I have a similar sister-in-law, sometimes I discover she knows and likes the same things I like that no one else I ever knew in real life also liked, like Digimon, Inuyasha and even Junji Ito mangas, funnily all things that my sister hates and want distance from. I even joke with my sister sometimes that she got the…
Romanticide is truly outrageous
romanticide
Sadly... my family is not the least bit interested in my geeky interests save a favorite, beloved cousin who loves anime and comic books. My little brother indulges me from time to time, but I strongly suspect he does this to be nice, rather than out of any genuine interest. He digs a few anime I don’t, but doesn’t…
Let me list them:
No, boob window is Magik. Emma Frost’s costume has full torso cleavage. Frost is fully in tears in the scene showing Black Bolt having a stern word with Cyclops. Magik and her boob window are to the right.
The funny thing is that my sister-in-law and I seem to watch a lot of overlapping nerdish interests according to a mutual friend, but the SiL doesn’t actually *talk* to me about any of it (or pretty much anything else). I expect we’ll all be talking about Westworld this time around. At least I hope this is the case…
My dad was a physics geek and had a PhD in engineering, I’m a computer geek and pursuing my degree in computer science. We shared an interest in photography. In fact, he was the one who introduced me to it. I remembered when he taught me how to use his SLR (film, not digital). He also introduced me to the wonderful…
A few Thanksgivings a go, I turned on TNT that was running a Castle marathon. My mom, screams, “Oh, Castle is on?” The entire room stopped and turned to look her, mouths open.
Nothing with my Dad (he scoffs at practically everything fictional), but I share my love of fantasy with my Mom (though she’s generally frustrated by Game of Thrones), and a few other things (she really liked Firefly after I introduced her to it).
Are tiny houses geeky? Because my sister, brother-in-law, my partner & I will park ourselves in front of tiny house building/buying/touring shows for hours on end nerding out over all the fun little stuff. I wonder if this is just dollhouse furniture wish fulfillment?
My Mum’s got a soft spot for superheroes. I think it started when I was watching Batman:TAS one Saturday morning and she came round from the kitchen saying “who is that speaking?!” (It was Kevin Conroy, naturally). We’ve watched the Nolan Batman films, and the better Marvel films.
My god. Every time I look at the state of a comic I used to buy in one of these articles I remain content that I dropped it when I did, ‘cause I’d be hella pissed at all this shit. I have had more than enough of this need to take the square good guy characters and either trash them to shit or kill them outright. With…
Actually, he didn’t get anywhere close to what he deserves as a tongue lashing. They were more polite to him than he even deserved.
Actually, it’s a federal law! So they are absolutely entitled to a room, and the company has no right to refuse! Have a great day.
They’ll pay her in lossless copies of “Lemonade” and “Rebel Heart.”
My company is actually building a nursing room in one of the buildings on our campus. It’s a pretty conservative food-manufacturing company, too.
It’s the least I can do and I only wish I had started sooner.
I had a lightning bolt moment this summer. While reading up on Pence I remembered a college course in Women’s History during which the professor wept as she spoke of Margaret Sanger and the death of Sadie Sachs. At the time I was a 19 year old from a farm…
I really dislike people talking about misogyny and racism as opposing, even competing forces. Even if it wasn’t overly simplistic, it implies that misogyny and racism are two discrete, non intersecting forces of oppression, and that misogyny therefore only happens to white women. Women of color (like Holtzclaw’s…
Holtzclaw previously suggested to ABC that all the women he raped are just saying that for money.
oh just fucking fuck everything.
