- gnatkip: Glee art - Inspired by the many thoughtful posts I've seen discussing Glee's portrayal of race, gender, ability, sexuality, and abuse -- and also inspired by Strange Maps, GraphJam, and sensory/motor homunculi -- I had an idea to diagram the representation of Glee's characters. -

were_lemur: Fuck It. Deal Me In. - For every character female character who is killed off, turned evil, or just plain not mentioned to make way for the mansex, there's one who is warped out of character so that she's incomplete without a man or gives up her badassitude for babies for no other reason that she's found her one true (male) love. Just because het centers on women doesn't make it automatically feminist, and there is slash with strong female characters in supporting roles. -- wistfuljane: Act of Derailing - Here's the thing, derailing* is not whether someone has a relevant/interesting/excellent point to contribute to a conversation or being "on-topic." It's not about intention or space. It's about shifting the discussion away from a central focus, but more importantly, it's about deflecting the focus of attention away from the affected part(ies). -
- quinfirefrorefiddle: Talking to annoying people (and maybe just a little bit about them) - I've mentioned before that I worry about internet wank because it doesn't seem to allow for forgiveness. But I also worry about internet wank because it doesn't allow for time to grow. -
