    <a
    href=\"http:\/\/www.hivaware.org.uk\/act-aware\/support-campaign.php\">World
    AIDS Day<\/a> is 1 December. Click that link and contact your MP to get
    better HIV education into classrooms. And do what you can to fight HIV
    stigma, because a) stigma is a load of oppressive shit; b) it&#8217;s a
    problem that encompasses a load of feminist issues (for more on this tune in
    next week &#8211; several of us work in related sectors and will be blogging
    some WAD-related musings), and c) if you think simply knowing some basic
    facts about how HIV is contracted is all you can do to &#8220;act
    aware&#8221;, you&#8217;re wrong. Especially when the media so often fail
    enormously at reporting either sensitively or accurately on it.<\/li>\n

    NASA&#8217;s added a new webpage to its site <a

    PINK FOR LAYDEEZ font, mind, but it&#8217;s great to see.<\/li>\n

    Two contrasting views on Twilight, both thought-provoking: the Hairpin <a
    href=\"http:\/\/thehairpin.com\/2011\/11\/our-bella-ourselves\">points out
    the parallels with romantic literature in the Western canon<\/a>, while i09

      Have a great weekend! The next linkpost will be in December, meaning we
      will waste no time in being horrendously cheesy, flinging mince pies
      around, and singing The Waitresses (IT IS OFFICIALLY ALLOWED FROM 1
      DECEMBER ONWARDS. YES) but nonetheless continuing the feminist pop culture
      adventure amid the silliness. :)<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy
