It seems a bit odd to be Monday Roundup’ing stuff that happened on the very same site that this blog is posted on, but I know a lot of people just read NSWATM and not the GMP, and I’m sure you don’t want to miss Noah being awesome.
Speaking of! Here is Noah Brand naked. Isn’t he sexy? I think he’s sexy. Apparently he is a sex symbol in Australia now! Noah would also like to point out, as a comic book geek, that people shouldn’t be annoyed about the new Green Lantern being gay. (People are annoyed by this? Hrmph.) Finally, here is an awesome poem about tequila Noah wrote that everyone except Noah likes.
In other exciting news, Clarisse Thorn has recently put out The S&M Feminist: Best Of Clarisse Thorn on Smashwords and Amazon. If you’ve been following Clarisse’s work for years, this may be a bit unnecessary, because every post in here is something you can get for free online. However, the S&M Feminist comes with introductory notes, commentary from the author and study guides (squee!) full of interesting thought questions about each section of the book. And I’ve been a pretty assiduous fan of Clarisse, but there’s still writing of hers I had no idea I hadn’t read before it showed up in this book, so it might be best to read the book rather than track down everything she’s said for the past four years. Buy it, because it is awesome, you’ll be benefiting an awesome writer, and also so Clarisse will give me more free books and the whole “so best-case scenario I’m making half the minimum wage?” mathematics will be a little less depressing.
