• SF author John Scalzi has written a beautiful post about Things I Don’t Have To Think About Today.
  
• This may be a few months old, but here’s a still-very-readable article by Tiffany Daniels on Women in Music in 2010 with lots of snazzy recommendations.  Its parent zine, God Is In The TV, are hoping it’ll scoop a Record Of The Day Best Music Feature award, and if you dig it you can vote for it.  And if you like that, there’s more music blogging from Tiffany over at Drunken Werewolf.
• We like comics. We like activism and inclusivity. We like the Riot Nrrd webcomic! (We especially like the Joss Whedon puppy.)
• Muslims Wearing Things – a tongue-in-cheek reply to those tricky discussions about ‘traditional Muslim clothing’.
• It’s not out until December, but Julie Taymor’s directed The Tempest – with Helen Mirren as Prospero. Russell Brand is playing himself again, but this time scripted by Shakespeare. Surely an improvement.
• Peter Tennant writing for Black Static magazine breaks down the statistics regarding women’s writing in recent horror anthologies. Horror author Maura McHugh discusses the findings at her blog.
• No More Mutants – a new column by Andrew Wheeler over on BleedingCool on representation in Marvel Comics. The initial link is #4, or you could start with  the first one here.

This linkspost is the first of what’s going to be a regular feature.

Clearly you guys have damn good taste in your reading material if you’re reading BadRep, so if there’s anything you think we should be reading, or any projects in need of a signal boost, mention ’em in the comments and we’ll try and fit them into next week’s linkspam.
