Another Set - November 02016
Nov. 19th, 2016 12:46 pmGoing to start with posters for episodes of Batman: The Animated Series and a new stage show of Animaniacs, with a proper orchestra and the actors involved in the cartoon.
From there, Lucha Underground, which not only promotes women well, but takes the idea of the wrestling ring's storylines to excellent conclusions.
Observe the necessity and utility of disinformation in a campaign.
White as a color of supporting a woman's suffrage. Quilts for the victims of the Pulse nightclub attack, with enough materials donated to make the original goal more than 50 times over.
California passes a law to ensure all single-person restrooms in public buildings are gender-neutral.
A guide for people with insufficient information about menstruation.
Excellent racebends of white characters. The consumer of worlds role, because surely there's more than just one. The remagining of Belle in Emma Watson's hands.
On finding your friends in the Internet, from those who created The Toast.
The joys of finding clothing that fits and is clothing you want to wear. Along with a company that helps professional women get work fashion without having to try on everything. People being weird about whether jeans are appropriate past a certain age. Wearing fashion that lets you be proud of being queer and disabled.
Tips for telecommuting that help keep the work and the worker lively.
Fannish sweaters.
What it looks like to be supportive but clueless about your child's interest in clothes and fashion.
Statistics about which Shakespeare production is the most performed in our current time. Unsurprisingly, it involves men being asses.
Children as superheroes. Superheroes for children.
Sesame Workshop area a need to use Sesame Street to teach empathy and kindness, based on the surveys and focus group work with parents and teachers that the Workshop uses to make sure that the Street is the best it can be for today's children.
To oppose a pipeline running through their sovereign territory and underneath a major river, a very large gathering of representatives of the First Nations happened in North Dakota. While the industry says pipelines are safe, there's a lot of evidence against that assertion in just the last five years. So yes there will be protests to try and stop the pipeline from running through sacred ground.
Levity involving Vice President Biden's desire to explain thoroughly to the incoming people how they feel about him.
In far too many ways, skin color acts as armor against police intrusion.
Michelle Obama's final state dinner dress was, in fact, armor, being composed of chain arranged beautifully.
Luke Cage is a show stuffed to the gills with black men, but more importantly, black women, both on screen and off, black men and women with big talent, and that makes white people used to being the center of everything very uncomfortable. If they want comfortable whiteness, stick to the regular cinematic universe. Where they can also find women of any sort being invisibled, even in stories that are supposed to center them. (Give Agent Carter A Movie.) Suppressing women from stories has been the default for so very long that it has creeped out into real life.
Which is not to say that Luke Cage is perfect. If you're interested, though, a quick summary of Cage's comics.
Texts from superheroes, Luke Cage style.
Colored photos of early immigrants to Ellis Island.
New York state now has protections and requirements in place to help freelancers be less vulnerable.
The craft of writing - never predictable, occasionally profitable. Advice on the shortening of descriptions. Advice on ditching old ideas in favor of writing the story. Suggestions on worrying romantic relationships that work for readers. Things about the publishing industry that are normal but seem weird.
The use of the reset button on Star Trek: The Next Generation may be one of its greatest strengths, in that it allows anyone to join in at any point along the way and still understand everything.
Learning to listen to someone with a disability or communication impediment requires more active listening than active listening with someone less disabled. The chronically ill still need our support, even though they look like they're doing fine. Because sometimes there isn't a cure, or even a treatment, for what happens to your body. If your self-worth is tied to the things you do, disability becomes an issue.
The problems of doing a treatment that might not be better than placebo, the question of whether telling the odds and effectiveness is worthwhile, and trying to teach the next generation to detect bullshit claims. On the other side, a long history of keeping side effects of hormonal contraception secret from the women taking them.
Many things to learn about female reproductive organs.
The thought of using carefully curated adult films as conversation-starters about sexuality and what is realistic about sex. In the hands of a skilled instructor willing to squash a lot of preconceptions and ideas, it sounds like a decent idea, but I don't see schools giving the teacher enough latitude to manage it correctly. And blaming porn as a cause of toxic masculinity, rather than recognizing it as a symptom definitely doesn't help.
Expanding on the ideas of the Five Love Languages. Which I situate firmly next to ways of discerning emotional abuse in your relationships for very good reasons.
