All slash leads to Star Trek
Or possibly I have that backwards?
So the other day, Te made a long, thinky post about why the treatment of characters of colour in both canon (primarily DC comics, but by no means exclusively) and fandom (same deal) creative works continues to be disappointing, and why that's not okay. Her post is part of a larger discussion going on in various ( Read more... ) -
As an alternative to STABBY RAGE...
Yeah, I've seen all the same scans showing that WIZARD magazine can hire utter tools to talk about (and demonstrate) drawing female comics characters that the rest of LJ-based comics fandom is frothing about today. Not gonna rant, per se. Plenty of that going on, and I just don't have the energy for a rant today.
Instead, a somewhat more zen ( Read more... ) -
Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day!
Nothing in this post has anything to do with the subject line.
I have just finished eating a delicious sandwich for dinner, the contents of which I felt like sharing. (LJ still needs a Current food: notation on entries. I'm just saying.)

The United States Senate will be voting this week on whether to issue a PARDON to George W. Bush for illegal wiretapping of, and possibly other crimes committed against, American citizens.MoveOn.org has a convenient ( Read more... ) -
It's not a GIP if I brought enough to share with the whole class, right?
Recent trends in comics fandom (and elsewhere) have been provoking my feminist rage pretty frequently, and I've been increasingly aware of my need for an icon that can express my feeling of GRARRR at such times.
Then Te and I watched a Robot Chicken rerun -- the one with the Santa Claus murder mystery, and the digression, "You ever see a yeti with ( Read more... ) -
normally I'm opposed to poking rabid dogs with sticks, but...
Okay, no, this is just too funny. It's too over-the-top crackpot for me to take it remotely seriously. (And it's not as if the rabid dog in question is a mere fence away, thanks to the internet...) This nutcase makes James *Dobson*'s rhetoric look centrist and coherent.

This is a post of happiness and yay. I kind of really need to make one, because I know what my next politics post is going to be about, and it's messing with my head even before I compose one word. So! Yayness!

I have been wanting to make this post for so long. And now I can!
First, all fans of Gotham comics, and particularly Dick Grayson, ought to go check out Five times Dick knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that Bruce loved him, as written by sanj for cereta. It's more gen than it might sound, but it's also still Dick and Bruce ( Read more... ) -
It's like some kind of unofficial meme: "Look what I found on YouTube!"
Yep, it's my turn now. (And a good thing it *isn't* an unofficial meme, as unlikely as I am to do those.) Look what I found on YouTube, everybody!
( A time capsule from my childhood which explains MUCH about why I got into comics the way I did. )
