[livejournal.com profile] apple_pi posted this, and while I can't get involved, I asked all of you to help out with the campaign I'm involved with here in Canberra and this is pretty much the same cause, just on the other side of the world. Equal rights, dammit!

As you presumably know, California's recent court decision regarding same-sex marriage was a huge fucking deal. It was historic, long overdue, and took a hell of a lot of fighting.

Unfortunately (and not surprisingly) Governor Schwarzenegger is receiving tons of phone calls from the supporters of 'Limits on Marriage' (the constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage in California) about his comment to a group of Log Cabin Republicans that he wouldn't support a constitutional amendment which discriminates against gays by defining marriage as only being between a man and woman.

We don't want him to go back on his word. So he needs to hear from us, too.

Calling to voice your support for California's gay marriage ruling means calling an automated system; you won't have to talk to anyone. And you can call even if you're not from California. So please, the more the better.

The number is 1-916-445-2841; press 1, 5, 1 to get to the particular issue, then press 1 if you want to support upholding the court decision and are against a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.

I need a generic pro-gay icon.

I've watched all of season 1 of Gilmore Girls, and I madly love Lorelai. She's crazy and hilarious and I love everything she says. Luke wrestling with Dean outside the diner had me in stitches. Also, I hate very few characters the way I hate Emily.

Stanhope pressures PM on gay unions. VERY exciting, positive stuff for the campaign :D

An interesting and well thought-out BSG Last Supper code crack. I think the main theory has been denied a lot, but it's still a cool investigation.
ETA: Oh, wow. Pictures of Trucco right after his accident. Scary shit, the fact that he's back on the show and doing fine is reeeally impressive.

Cute Torchwood icons.

[livejournal.com profile] mata090680 posted new pictures of my wife!

Amusing anecdote about David Duchovny (why won't you love me) disliking Scientology. I always thought Duchovny was cool.

Joss Whedon's top ten moments according to Ben of Geek!

New Muhney interview in which he is unfailingly lovely, as always, and his answer to question 13 makes me want to SOB DESPERATELY. NOT FAIR. He throws in a Dollhouse mention, which, I still hold out hope that he'll get SOMETHING on that show. He can't not. It's fate, I tell you! Fate, or I will make it happen by force of will.

There's nothing there yet, we're having a meeting soon to discuss the webpage and a PDF of the damn petition, but I've made an LJ commuity for the Campaign for Civil Unions:

If you're Australian and in favour of same-sex civil unions, please go join!! I figure I'll post about what goes on at the meetings and what people can do to help, etc.

I'm sick, and sleepy, and stressed, and considering a possibly out-of-left-field career choice for the future that may or may not make sense. Or work. And I'm sad that one of my BFFs may be mad at me and I don't know what to do about it. I am eternally grateful to Squishy for being uncomplicated and wonderful.

Okay, here's your nifty links before I go die slowly.

Twilight preview. RPattz is obviously one of those actors who needs to stay in an accent, but I miss his own accent.

BUST STATUE OF RON IN QUIDDITCH GEAR!! Looking more badass than he probably will in the movie, given that it's written by that Ron-hating Harmonian-shipping Kloves bastard. That's his official title, fyi.

John Barrowman sings a modified version of 'The Wizard and I'. I love when he sings.

Okay, I'm still computer-less and fixing the old one is starting to look very difficult. It's also kind of a dinosaur, so I may be better off just getting a new one, although as I also need new glasses and have roughly no money whatsoever, I don't know how that's going to happen. Also, I have no Photoshop, which is a major issues for the million or so LIMS contests I'm in. Woe.

For anyone interested in the Campaign for Civil Unions, we now have a Facebook group, and we will soon have a website. There is also a new way that ANYONE IN AUSTRALIA can help.

We're currently doing a petition to pass the bill unaltered that we are going to give to a senator in about 5 weeks' time to present to the Senate. We need as many signatures as we can get, and they can be from ANYWHERE in Australia. We need people to actually sign copies of the petition, so PLEASE e-mail me if you're interested and I can send you copies for you and your friends to sign.

Even if there's only one signature, it's one more towards our goal, and we appreciate every one.

In fandom news, Fox is forgoing a pilot for Dollhouse in favour of building a set, which...hopefully bodes well? (Can you figure out which fandom I'm most excited about right now?)

Wife out and about. Bad dress, pretty wife.

The cool cats over at starDOM got a kick-ass interview.

Jane Espenson & Tom Lenk weigh in on gay themes in scifi. I think the fact that there's no openly gay characters on BSG (Cain excluded) speaks more about the 'verse they've created than the fact that theoretically it wouldn't be a problem. This article is so soft-core, it's all about how, in theory, homosexuality is fine in a diverse future...but not worth actually talking about.

I am so tempted to do top fives :S

Seen a few movies.

As part of the...whatever we're called, Campaign for Civil Unions or some such, I got a great email about this Rebecca Leighton blog post about what everyone can do to help with this situation, which I am going to repost here. THESE AREN'T MY WORDS! Don't link to me if you like them, link to Rebecca's post.
