I’m so relieved… thedailywhat: False Alarm of the Day:  In light of an explosion of news stories about cannibalism over the past week, the Centers for Disease Control have issued a statement reassuring us that zombies are not real, and we can go about our business without fear of a zombie apocalypse. People eating each other’s body parts due to the effects of synthetic drugs, on the other hand … The CDC told the Huffington Post that “CDC does not know of a virus or condition that would reanimate the dead (or one that would present zombie-like symptoms).” Well, that’s reassuring, coming from the same agency that has a detailed webpage about zombie apocalypse preparedness. If anyone needs me, I’ll be in my bunker. [gawker]

An amazing woman. fuckyeahhistorycrushes: Krystyna Skarbek, GM, OBE, Croix de guerre (Polish pronunciation: [krɨˈstɨna ˈskarbɛk]; born 1 May 1908[1] in Warsaw, Poland; died 15 June 1952 in London,England) was a Polish Special Operations Executive (SOE) agent. She became celebrated especially for her daring exploits in intelligence and irregular-warfare missions in Nazi-occupied Poland and France. She became a British agent months before the SOE was founded in July 1940 and was one of the longest-serving of all Britain’s wartime women agents. Her resourcefulness and success have been credited with influencing the organization’s policy of recruiting increasing numbers of women.[2] In 1941, she began using the nom de guerre Christine Granville, which she legally adopted on naturalisation as a British citizen in February 1947.[3] Although there is no reliable evidence that she was a friend of Ian Fleming, Skarbek is said, by some, to have been the inspiration for Bond girls Tatiana Romanova and Vesper Lynd.[4] -Stabbed to death by a jealous lover in a hotel in June 1952.

An amazing woman.

It is Glades time. Yesssss.

Summer means the end of hockey season, the beginning of hurricane season, and the Glades coming on tv. I love this show, and not just because it happens here. Someone go get into it so we can go all fangirl over it.

So I bring you two things, to tempt you.

One: a picspam of the delicious lead character. He’s a smartass with a penchant for poking things with golf clubs, asking rude personal questions that have nothing to do with the case, and best of all, doing interrogations while eating. (If the drinking game was “take a shot every time Jim talks with his mouth full” you would not know how the episodes end.)

And two: a ficlet of sorts, a fragment from a Glades/Castle crossover that I’ll probably never finish, but enjoyed writing far too much to let it gather dust on the drive. [Here]

Of course they did!  A Monarch’s first duty is to assure a succession!  The British succession crisis had occurred barely three years earlier and they knew their modern and earlier English history.  and besides, Team Licentious Trees!!!

Oh gosh, yes, what an amazing person. intrikate88: smdy: itsinthetrees: ultimotango: During World War II, Josephine Baker served with the French Red Cross and was an active member of the French resistance movement. The French Resistance was a group of individuals who helped to win the war against the German Nazis enemy with undercover work. Using her career as a cover Baker became an intelligence agent, carrying secret messages written in invisible ink on her sheet music. She was awarded honor of the Croix de Guerre, and received a Medal of the Resistance in 1946. In 1961 she received the highest French honor, the Legion d’Honneur from French president Charles deGaulle. She would also tuck tiny notes into her skirts when she did burlesque routines, and would dance up to the intended recipient and let him pluck it out.  Really brave, really smart, really interesting lady, on top of all her artistic talents. how cool is she? Attention rthstewart.  BAMF alert.
