 13:34

1. K thanks for ruining strawberries for me.
2. OMG, or I could just eat a god damn harmless bug I can't even see. People today get so freaked out about germs and things that either have no effect on them or, even worse, could benefit them. All this Purell...you're not avoiding sickness. You're just making yourself more susceptible to it later. And eat a damn bug. If it's not a parasite, you're fine.
John Cameron Mitchell announces that Hedwig & the Angry Inch will return to Broadway in fall 2010!
This one's pretty interesting but hard to read (odd, since usually one of the main goals of these graphs is to make the material more accessible) but the info's worth a perusal: a look at how different emotions/sentiments are linked to different colors in varying regions of the world.

Nimoy Sunset Pie Tumblog
A lot of these miss the mark because the makers try too hard...Nimoy should not be interacting with the pies, people.
