low details again

news article on The Hijabi Lolita, and her tumblr

website that creates quilt patterns from pictures. Not *exactly* cheap (depends on how many patterns one wants, and how much one is willing to pay), but interesting. 

online is IRL - fairly standard rant about the people you see on the screen usually have a real person behind them.

Tunisia hotel attack: Locals form 'human shield' to protect hotel from gunman [name]* - different perspective from those I had previously read. 

Wasteless pantry opens in the Perth Hills - not convenient for self, but nice that it exists. Among other things, aiming to decrease/cease to use disposable packaging. 

A flow chart against supposed 'religious zealots' reasons against gay marriage - I have complicated opinions on this one, especially the problematic 'interpreting other people's beliefs for them'. However, I'm going to want to find it again, if only to talk through aspects of it with the kids. There are some very good, well thought out, responses in the comments, better than the flow chart itself (yes, there are also blockheads in the comments as well). There are also people managing to disagree without resorting to ad hominem attacks and the like!
