Strange Horizons - Imagining the Celtic Past in Modern Fantasy edited by Dimitra Fimi and Alistair J.P. Sims By Debbie Gascoyne

It's now several years since they broke the "Blog This" thingy, rendering it useless with all those %20 thingies. 

The old one was also useful, as it didn't requite you to choose a blog, you could copy and paste it to a blog post, so you could "Blog This" several times into the same blog post. The new version no long has that feature, but it doesn't matter since what it produces is quite illegible, and they haven't even noticed.

Forgiveness Is Not Buddhist - Tricycle: The Buddhist Review

Forgiveness Is Not Buddhist - Tricycle: The Buddhist Review: The extent to which the notion of forgiveness has insinuated itself into contemporary Buddhist thinking disturbs me deeply. Although many may disagree with me, I feel that current interpretations of forgiveness in the Buddhist community undermine the teachings of karma, encourage the cult of victimhood, weaken human relationships, and obfuscate the practice of purification.
