In (slightly late) honor of the 30th anniversary of Batman: The Animated Series, resharing my analysis of its brilliant opening sequence. (Which is also the introduction to the blogging project I just resumed...) Cold Open (Introduction) jena.blue/2015/01/31/col… via @Froborr

@WhiteRabb1t_ Working on it, Amazon is being weird about the cover dimensions.

@GailSimone 1) Wonder Woman 2) Spidey 3) Raven (2000s cartoon) 4) Nightcrawler 5) pass 6) Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) 7) Spider-Gwen

Who is your favorite all-time member of each of these teams, in any version? 1) Justice League 2) Avengers 3) Teen Titans 4) X-Men 5) Legion of Super-Heroes 6) Bat-family (not Batman) 7) Spidey family (not Spidey) ? You can only name one of each.

I’m thrilled to be able to share with you an essay reviewing three recent books by Julie Bindel, Kathleen Stock, and Helen Joyce. These three books exemplify the intellectual and political commitments of the so-called “gender critical” movement. lareviewofbooks.org/article/gender…

Paul Atreides doth go to a Frensshe bakerye to picke up breade. Upon arrival at the Frensshe bakerye, Paul Atreides doth fynde that the bakeres have lefte a box for hym. "What ys yn the box?" Paul Atreides asketh. The Frensshe bakeres responde: "Pain."

Rest in peace. And thank you for speaking out so many years ago about the abuses of children in the Catholic Church when no other public figure would. What you suffered as a woman at the height of her career was inexcusable. Slan, Agus Beannacht de leath #sinead #sineadoconnor

Hegemony means believing your opinion is valuable in every conversation.

@mirandachats Well, enough people, or enough money. But there's definitely no deep-pocketed donors stumping for trans rights--quite the opposite, the richest man on Earth hates us because his estranged child and his ex-wife's girlfriend are both trans.

@mirandachats Nothing gets considered "must-pass" unless enough people make it clear to their reps that they insist on it. That's the only reason they're willing to take a stand on abortion, because there's a lot of women who are very vocally pissed about it (and rightfully so!)

Cis allies, we desperately need you on this one. Call your congresspeople, ESPECIALLY if they're dems/you live in a blue state, and make very clear that caving on trans rights is NOT acceptable.

@BarkBarkGrr He made a holodeck simulation of the entire Cerritos crew, then Mariner hijacked it to make her "movie"

@Froborr i dont remember that lol

i'm at a point where "boimler writes rpf about famous starfleet officers" is less a headcanon and more subtext.

Seriously, I'm enjoying this season so far but it desperately needs to be queerer. S1 hit bare minimum required queerness for a good season of Trek, and this season hasn't been anywhere near that.
