Femslash "don't have to know canon" rec fest!

Would you like to read more femslash but are intimidated by unfamiliar canons? Or would you like to draw more people into your femslashy fandom? This fest is for you! Rec & find recs for femslash narrative fanworks that can be enjoyed with little to no canon knowledge!

A few links, mostly written on DW

On PF, just a short while ago, a user who posted content not prohibited by the ToS, correctly marked NSFW, tagged for content, and under a cut was banned without contact or warning for a violation of an, at that point, imaginary policy. From kalloway, and there's a little more in jamethiel's post here.

Everybody is whaling on tumblr and no-one on the real villain in this battle for free expression. From type_wild

How Tumblr Taught Social Justice to a Generation of Teenagers

Also, somebody else has paid for another two months of DW time.

Which is so sweet and unexpected :)

Thank you so much!

The NY Times has an article up on the proposed decoration change at the Holland Tunnel.

And all I can think, looking at the picture, is that those are some ugly decorations. Also quasi-religious, but seriously, they're the drabbest, ugliest tree and wreaths you'll ever imagine. So yes, I went to the poll, and first of all there's no option up for "replace the decorations entirely with something pretty or just go without" and secondly they don't seem to understand the distinction between checkboxes and bulletpoints.
