My Rotary fundraiser was last week, and the preliminary numbers look good. Today we'll get the final set. In the meantime, have a few links.

1) The tattooed costumer. Modern costume-wearers are frequently told tattoos are "not period." Er, not so. Did you know Winston S. Churchill's mother had a tat on her wrist?

2) A longish three-part series on modes of morality. To simplify (perhaps over-simplify) their are people for whom "one's moral standard of conduct for interacting with other people by default doesn't include all human beings – and that is considered a feature, not a bug. There is some, somewhat flexible, mental category of people to whom one owes moral conduct – but then there's everybody else."

3) Lydy Nickerson waxes wise on the problem with zero-tolerance anti-harassment policies.

4) An interesting concept - the best way to watch the Star Wars movies is in machete order. This is: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith and then Return of the Jedi.

5) A very good piece of historical fiction: Girl Waits With Gun. Highly recommended.
