Because they’re antisocial, unjust, cowards.

And as a seasoned executive in a non-profit, I will happily take all the manpower I can get to get a project off the ground while dodging the inevitable budget cuts that swirl year-round.

When it comes to bloggers/quasi bloggers, please consider pairing with GOMI for your coverage. They covered this 11 days ago, succinctly and brilliantly, with a ton of snarkable bites in the comments.

“The Confederate flag is still a staple at fans’ campsites throughout the South, and many fans associate the flag with their own regional identity in addition to racist sentiments.”

Oh, they care. Check out their facebook pages when a blog post is created about them - they care big time. I guess they thought they were going to be the Great White Hope of some magical whitewashed history of sci fi. They thought wrong.

Quick question to Larry and Brad (because we all know you have Google alerts on your name and can’t bear to avoid press on yourselves): When you decided to play the White Conservative Man Martyr role, did you bother thinking a few steps ahead to how future SF/F generations would perceive you, or did you just hope that…

Oh, she’ll get plenty more. Think about it - she became an abstinence only lecturer while also being an unwed mother. Won’t be that difficult for people to look the other way yet again.

Dollars to doughnuts says he isn’t the daddy. Mark my words, she’ll raise that kid single-mom style before she goes through DNA/paternity tests and it’s proven she was sleeping around.

Ah, but it’s important to remember, he wasn’t asking men, he was asking MRAs - whole other sub-level of humanity, and therefore a whole other level of risk.

+1. Fuck the gatekeepers.

Gaiman’s Sandman ran for 75 issues, was a complete arc, and featured some of the best illustrators of the time. You’ll get an amazing story and find artists who you can seek out in other works.

They promised us immortality.

Give it time. The pacing, especially if you’re reading it on the heels of Annihilation, will feel almost uncomfortable. I bet you’ll settle into it, and enjoy it.

Her article was straight garbage, but that’s a side point. A series of articles picking apart her essay, making her look a fool, would have done much more to ruin her reputation than to turn her into a martyr for MRAs and other women-against-feminism types. They shot themselves in the foot on this one.

‘Murica.

Exactly. This shouldn’t be a test of “manhood” (barf), this should be a test of “competent drivers”. Everyone should be able to check air pressure/change a tire, fit a windshield wiper, check and top up fluids, and if you started with an early 80’s hellbeast like I did, replace minor electric components. I’ve always…

I remember a few years back speaking with a very sweet coworker who was very religious, and her bemoaning the fact that her church’s attendence was dwindling. She concluded it was the Devil’s work. Having grown up Pentecostal and escaped, all I could think of was “Yup, the devils sitting in the pews”. Every time there…

These shorthand terms have been around for ages. See MUD since the early 1990s.

Ugh. Don’t. Don’t be that superfan that loooooves something and at the exact same time views it as this delicate little glass menagerie that’s about to shatter anytime something or someone happens on the show that you disagree with. A lot of us don’t like Moffat, but we don’t play hyperbole bingo every time Doctor Who…
