and now, METACEPTION
gyzym: as in, META ABOUT META. yes i know that’s not really how inception works—believe me, i really know that—but i don’t care. it’s catchy! and there’s also the fact that that’s what inception has come to mean, in current cultural vernacular: people took the concept the movie is structured around (to wit, dreams within dreams) and made its title into a word meaning “a thing within itself/a...

A person of color should not have to shuck and jive and placate you as a prerequisite...

Pro-Tip: Cis women are not the only people who can...
ladyatheist: This so called “war on women” is not just a war on cis women. It’s a war on anyone who needs access to safe, affordable, and accessible healthcare. If we want to make any real progress, we need to stop ignoring and erasing the experiences of trans*, genderqueer, intersex, and other nonbinary people.

On Shipping, Fanboys, and Feminism (Again)
patheticfangirl: I wrote a post about shipping, and it blew up in a way I never anticipated. Apparently my anger resonated with a lot of people, which is simultaneously amazing and sad. People who are completely outside the Avengers fandom have told me how closely my experience matches their own in fandoms ranging from Sherlock to the Legend of Zelda to Star Trek. It’s funny. If I had known...

Comparing the oppression of group A to the oppression of Group B.   *This does not now and never should include...
