I’m pretty sure I’ve posted this before, but it always bears repeating.

Today’s posts are inspired by a chapter in Bram Dijkstra’s fascinating book Idols of Perversity: Fantasies of Feminine Evil in the Fin de Siecle entitled: “The Cult of Invalidism.”
Much has been written about the the late nineteenth century (and particularly Victorian) obsession with images…

I’ve been getting a bunch of messages in my ask box, some supportive, some not. And I do want to point out and thank anons for not being particularly nasty or volatile in their disagreements! I do appreciate that our opinions differ and we are probably just not going to agree on this, and thank…

Atheism. Communism. Free love.: So, hey, Tumblr, let’s talking about subtext. Specifically queer subtext and why I’d appreciate it if people would stop…

I’m sorry, I fail to understand how reading characters as queer and paying attention to subtext when textual queer characters and relationships are absent from the original...

In all seriousness, in the comics business, once you create a character—that is it. That character is not yours anymore. It’s up for grabs for anyone to use. Yes, there is a thing called respect where some writers won’t touch a character since the writer…

stfusexists:
This has been all over Tumblr, so I’ll be surprised if anyone hasn’t heard about it, but this is the latest bullshit coming from the anti-woman Congress.
The GOP is seeking to limit the definition of rape so that only certain types of rape will qualify for taxpayer funds for abortion. Nevermind, of course, that this undermines the already constantly under fire. Nevermind, of...

Mom: Do I look good in this? Isn't it too flashy?
Me: No, it's ok, you look fine.
Mom: Are you sure I don't look like one of those, those ones, the ones with Commander Spock? Or Captain Spock. Whatever.
Me: Mom, it was Kirk who was Captain.
Mom: No, I mean Spock, the one with the ears!

So just now I was talking about how I planned to relax this weekend and resume studying HARD on Monday.
Except I accidentally said “…and I’ll go back to level grinding on Monday.”
The other day I called the way I’m kind of pathetically stumbling forward in school without actually learning much of anything “a low level challenge.”
I’m listening to my headphones at an uncomfortably loud volume, I’m probably going deaf. But the dude sitting right next to me in class is playing some fucking awful drum&bass shit really loud in his laptop and I refuse to endure it. If I’m getting a headache it will be on my own terms.
Behold my maturity.
