Mary Wollstonecraft, author of the classic Vindication of the Rights of Women and mother of Frankenstein author Mary Shelley, turned 250 last week. And now she’s on Twitter.

Some Firefox tabs I’ve had open for days now that I’m never going to write full posts about:
1. The Daily Beast has a guide to escorting on Craigslist; apparently Craigslist is something a lot of people didn’t know existed.
2. The fact that nobody buys albums anymore occasionally leads to pleasant surprises like the Pet Shop Boys having their highest-charting album in sixteen years.
3. Stereogum has some new Malcolm Middleton, though it may be his last for a while.
4. Most of the 33 1/3 books I’ve actually read are the poorest-performing ones, saleswise. (I’m still bitter about them not accepting my Faith proposal, though.)
5. If that nudey new video by hipster duo Matt & Kim doesn’t do anything for you, you might want to check out Matt & Khym, this hetero couple that made a dirty movie together in 2007. Matt’s kind of a fox, although I can’t say I like the tattoo or the earrings. I do like how this was shot, however. Also, when do you ever get to see people fucking that have known each other for twenty years?
6. Melissa Gira Grant proposes dismantling the internet’s red light district. She’ll be talking about it at Sex 2.0, the feminist sex conference coming up in DC next weekend (which I kind of wanted to go to, though not as much as the Pop Conference in Seattle that just happened.)
7. Curation: Possibly a dead concept (or at least one people don’t need an MFA for anymore.)
8. LA cops took all of the jewelry Rihanna was wearing ($1.4 million worth) the night Chris Brown was arrested. I know that was the night of the Grammys and she wasn’t, you know, on her way to Target or anything, but good Lord is that a lot of money. And, you know, something that didn’t need to be seized as evidence, especially as it was all loaned.
