Let's begin with an understanding that wuxia is very firmly rooted in the politics of the country that makes it, in the same way that works of art in other countries are often very firmly rooted in their own politics. And that it's not that difficult to turn a previous rebel into a beloved part of the traditional canon.

Eisner and Ignatz Award-winning The Nib is closing down at the end of August, but plans to keep the material up and maintained on the website, which will involve costs and hopes for donations to keep their material archived and in good working order.

dhobikikutti has resigned from volunteering with the Organization for Transformative Works after the continued lack of accountability and doubling down on not explaining what the specifics were of a disciplinary action that is long on feelings and short on actual actions to be sanctioned.
FIDE, the international chess body, has decided to exclude trans women from women's chess tournaments, because…well, no actual reason. Also contains the fact that the women's tournaments exist in the first place because of rampant harassment and misogyny against women in chess right from the beginning of competitive places.

Last for tonight, the gamification of our lives does not understand, nor really celebrate, those situations where we rest, or ramp down before doing something important, or listened to our limits and respected them. It understands streaks and "numbers go up" and it encourages pushing past limits or ignoring things and treating counts as minimums, rather than warnings or maximums. The tech and the notifications and the tracking can be designed better, but it isn't, not yet, and in doing so, it excludes and alienates a large swath of people who would otherwise be more interested in using the technology or those specific tools.
And beyond that, the danger of using "taste" as a way of imposing your personal morals or culture on someone else or to make them feel uneducated and stupid. This particular article is about taste in books, but the form of that insult can be applied to almost any aspect of culture.
A zine about the experience of being bipolar, and what the meds can do, and what it can feel like, both on the meds and off of it.
