Short Story Giveaway! — Oddly, two books with stories from me and calendula_witch in them.
Offhand Flourishing — Art guru James Gurney on an art form of which I had never heard. I don’t think there’s a writerly equivalent to this one.

Anonymous Doc with some observations on what it means to die of cancer — [T]here are still a lot of diseases that don’t discriminate, that don’t care how good your doctors are and how much money you have. You still lose. Interesting. And, um, yeah.

“Forbidden” Archaeology — Anatomies of scam. As lt260 said, “His subject matter pertains to archaeology but it could easily, and he states this, apply to politics, creationism, tea bagging, [or] economics.” My favorite example of this, by the way, is Formenko’s New Chronology, which, not to put too fine a point on it, is every bit as intellectually and culturally bugfuck as Creationism or Flat Earthism. (Thanks to lt260.)
