Some links

[pameladean]

Edited to add: lsanderson has kindly provided working links in the first comment.

Or, actually, no links, because LJ is persistently borking them. But the user links to journals work all right, and you shouldn't have to scroll down far.

First, via ginmar, adelheide is having a jewellery sale. I am mostly an all-elisem, all the time kind of person when it comes to jewellery, but some of this stuff is really gorgeous. And adelheide's car needs new brakes.

Second, lydy, my co-wife and housemate of 18 years and counting, has written a series of posts about the life-saving and empowering effects of food stamps, which program and its effects altogether too many politicians are trying to cripple or eradicate. The posts should be read in the order they were written, so find "The Farm Bill" first, and then "Talking to Republicans" and finally "The Case for Institutions."

I'm sorry I can't provide links. I have no idea what LJ is up to. I've done this before. I have a new computer and a weird new operating system (Windows 8), but it shouldn't affect plucking a link from the address bar, should it? Anyway, LJ is correcting the links by adding "preview" in there and then if you click on the improved link you get a Google window saying the website is not found. Yargh.

The trick to posting links, photos, and all the other stuff that used to be embedded is to choose the right tab when making a post.

You may pick "visual editor" or "HTML." HTML is what LJ used to use, the visual editor is more WYSIWYG, but raw HTML won't work in it.

Thanks! I'm used to HTML, but I guess I'll play around a bit and see how it all seems.

The Republican Party, as it is currently constituted, seems to be made up entirely of Mr Bumble, the officious beadle in Oliver Twist.

I was about to say, only less funny and more dangerous, but you know, really, you're right. It's just less funny when it's one's own century and one's own life.

Thank you for posting these. A great antidote to a visit from my mother and allll the Rush Limbaugh...

Oh dear oh dear. So glad they were timely.
