Fannish/Geeky Things
The casting news I saw all over the place yesterday was Gotham casting Alexander Siddig as Ra's al Ghul, but I would like to draw your attention to Amy Acker having just been cast as a/the female lead in "Fox's Marvel Drama".
muccamukk's going to be hosting an Agent Carter Rapid Rewatch.
And via
muccamukk, this "Captain America 76th Anniversary Celebration Post" on Tumblr is image-heavy and awesome.
familyex, a fanworks exchange focused on relationships between family members, is open for nominations.
Miscellaneous
"This Far-Right Tweet About "The Future That Liberals Want" Backfired Into A Huge Meme: “Religious freedom, kicky daytime drag looks, and a robust public transit program? SIGN ME THE FUCK UP.”" [Buzzfeed]
"Good Housekeeping Institute’s chores list is absurd - try this instead".
"Why Do We Still Blame Moms For Autism?" [Sarah Kurchak at The Establishment] (On Twitter, she adds "To be very clear, for anyone who wants to know before clicking the link, I do NOT let harmful parents off the hook in this piece.")
