The Feminists Of Wakanda - Ta-Nehisi Coates
…There’s been an ongoing conversation about how women appear in comic books (and women who create comic books) for some time. With the advent of social media it’s gotten harder to ignore that debate. You don’t really have to be a admitted feminist to know what it means to be “fridged.” And whether you agree with it or not, a comic book fan has to be willfully blind to not be aware of the critique of how women’s bodies have been presented in the form.
The feminist critique is in the air now. If my rendition of Black Panther wasn’t created by that critique, it breathed the same air. I can’t really kill off or depower women characters without grappling with Gail Simone. I can’t really think about how women characters are drawn anymore without thinking about the women in Bitch Planet, and how they seem drawn beyond the male gaze.
This is why criticism is important… [+]

College students: I don’t appreciate the light-hearted dehumanization of fellow human beings

Hey Everyone,
Thursday I saw this little guy standing on the side of the 2 freeway in the rain here in Los Angeles. I pulled over and ran down with a pair of jeans from my trunk to pick him up, he saw me running and limped over to a pile of pine needles to hide. He let me pick him up. I took him right to the vet who let him stay for two nights. I picked him up this morning from the vet. He has a cast now for some broken toes. Hard to say if they were caused by being hit by a car or someone stepping on his foot. Anyone’s guess as to how he wound up on the 2 is as good as mine. He was incredibly matted and flea covered. I gave him a fleabath and had to cut some chunks out of his pretty coat but it’ll grow back.
He appears to be a Pomeranian or Pekinese mix. He had no chip or collar. He is extremely friendly, calm, and sweet. He’s scheduled to be neutered when he gets his cast off in a couple of weeks. Vet says he’s probably about 5 years old. Do you want to adopt him? Do you know anyone who wants to adopt him? I’ve been calling him Joe.
Please help find this nice guy a home! Please share!
BONUS PS side note, when I picked him up on the freeway, a couple of cars pulled over and shouted to me asking if I was okay. I said “Yes, I’m getting this dog here.” Then a couple of the guys, young sorta hip, ran up to me and were like “Bless you!” and I was like “Oh, thanks.” with my smug modesty. Then they said “We’re gonna pray for you!” and I said “Oh… thanks.” Then they sort of surrounded me a little and asked “Hey, do you know who Jesus is?” “Yes, I know who he is.” I said as I started making my way to my car. They walked and talked with me “But like do you have him in your heart?” one asked. “Did you know he rescues people, just like you rescue small animals?” “Have you been saved?” they asked. “Guys, I’m a Jew.” I said, my go-to line from back in Oklahoma. They continued with the spiel. “Guys, I’d love to stand here on the freeway in the rain and talk about Jesus, but I have to get this dog to the vet. Thanks!” I said. Quite a surreal afternoon.LA friends!! Adopt this dude so I can come give him pets when I come and visit next week!
The face the precious doggie face