A profile of how Snopes became the most trusted fact-checker on the Internet.
Concept art for the Harry Potter films.
Comics creators being unwilling to hear criticism hurts both the fans and the story they're trying to tell.
A new book from Middle-Earth, written by J.R.R. Tolkien, edited and compiled by Christopher Tolkien, coming soon in 2017.
Fifty years of regeneration for The Doctor.
The power of Sundays in the Park With George.
Men written as sex objects. Women dating who met on The Bachelor.
Most people are down on romance novels because they have sex in them, which is because they're down on women being proudly sexual beings.
On coming to terms with being ace.
The power of a good story makes a haunted house with only one ghost very scary. The ways that film adaptations can make the writers of the books very mad. The apartments of the building supervisors of the New York Public Library.
The many regional variances that attempt to fill the gap of the second person plural pronoun in English.
A restaurant that gives you grandma's cooking by employing grandmas as the cooks. On the opposite side, while Soylent isn't people, Soylent bars should be disposed of.
Decanting wine into a container that looks like veins or other fluid-carrying vessels. A coffee press in the shape of R2-D2. Taking pictures of people after each of their first few glasses of wine.
A category for a science blogger: things I won't work with.
Technology says a 12 year-old has an app to help Alzheimer's patients by using external memory.
Everyone is trying to track you, including Google. Which becomes a problem, because pseudonymity seems to be the best way of keeping people both civil and engaged on a social platform. Even extensions meant to block ads are selling ads and letting them through.
The alphabet of what a partner goes through on a miscarriage.
Free courses from universities, good for knowledge, maybe for credit for extra cost.
Maintain good contrast in your web design so that you are readable.
Fearing synthetic chemicals is weird, considering how many of them occur naturally in things we consume without a second thought.
Watch things baking. Have some bubble tea. Learn about the foldable box that seems to be ubiquitous regarding Chinese takeout food. Enjoy geometric cakes.
A county covered in fog, illuminated by moonlight.
MIT may have found a way to make an incandescent light bulb much more efficient.
A perfect collection of retro in the NES Classic, which will have replicas of the joysticks and extra function controllers.
An interview with the person whose voice is on the first podcast.
Some of the least hospitable worlds that space agencies have observed.
A panel of which radio transmitters of the Deep Space Network are active. Touch an active one to see which object it is communicating with.
A history of many visual toys. Electronic games need to play more attention to their accessibility, which often could involve making the game payable by sound alone.
This to That, which asks you for which materials you want to adhere to each other, then tells you what adhesive to use.
A figurine version of the character in The Scream.
An experience of a Blue Man Group performance supposed to be friendly to the non-NT, which went well for them, especially when a staffer noticed distress and provided the perfect remedy.
What it was like for someone to spend twelve years in the Blue Man Group.
A brownstone for a feline, rings that become animals when the set is worn, a dog and the cardboard disguises made for them, fantasy creatures in clay, black cat mythologies, a whale where it is not normally, goats learning by observation, corvid behavior in storms, guilty cats, cats that can sleep anywhere, dogs with one ear cocked, dogs catching treats, baby animals, yawning puppies, animal friends of similar colors, comedic wildlife pictures, a very large dinosaur footprint, the memorial of a kraken attack that happened on Staten Island, pigeons have excellent visual distinction, the ways in which cats conquered the world, singing fishes, animal groupings, sea creature pouches, a cat in the middle of a bladeless fan, cat awareness and rescue cards, cat photographs replacing advertising, stuck cats, animals not ready for the end of summer, and care suggestions for older cats.
Last for tonight, the prevalence of warehouses in CW shows and pre-censorship films. Because juxtapositions are fun!
Origin stories of the "flying on a broomstick" aspect of witchcraft, which generally have to do with pleasure and hallucinations. The Urban Tarot, helping situate the magical in the city (New York City, specifically).
The ways in which written or spoken English is incredibly unhelpful to its own comprehension. The distinction and not distinction between shit and shite. The extra meanings and shifting statuses of punctuation marks. The perseverance and power of the parenthetical. The similarity of sounds across many languages. The differences of the same word describing a state of mind across the same language.
Using absorbent paper to fix book pages that have collected wetness.
Mottos for life and living that are good for self-care.
And, in an alternate universe, people who were old enough to have seen the passage of suffrage and the first woman president, had it happened.
