Signal boost #1: Genderfail from Seventeen magazine. Well, more genderfail than usual. From the 'Letter campaign to Seventeen Magazine- WRITE NOW facebook group': "The November issue of Seventeen Magazine featured a story entitled "True Life Drama: My BOYFRIEND turned out to be a girl!" Rather than use this opportunity to educate readers about transgender issues, it never once even uses any terminology (well, unless you consider the slur "he-she" -_- ) but instead furthers the common transphobic assumption that someone who's gender does not match their sex assigned at birth is a deceptive liar and even compares them (at the bottom) to perverts, drug addicts, and older dad's trying to get someone young w/o disclosing their parental/age status.

Signal boost #2: If you are by Sacramento, won't you adopt some cats this Sunday? Bonus: these are tax-deductible cats!

I don't know why but someone made in-character Twitter accounts for Jonny Quest and Jessie Bannon, and I'm, uh, amused. Also, having just started Season 2 of JQ:TRA, prattlings of vague spoilers maybe ) Also I thiiiiiiiink I'm going to volunteer to write 'Ocean Girl' fic. I wish they'd stop vague spoiler sort of! )

I'm scrapping my Solstice idea again because it has once more turned into something I want to write instead of what the recipient wants to read. I am terrible, terrible at fluff.
