chopchica: where's MY parade? - my question is, in fandom ... why have I yet to see any of these issues about Judaism and anti-Semitism addressed? -
ladysorka: Warning: this post contains some TMI - Sexuality is not binary. Sexuality isn't even a trinity. Sexuality does not start at the moment you have your first orgasm at the hands of another person. Sexuality does not even start when you stand up and say to the world "I Am [Label]." -
castalianspring: Farscape Renaissance - The timing has to be right to watch certain shows, I feel, and now is just the time for Farscape. In the past few weeks I've watched as fast as I can download ... and just wallowing in how much I love my show, and how much I've missed it. -
elfwreck: How LJ *should* have reacted - There are companies willing to stand by their stated principles ... [Lj] should've said, "we're trying to cover our asses legally ... 'if someone thinks we're hosting illegal content, they need to bring a court order, not a save-the-children rant.'" -
bowtrunckle: RED DEMONS AND YELLOW PSYCHICS: COLOR ASSOCIATIONS AND THEIR ROLE IN SUPERNATURALâ™S VISUAL LANGUAGE - Light and color are the most basic and powerful elements in visual storytelling. Television shows employ certain lighting techniques and/or repeat specific color combinations to create a signature style that eases viewers into a visual comfort zone -
fandrogyny: Fanthropology: Newitz vs. Anime - To be fair, she wrote "Anime Otaku" before ... Mechademia that focussed solely on anime and manga was publicly available. But Newitz fails to announce her theoretical framework. She makes her points as though they are self-evident -
pojypojy: On why we tend to blame Lily for possibly the wrong reason. - I think that the blame for the end of their friendship lies on both Severus' and Lily's shoulders. The fact that we are still debating it, and fans come up with totally opposite conclusions, is mostly JKR's fault. -
bellatrys: Folks, Bullshit comes in "Apology" flavor, too - In other words, it's an apology told by an idiot, signifying nothing. And a grandiose idiot is exactly what Rapleaf's founder is - just like This Guy I used to work with, only a lot better at the bullshitting than he was. -
nhw: More on RapLeaf - My reputation, and yours, are not going to be reducible to a number (or a set of numbers) in general, and RapLeaf's ambition of doing precisely that for everyone on the Internet is impossible to achieve -
bellatrys: FYI - stay far away from Quechup and Rapleaf - and Quechup will suck up all your contacts and spam them in turn if you subscribe to it. So nix 'em both, don't get involved -
technosage: Painting a gold star on my shoulder - when someone clearly is being anti-Semitic, and since I'm Jewish and vitriolic on the subject of anti-Semitism, I ought to call them on it.[...]But... I don't. -
amireal: Hushed. - I didn't post during ibarw because it didn't occur to me that anything in my life counted or would possibly be welcomed.//I feel hushed.//I feel silenced. -
r_becca: fluff poll - I still keep thinking about fluff.... it's clear that some people mean it differently than others do. -
