Co-signed. Yes, I’m emerging from the metaphorical woodwork. I was slightly reticent to do so, as I haven’t been around that much, and I’ve not always been the best in checking my language, even as a PWD myself… (Crap, outed myself without the long post I’ve been meaning to write for months. I blame the fact […]

Tags: and now a word from our sponsor, feminist thought, fuck that noise: language talk, grinding my axe
So apparently Joss Whedon would like you to ignore what he says about himself being a feminist, in the context of his showsetc., because the author’s intention shouldn’t be relevant in deciding if a work is feminist. Sounds sensical, but I’d buy that a LOT quicker if he weren’t already milking the auteur role for everything […]

Dollhouse. As Micole says, I have no political justification for liking it. But I can’t help but watch it. I suppose you’ve seen one post, you’ve seen them all, but I have something to say, so I’m gonna say it. Behind a cut (apologies to those on the feed) for spoilers because I am Nice […]

Something Shy of a Manifesto
In lieu of a better post explaining this, as I need to restart…I’ve found these two thoughts come close to explaining how I feel about my engagement with rights issues and why I can’t subscribe to a single line of exclusionary rhetoric.

Of My Own Device
Because I really just don’t know where to start with the massive clusterfuck that is this year’s cultural appropriation SFF community ‘discussion’…rydra_wong on LJ’s been making linkdumps.

Tags: grinding my axe, race is a four letter word, second class fan citizens
I totally love when other people write posts that say what I wanted to say, but better. Admittedly, I’m also a little jealous, but still, it’s gratifying to know you’re not alone. So yeah, my frustration with the cult of Whedon is well-documented, and my frustration with those who would take the other end of […]
