sorcyress31 tabs open sounds like it's time for a sundries post, yeah?
*Interesting article talking about the new Spiderman through the lens of Jenny Swenson, a temporary alternate-universe Ironman. To wit, having a latino-black character? Suddenly gives a whole lot of latino-black kids a character who actually looks like them, which just doesn't happen.
*In Praise of Joanna Rowling's "Hermione Granger" series. There's a followup, too.
*My favourite post from the tumblr "Girls Love Superheroes".
*What Would Jesus Do If Invited To A Gay Wedding
*Dear Professor Shepherd: I am living the dream.
And if I ever decide to leave this place I call Home? Atlanta. Or Seattle. Or Portland. Or New York Fucking City. Or San Francisco. Or Christchurch, New Zealand.
I have solutions. You are never making me live in Columbia again, fates. We're on a strictly visitation basis.
*Warren Ellis's webcomic experiment, Freakangels, has ended. It is the next thing on my webcomics-reading list, after Homestuck.
(I love reading finished webcomics. It's nice to know that once you catch up, you're done. On a related note, 1/0, which seriously, I read about once every two years or so.)
*Shaenon Garrity (Speaking of amazing finished webcomics...) has started a new blog, to detail her tiki collection. That's entertaining enough, but then I read this weekend's post. In which there is an adorable comic about what Voldemort SHOULD have used for a horcrux!.
(As an aside, I love the idea of blogs devoted to showing off the cool things one has acquired. Once I have a proper living space, I might try doing so as well, because I do have some interesting things with interesting stories, like my aluminum cupcake, and my collection of dinosaurs drawn by webcomics, and the full story of my fantastic brass rose.)
*Cisgender news rewrites news stories about cis folk in the style of news stories about trans folk. It makes me laugh, and then it makes me sob.
*Super Mario based swing performance. Totally awesome. Special note tomoon_hotel and saberwing
*And lastly, for anyone who needs it, a button that will make everything okay.

MOOP!
