I probably wouldn't kick them in the balls, but I would absolutely give them a piece of my mind. I've done it at cons before and I'll do it again.

One my favorite things to do at HeroesCon is to commiserate with Tom Lyle, the original artist of Stephanie Brown as the Spoiler. He makes royalty money off of her character whenever she's portrayed as the Spoiler, so DC's shenanigans regarding her has pissed him off too. Consequently, he seems to be totally game to

I've decided that I am no longer cosplaying DC characters that currently exist. As much as I may want to cosplay Supergirl, Nightwing, and even the Silk Spectre, I am too pissed for that. I'll still cosplay Stephanie Brown's incarnations, but that's because a) I love her more than any other character, and b) the DC

At this point, there are certain artists, writers, editors, and execs that if I ever go to a con with them in attendance, I would risk con security to kick them in the balls. If anything, I'll at least verbally tear them a new one, even if it means waiting in line an hour to do so.

I should hope they are.

This makes me so angry that I want to cry. My favorite characters are at the mercy of this awful, awful company and I can't do a damn thing about it. Marvel's not perfect, but I at least have Captain Marvel to soothe my angry, feminist, nerdy soul.

Oberondesign.com. They do beautiful work and make covers for pretty much every major ereader (and then some). They're a bit pricey (my cover was about $70), but when you consider that most good quality covers go for at least $40, the extra $30 doesn't seem bad at all. You can get a great resale value or an even trade

Being a book nerd in college and having to lug two large heavy boxes full of books + a bookshelf up three flights of stairs will cure someone of the "I ONLY READ REAL PAPER BOOKS" mentality super fast. Speaking from experience. And my Kindle cover (plus the skin I have on it that looks like parchment) add plenty of

I didn't even bother buying that shit. I pirated it to see what the hype was about (and subsequently laughed hysterically through the entire novel).

I've read better smut written by 15 year old virgins on fanfiction.net. I probably wrote better smut as a teenaged virgin myself back in the day.

You know those sensory deprivation chambers? You know, the ones that are so quiet that they drive people insane? I wish they had shoved that asshole in there, all by himself, in the dark, with no blankets or anything and just a meager amount of food and water shoved in through a slot in the wall every day. That would

He's an avid lindy hopper, so I'm sure he's going to rock it.

SO FUCKING EXCITED. In addition to a lot of people that I actually like being on the show this season, BILL NYE IS A LINDY HOPPER AND I FUCKING LOVE HIM AND DGLSAHGHALHAL I HOPE HE WINS. But seriously, though, he is a treasure to the lindy hop community and maybe if he does lindy on the show DWTS will have real lindy

Hmm, how funny is it then that that "unflattering pose" and "unflattering style" is directly based off of a well-known classic work of American art?

I'm just sick of being pelted from every direction in the media the perception that if you're even the slightest bit "chunky" then you're "fat". It's like, people, there is a large spectrum of sizes out there, far more than just "skinny" and "fat", but that's the simplification that women are inundated with every

Try listening to it being read by a Kindle or some other text to speech type thing. It was hilarious when I was just reading it in my head, but when I started listening to the robot reading it, I nearly died.

That was my first thought too and for some reason I find it incredibly hilarious.

Yes. This times infinity.

Fuck you- that Wonder Woman's body looks a lot like mine, which is refreshing to see. "Fat" to you is "normal" (and quite healthy, thank you very much) to me and a lot of other women. So seriously, fuck you and take your body policing elsewhere.

And I have zero problems with this. When I was younger, I long complained about the nazi enforcement of my high school's dress code, while giving the cheerleaders a free pass in a uniform that clearly broke that dress code. In colorguard, we wore our band sweats and t-shirts on game day, but not the colorful leotards
