The always delightful Bryan Q. Miller put a huge smile on my face by photoshopping my cat into this sad Comic-Con picture. Dewey on Mars FTW!

So, the wonderful and talented Katie Cook drew herself as a pony from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. I thought it was delightful and suggested she draw me. And she did. And I love it to pieces.
Yes, the bat symbol is my cutie mark. Yes, that’s my adorable kitty Dewey peaking out from behind my rump. Yes, Katie is my favorite forever. <3
Read her webcomic Gronk (and pre-order volume 2!)
Bizarre fandom collision.
Poor bastard.

Here’s the first trailer for Taken 2, aka Liam Neeson kicking ass and taking names Part 2. Before this was released, Susana and myself (Jill) discussed what we thought the plot of the sequel should be. It went something like this…
In Taken 2, Liam Neeson’s character is the one who’s taken. And instead of him freeing himself, his daughter (played by Maggie Grace), is the one who rescues him. Because the only logical course of action after the first film would be to train your daughter to be a master fighter/spy who could take care of herself so the same thing doesn’t happen again.
Conversely, it’s Liam Neeson’s older, more experienced father who comes to the rescue.
His father would be played by Sean Connery.
We’ll wait while you do reshoots.
My mom is very open to me about same-gender marriage. However, some adults may feel uncomfortable and think it’s inappropriate to talk about this to children. I think adults must realize that as children get older, they become aware of these mature issues that are going on in the world. If children read or watch the news, they can learn about things like same-gender marriage, so what’s the point in trying to hide it? … Some people are for same-gender marriage, while others are against it. Like President Obama, I believe that all people should have the right to marry whoever they want. Marriage is about love, support, and commitment. So who are we to judge? If we judge people like this, this is a form of prejudice.

Geek media doesn't exist in a bubble: themarysue.com is getting it right
It’s bound to buy them controversy, but The Mary Sue has been establishing itself as more than a hotspot for geeky women to get their daily dose of squee. Addressing issues of media misogyny, education, and now: choice. Geeks are not a politically homogenous bunch, no matter what gender they are, we’re a microcosm of a larger society. Taking on an issue as volatile as choice is risky, for a relatively young site. It is, however: the right risk. Although the article remains objective in reporting the facts without espousing a particular view on choice itself, it does take on the misogyny of legislators to their peers and highlights the fact that the vast majority of people trying to dictate what anyone with a uterus or vagina does with their bodies, are people who don’t share the anatomy they’re trying to control.
Women are geeks, and we aren’t wilting flowers. Much the way Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and Bill Maher have become sources for actual news for a generation tired of the networks, geek media is poised to do the same for not only entertainment, but hard news: especially for young women. Being a geeky woman is itself, still a point of controversy. As DC’s Catwoman #0 cover and.the sexual violence-as-character development in the new Tomb Raider prove, we are often overlooked, dismissed or abused as an audience. And that’s not even counting the vitriol in comments. In the 21st century. Forget the flying cars, where is gender parity and equality? Reality, much as we’d like to ignore it, means that if you’re a geek with a vagina, we are a long way off from it being a non-issue. The fundamental right to bodily autonomy, self-determination, and sexual agency is one that politicians still feel they can ignore, as long as the people they are trying to strip those rights from, have vaginas. We have forced internal ultrasounds in Texas, rape jokes abound, and anyone who thinks being a geek site makes those things irrelevant probably also thinks that the gendering of toys is okay, too.
I applaud themarysue.com for not taking the easy path, but genuinely addressing issues that affect (geeky) women. Now, if they start dealing with other intersections like PoC as geeks: I will die of squee. This is what my news needs are, and having them met, is a joy.
