Threat Quality Press

Today, my boss is coming in to do my performance review.  Ha!  So, I can’t spend all day writing on the intertubes.

What I’m going to do is, I’m going to put some links up to websites that I like.  Many of them are the same links that are on the widget over to your right, but actually linking to them in the blog will help all of these other sites gain a certain amount of traction, however slight, in the vast cutthroat ocean of interweb blog attention.

Click on the links.  Have fun.

aejr The personal blog of long-time Threat Quality contributer Annie E. J. Ryan.  It’s literary!

Class Act This is a crazy fashion blog, that I think is run out of the Pacific Northwest.  For your sartorial delectation.

Dark Roasted Blend Hilariously, this is a site filled with more links.  Just generally weird and awesome things to see.

Ectoplasmosis! This is a site that is also filled with weird and awesome things.  They have a Cthulhu Cthursday, which is what endeared them to me.

I Fight the DJ This is one of the personal blogs that we link to.  It’s a chronicle of both life and dealing with illness…but not in a really heavy way.

I Speak TV Jeff Holland’s own TV-centric blog, where he sometimes praises and sometimes eviscerates the flickering pictures that are pumped into your house.

Jaded-Cat Another cool personal blog.  There are good thoughts here; an especially good post on Chinese attitudes during the Olympics.

Sallymander Speaks! Sallymander hasn’t posted a lot recently, but I wanted to draw your attention to her anyway; I am 100% in favor of literary evaluations of pop culture.  Here’s a piece she did about the sexism in Jim Butcher’s Harry Dresden novels.

South Bend Seven While I’m not always in agreement with our friends at South Bend, I am always in favor of heightening the discourse, which is why I especially appreciate things like this.

Stop Counterculturalism Now I don’t know a lot about counterculturalism, but I’m willing to believe it must be stopped.  With poetry, obviously.

The Blue Fairy’s Workshop is a pretty awesome thing, where my friend uses her mad costume-designing skills to remix old toys into new ones.

The Middle Room is a lost island paradise, a kind of Fiddler’s Green for the ancient Geeks.  Also, it’s a place where my friend discusses Conan, and for some reason uses the royal first-person plural.

The SF Gospel Here is the website of world-renowned author and leading Philip K. Dick scholar Gabriel McKee, who is, technically, the most successful of my contemporaries.  There’s good discussion here, even if Gabe sometimes seems like he’s grinding his axe.  And also even though I don’t like C. S. Lewis.

What Will Suffice My position on French Canadians has been, traditionally, that they are dangerous lunatics intent on poisoning America from within, and What Will Suffice does nothing to dispel that belief.  It does offer up some neat comments on David Foster Wallace, though.

So, there’s all that.  I have no intention now, or ever, of turning Threat Quality into a link cache, but since I have to spend most of today pretending that I’m working, I feel comfortable sending you guys thusways for right now.
