Also! Check it out, all of Autostraddle’s vids are on One More Lesbian: all the world’s lesbian, film, television and video content on one site. Their like-minded mission: “We want any woman or girl anywhere in the world who seeks representation and affirmation, to land on OML and find it here.”

For example, I just found this – “International Day of Femslash: I’m Your Man, a celebration of film clichès” — and I feel very affirmatitated (You name it, it’s in there. Gia? Check. Saving Face? Tipping the Velvet? Imagine Me & You? Alias? Katherine Hepburn? Buffy? Battlestar? D.E.B.S.? Girl Interrupted? Tibette? Rent? EVERYTHING! I just made your day you can stop now!):

My goal is to do the physical appearance stuff in such a way that it is not comment-worthy.” (@villagevoice)

from Riese: Sociological and cultural based photojournalism like this will change the world, and has: Check out EPF finalist Carl Kiilsgarrd’s “The White Family“: The 2000 census found that nearly 23 percent of families living in Letcher County, Ky., fell below the poverty line. The median household income in most counties is at or below $25,000, with individuals making on average $12,000 a year. For more than three years I have documented rural poverty in eastern Kentucky through the eyes of the White family.

If there’s one thing I love it’s a janky workaround for a stupid problem. Want to get a better iPhone camera without buying the new iPhone 3G S? Get the
Griffin Clarifi case. The case has a built in lens that slides into place over the preexisting camera lens to make it much sharper and able to shoot closeups. And at $31 it’s far more economical than upgrading your phone. (@coolhunting)

    • I WATCH THIS VIDEO AT LEAST FOUR TIMES A DAY.

      the “oh, hey” t-rex KILLS ME EVERY TIME.

  1. Where have all the commenters gone? Is there a world outside the computer that I do not know about?

    I shall leave a real comment after reading every single thing on this daily fix. the end

  2. oh man. see what happens when i’m totally swamped at work?

    I like the nerdiness of these links. Internet and Rachel Maddow…it’s like you made this for me.

    also, question: suppose i were to find things that i think would have a place in a daily fix, where would i send them?

  3. I’m still lurking around I suppose… watched the femslash video for the Alias reference. I don’t know how many Alias fans are out there but I was addicted to the show for all its 5 seasons. I still have an obsession with Jennifer Garner that resulted in me watching every movie she’s ever been in. And yes, this includes 13 Going On 30. Sad, isn’t it.

    Anyway, just thought I’d make a comment. Still loving the site and still coming back every day – gonna miss it while I’m on vacation though.

  4. This Femslash video is amazing. I am overjoyed that Eve is going to be guest starring on Glee. I’m just excited to hear about anything Glee-oriented.
