snowed in
There’s well over a foot of snow on the ground and I don’t plan to leave the house anytime soon. Tonight is all about loading up my e-reader with new things to read. (Well, that and eating too many post-holiday leftover snacks!)

- Sara Levine, Treasure Island!!!

Social bee-haviour: The secret life of the hive
The extraordinary mental feats of bees are forcing us to rethink what we thought we knew about intelligence. Prepare to be surprised at what a tiny brain can do as we take a look at some of what these industrious honey-makers get up to.

HIP HOP’S QUEER PIONEERS
YES, THEY’RE ALL GAY, BUT THE SEVEN MCS IN THIS PORTFOLIO ARE AS DIFFERENT FROM ONE ANOTHER AS KANYE AND LIL WAYNE, WITH INFLUENCES THAT RANGE FROM NAS TO BJÖRK TO JEAN COCTEAU. YET THEY DO HAVE ONE OTHER BIG THING IN COMMON: THEY’RE INDELIBLY CHANGING THE FACE—AND SOUND—OF RAP.
The wording of this article weirds me out (conflating “gay” and “queer”), but I’m glad these folks are getting the exposure. Mykki fanclub 2k12!
