yuki_onna has an excellent rant about the portrayal of the USSR by Western authors, which has some common ground with my rant yesterday about the portrayal of pre-Enlightenment cultures by post-Enlightenment authors.
3. Cake Wrecks' Sunday Sweets this week include this impossibly adorable Baby Cthulhu cake.
4.jaylake wants pictures of what you're doing today. As he says, "Not exactly a contest. More like group art."
ETA: My contribution, feeding feral cats:
(Link, and other pics: 1 (without zoom, so that's the actual distance between him and me), 2, 3.)
5. I was hoping to go spectate at a horse show this weekend, but the RLS and associated dyshypnia (is that even a word? sleep dysfunctionality is what I mean--I suppose dyssomnia would be the other option) mean that I have not been able to drag myself out of bed before noon, and the show is two hours away. So no ponies for me, which makes me sad. (The RLS makes me tired and frustrated and stressed, which doesn't help, either.) You are welcome to post things that might help me be more cheerful, although please note that that is posed as an invitation, not a demand.
