* BPAL Tea swap (They send you a giant box of mixed teas. you test stuff, take things you like, and put new stuff in for the next person) sign ups here: http://www.bpal.org/index.php?showtopic=32408&st=1525&start=1525

* There's a debate up on the BPAL site about swapping frimps. It's so weird to me; when I give or swap something to someone it's no strings attached. I don't check up on what people do with the swaps and frimps I sent them. i don't care what they do with them after. it's weird to me that people care enough to track people they swapped with to see what they do with the imps.

* Stunning Shower cakes, including an amazing topsy turvy: http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/2010/01/sunday-swets-baby-showers.html

* Rm found a follow up thing on the Swiss anti-Muslim thing, and a summary of similar movements in Europe: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/17/arts/design/17abroad.html

I remember being shocked as a young teen by the anti-Algerian racism that was completely open in French culture.

* Also Rm found, a thing on race and Regency inspired fic: http://zvi.dreamwidth.org/587659.html

I haven't read the story in question, but the description makes me wince.
