Mental Sticky Notes

A racist woman is not a feminist; she doesn’t care about helping women, just the women who look like her and can buy the same things she can. A transphobic woman is not a feminist; she is overly concerned with policing the bodies and expressions of others. A woman against reproductive rights — to use bell hook’s own example, and an issue close to your heart — is not a feminist; she prioritizes her dogma or her disgust over the bodies of others. An ableist woman is not a feminist; she holds some Platonic ideal of what a physically or mentally “whole” person should be and tries to force the world to fit inside it.

Felicia Day Welcomes You to Geek & Sundry Vlogs! (by Geek & Sundry Vlogs)

Hey guys! Today we launch a new pet project of mine: Geek and Sundry Vlogs channel! We’ve spent a few months now searching for the right voices to put on this channel, where vloggers will talk about all sorts of subjects: Comics, writing, thumb wrestling, Jeff Lewis from the Guild…things… We’ll be adding more over the summer (maybe you!)

Anyway, it’s a way for us to use the platform and grow new voices in geekdom rather than rely on celebrities. I really hope you like them, please SUBSCRIBE if you do, and if you like a particular vlogger make sure to share their video! They are starting from scratch so literally every view counts for them!

Many thanks for your support :)

Star Trek Into Darkness wasn’t Very Star Trek

myjournalismresume:

A lot of things could be said of Star Trek Into Darkness. I’ve heard people say that it’s funny, or exciting, or full of twists. If I had to pick a word to describe it though, I’d go with disappointing.

Some minor spoilers below the cut.

I notice neither of you are talking to me. Which you should be. Right now.

And while we’re on the subject…

This whole thing with automatically jumping to assumptions about someone reblogging something that was made/wrote by someone who did/wrote gross shit in the past has got to stop.

This is a fucking huge website with a lot of people using it, and a lot of them don’t keep up with particular users and what they do and say. It’s fine to point something out to them if you feel it’s necessary, and it’s also fine to have boundaries for yourself and say you won’t follow anyone who reblogs from a gross, abusive blogger you want to stay far away from (like I have to now).

But people leaping down people’s throats for reblogging something someone wrote/drew/whatever, immediately assuming people are okay with the problematic shit the person did in the past that they probably didn’t even know about is just being an asshole and purposely looking for an excuse to cause drama and fighting.

I saw this one blog telling people to back off when they were jumped on for reblogging a person they didn’t know did problematic shit in the past (namely blackface). Apparently, they didn’t know about the blackface and reblogged something else from them (that was not blackface), and then the people running that blog were accused of reblogging and promoting blackface.

And then people said that their understandable and fair enough “we’re sorry for that, but can you please back off of our blog? we didn’t know.” reaction was a “fauxpology” and “passive-aggressive.”

Do you fucking dipshits even know what “passive-aggressive” is anymore? What the hell are you doing?

A lot of people on this site need to get a fucking grip on themselves. You’re fucking arrogant, egotistical bullies who don’t even know what the fuck they’re saying anymore.
