Listen, I realize everyone has their own ways to deal with tragedy. I’m definitely not one to say “this is not time to politicize.” Everything is political and everything that happens within our government has an impact on how we live with our every day lives. For example, it is most definitely…

Target and DC/Warner Bros. recentlly announced they had teamed up to offer Justice League licensed merchandise this summer. Now there’s plenty of Justice League merchandise already out there, but what got me excited was that Wonder Woman was going to be featured. If you’ve read this blog over the past 3 years you’ll know its been a bit of an issue of mine to see the Justice...

Gutters on Female Comic Creators

dcwomenkickingass:
I woke up this morning to find many messages from readers telling me to check out the Gutters. Today’s comic, written by the always amazing Jill Pantozzi with art by Amy Mebberson, addresses an issue pretty near to my heart. And, of course, the comments have the usual cast of idiots.
This is genius!!! So many amazing ladies and words on one page.

This is shitty.
14 year old kitty has crazy hyperthyroidism Radioiodine treatment is $1400 dollars. I owe $6k to the IRS, more than twice what I owed last year even though I made only $5k more, and have minimum payments of about $400 bucks a month in student loans, phone bill, debts, etc. Been trying to put $2200 a month into debts to eradicate them.
So basically I do not have money to take on...

I know someone personally who also compared a higher minimum wage to a handout. This is a good sign of our times when a living wage is considered a “handout for doing nothing.” - zenodotus5
And minimum-wage workers are the hardest workers in America. I’ve worked minimum-wage jobs, and I’ve worked part-time jobs that pay barely above minimum wage. I’ve also worked well-paid...

goodmanw:
The issue going forward is how many of the Avengers stars and starlets are still bound by early agreements and longterm options which Marvel can continue to exploit individually. To counter, I’ve learned the Avengers cast are becoming united behind Robert Downey Jr who is seen as the “leader” – like “a big brother” in the words of one rep - for all the younger actors in the ensemble....

Vendor Pulls 'Obama' Target From Booth At NRA... →
stfuconservatives:
The NRA convention spent the weekend classing up the joint. Fun fact: they pulled this, but kept selling the “Your Ex” target, which was a female body that bled when you shot it. Because gun ownership is about freedom and liberty and definitely not about the capability to murder the people who wrong you.

Stop Saying "Boys will Be Boys"
sorayachemaly:
For months, every morning when my daughter was in preschool, I watched her construct an elaborate castle out of blocks, colorful plastic discs, bits of rope, ribbons and feathers, only to have the same little boy gleefully destroy it within seconds of its completion.
No matter how many times he did it, his parents never swooped in BEFORE the morning’s live 3-D reenactment of...
