It is. Her father is played by an Egyptian-Canadian actor and is Mr. Kwan so presumably she’s a Latina playing a biracial character.

I do think we need to simultaneously take the victory and push for more and figure out how to do that without being negative to the point of driving creators away from wanting to do it because they see it as an issue on which people are unpleaseable (for example there is the issue of how visibly queer a character…

There was also comparing Sera as the lesbian romance option to Dorian as the gay romance option in Inquisition. A lot of people felt Sera had some of the worst writing of any of the romances while Dorian had some of the best and felt it a big contrast. It came out that Dorian was written by a gay man, explaining his…

As a Floridian I spent so many months reminding people of Nader. And I was only a kid for Nader. I still remember it well.

I mean at least when the Kingpin is diabolical it makes solid business sense, he’s planned it well in advance, and he has a fall guy. Fisk would be investing in green energy by now so he could monopolize the market later and get good PR at the same time. He’s smart like that.

Exactly. The situation is extenuating and the sheriff made the right call. There are plenty of non-corrections law enforcement jobs she can get if it’s really that important to her. Desk jobs aren’t glamorous but they’re important. There’s guarding the evidence lockers at the station if she really has the urge to…

Yep. I mean the orphan thing REALLY throws it off too since okay, nationally English but his race is still just any race capable of being really pale. Which is your typical European White, some paler Asian populations, some parts of the Middle East...

Pretty much. I mean the anime was big among teen anime fans in the states in the late 2000s—hell, tons of schools banned Death Note notebooks since there were stories of people writing kill lists in them. So really I think Netflix is bragging a bit much about “bringing it to the world” when it’s a pretty big series…

Right. One super wealthy family earning ten million a year contributes less to a local economy than 100 families earning a hundred thousand. Sure the wealthy family may pay more for some thing, liek buy a ton of food for a big party or making some big ticket purchases, but how much of that really stimulate the local…

Hell there was an article on the guardian just yesterday about how retails’ having trouble because people don’t have enough money to spend and the market is oversaturated with sotres because of it. Retail depends on the working and middle class, not the super rich.

I always assumed L was English. Never really pinned down ethnicity beyond “pasty” but nationality I assumed was English.

Probably Light given L is adopted and his backstory is vague.

I don’t. Hot liquids and me rarely mix. There’s one ind of instant coffee and that’s it. And I wouldn’t ut it int he thermos since I only drink small amounts at a time.

I’ll admit I got a good thermos in middle school. I had been bringing water bottles but I wanted something cold that wouldn’t sweat and mess with my books so dad got something.Our school had like, three water fountains and very short in between class times. So the only way you were getting anything was lunch or maybe…

Seriously those dresses (okay dress and pantsuit with cape) are two of the nicest I’ve seen in a while. They’re both unique without being bedazzled all over or trying too hard. I mean Samira has just reminded us all that simplicity can look elegant as HELL no need for extra bells and whistles. 

I wanted to see what easily came up on google. Like if someone was looking generally for “online museum exhibits” what came up first that wasn’t an ad? What would they be introduced to? I picked from the first four pages. They did end up being all US though.

If its not for you it’s not for you. Definitely my fave FPS.

I know, I was stunned! I was sure they’d be good! But then the Crocker took some hits too, didn’t have as many objects as it could have compared to similar and smaller locations.

I went there first semester of undergrad it was amazing! I loved it there!

Have finished data collection for my thesis, finally. The survey took forever to get off the ground and then BAM 80 takers in a week. Yay social media.
