The Lower East Side Librarian Library of Congress Subject Headings of the month for Month 8, August 20, 2012 are:
150 Blood as art material [May Subd Geog] [sp2012002315] (A)
550 BT Artists' materials
Do you think this heading encompasses menstrual blood art, or should there be a new heading for that?
150 Castration anxiety in motion pictures [Not Subd Geog] [sp2012002559] (C)
053 PN1995.9.C344
550 BT Motion pictures
150 Civilization [Not Subd Geog] [sp 85026423 ] (C)
450 UF Barbarism ADD FIELD
I'm not sure Barbarism means what they think it means. Maybe they're confusing it with Barberism, thinking that short hair and a clean shave signify civility?
150 Encyclopedias and dictionaries in popular culture [May Subd Geog] [sp2012002488] (C)
550 BT Popular culture
680 Here are entered works on the representation of encyclopedias and dictionaries in popular culture.

The warrant is Life or Lexicography: How Popular Culture Imitates Dictionaries, which I gotta say sounds rather sexy, even if it is just a journal article (from Dictionaries: Journal of the Dictionary Society of North America and not even a whole book or several books on the topic (like there are for some subject headings for which I've been known to advocate.
150 Extreme environments--Microbiology [May Subd Geog] [sp 93000526 ]
550 BT Geomicrobiology ADD FIELD
It would be great if LC decided that the word EXTREME should always be in all caps.
150 Gay ocean liner passengers [May Subd Geog] [sp2012002437] (C)
550 BT Ocean liner passengers
Does "gay" modify "ocean liner" or "passengers"? Please let it be the former!
150 Hello Kitty (Fictitious character) in art [Not Subd Geog] [sp2012002052] (A)
If this was only Hello Kitty (Fictitious character) in ZINES I could add dozens of records.
150 Subversive activities in mass media [Not Subd Geog] [sp2012002576] (C)
550 BT Mass media
