Hot Blogging Community: Twenty Something Bloggers
20SomethingBloggers
@20SB
Since my freelance gig went under, and so did the community that followed it, I’ve been looking for ways to connect with other writers who also hustle for page hits.
Recently, I discovered SB20. They seem to fit the bill for a social networking platform that meets my needs as an online writer.

My only criticism so far is that they can’t figure out if they want to stylize it to Twenty Something Bloggers or 20 Something Bloggers. I want to know for consistency purposes! Oh wait, there’s a forum for that question 🙂
I think this site has a lot of potential, but has a small enough community where you can still be able to interact with people on a fun and manageable scale. It’s a great idea and was executed beautifully; they have integrated lots of cool social networking features like chat, while keeping it simple. I would encourage other bloggers to join.
Hat Tip to Short Stories and Sustenance for hipping me to this site.

NYC Allegedly Mishandles 50 Cases of DNA Rape Evidence
Sorry to go to from funny to serious in one post. But, Jesus fuck, this is outrageous.
City Council Members Demand More Transparency From Medical Examiner’s Office
–
On top of demanding answers about that particular case, City Council members were looking for more general accountability from the ME following revelations the office mishandled DNA evidence in over 50 rape cases.
This is on top of the picture scandal in the Bronx over a dead body hanging out in a health department truck with household trash bags.
Demand transparency from your state. Demand transparency from your health care professionals.
I’ve spent too much time working in healthcare to know that providers who make mistakes are often not above covering their own tracks.
Sigh.

Sorry, guys. I’ve been neglectful of my cross-posting. Yes, I know tweets have an easy embed feature, but I like the way this looks better.

Ask Dan Savage Anything: Gay Advice For Straight Couples
I know two Dan Savage video Andrew Sullivan re-blogs are a lot for one week. But his advice is so so so so good. He makes great points about qualitative differences between gay and straight sex. Communication is the best thing for good sex.
Dan suggests a four-word question that every straight couple should consider adopting into their sex life:
Dan’s new book, American Savage: Insights, Slights, and Fights on Faith, Sex, Love, and Politics, is in bookstores now. My recent conversation with him at the New York Public Library is here. Dan’s previous answers are here. Our full Ask Anything archive is here.
Where is Edward Snowden?
WaPo breaks down the latest Edward Snowden/NSA news.
U.S. charges Edward Snowden with espionage in leaks about NSA surveillance programs
Federal prosecutors have filed a sealed criminal complaint against Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who leaked a trove of documents about top-secret surveillance programs, and the United States has asked Hong Kong to detain him on a provisional arrest warrant, according to U.S. officials.
Where is Edward Snowden now? Specifically in Hong Kong? They don’t know.
But I have a guess.
The Giant Rubber Duck. Hong Kong.
It’s brilliant. C’mon.
Well, brilliant until it moves back to US. How much would that suck. If he fell asleep in the duck and wakes up back here.
