exactly three links and a picture
♦ Slacktivist hits another one out of the park, this time on the subject of hate and it’s means of propogation.
♦ Most of the discussion surrounding the recent rumors about Marvel making a Black Panther movie revolves around casting, which makes sense (and I’m okay with pretty much any of the names floating about). What bothers me is the idea that a Black Panther movie somehow rules out the eventual existence of a Luke Cage: Power Man movie. Sweet Christmas, people, it’s not a zero-sum game. I think the universe (either the real one or the Marvel movie one) has enough room for more than one black superhero, don’t you?
♦ This week’s Savage Love hits on both reasons why I never miss Dan Savage’s column: The first letter ably captures the weird, silly, and oddly plausible, and the second is the perfect example of execellent advice to a common but often unmentioned problem, delivered simply and bluntly, with both humor and honesty.
♦ Finally, I shall never grow tired of this underappreciated meme:
apparently, I totally missed the fact that this was my 1000th post (if you’re counting from when i started using wordpress). Kind of anti-climactic, but oddly appropriate nonetheless.
