    This is Susan Robinson, one of the last people in the country who can preform late term abortions after the murder of Dr. George Tiller. This is from an awesome documentary called After Tiller, about the last 4 late-term abortion practitioners in the country. It’s a great watch and available on Netflix, would strongly recommend.

    Everyone IN NY should read this

    Everyone who wants to come to NY should read this

    Everyone should read this if you’re thinking about NY in any way, shape or form.

    For jeniphyer

    Get good at walking, people!

    Wouldn’t this be fairly accurate for *any* big city? I know it’d apply to Vancouver, Seattle and Chicago at the very least!

    I haven’t spent any time in Chicago, but Seattle and Vancouver don’t even BEGIN to compare to the crowd congestion in NYC. And neither do the ubiquitous garbage-on-the-street-thing, or have ultra baffling transit systems. Granted, that’s ‘cause they have much more minimal transit systems, but finding your way on the Skytrain is way easier than the subway.

    (I also tended to compare the subway to the Paris metro, and the NYC version will lose every time. Not only less pleasant, but honestly crappy information design/wayfinding, most of the time. Not impressed).

    Ages ago I was reading a fascinating article about why it’s so bad compared to other subway systems – I think this is it: http://www.aiga.org/the-mostly-true-story-of-helvetica-and-the-new-york-city-subway/ . Essentially it boils down to a catalogue of poorly & cheaply implemented fixes to a very broken system.

    Which I get to see mirrored where I work, although they’re currently in the process of renaming every building and ward and replacing all of the signage with something unified, which might help (‘cos they’ve built another new building in between all of the other buildings, and already no-one knew which building they were in, or where they were going, or how to get there, so they seem to have decided to try and make it more navigable).

    How about no? Queer characters are humans. Humans die. That’s like me saying “Don’t kill black or Hispanic characters because I’m black and Hispanic or because they’re black and hispanic”. Characters die. It sucks.

    Yes, it does suck. Because representation of minority groups matters. When queer characters are consistently used to prop up straight leads and killed off to give their straight counter-parts angsty storylines, it is a problem.

    And yes, it is actually very much like saying “don’t kill black or Latin@ characters.” Because those groups also suffer from issues of representation.

    It’s not that queer characters should never ever die. It’s that we haven’t yet reached a point where that one queer character’s death (and it’s not just one) is incidental because there are so many other queer characters on the screen.

    Shows like Orange is the New Black, Sleepy Hollow, How to Get Away with Murder, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine all have multiple POC in lead roles. But there is much further to go.

    Stephanie Beatriz (who plays Rosa Diaz on Brooklyn Nine-Nine) wrote about how she was shocked to even get the role because a Latina actress (Melissa Fumero who plays Amy Santiago) had already been cast. How messed up is that?

    LGBTQ+ representation is arguably even worse. In fact, the only show I can think of that is currently on air that has more than one main queer character is Orange is the New Black. (Correct me if I’m wrong. Please.) And bisexual characters are even rarer than gay & lesbian characters. Not to mention the bisexual erasure that happens, when a character who has previously had feelings-for-or-relationships-with people of one gender, begins to have feelings-for-or-a-relationship-with someone of another gender, and is declared to have “become” gay without even acknowledging the possibility that their sexuality is more fluid than that. (Willow “gay now” Rosenberg from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Ramona “it was just a phase” Flowers from Scott Pilgrim both spring to mind.)

    GLAAD in their Hollywood survey pointed out “that studios seemed ‘reluctant’ to include LGBT characters in comic book adaptations and action franchises” in particular. Hmm.

    On Agents of SHIELD, we had two in-charge, incredible, fierce lesbian agents who were both killed off for shock value & possibly Hunter’s angst, who weren’t even given the screen time to establish their sexualities or relationship.

    On Arrow, we had a kick-ass, powerful, inspiring, bisexual hero who was literally thrown away in the garbage to further Oliver’s angst and to fuel Laurel’s evolution into Black Canary.

    I say again, STOP KILLING QUEER CHARACTERS.

    ALLLLLLL OF THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^

    Also let’s not forget that Black Canary explicitly was not labeled bisexual because the writers and producers “really wanted to approach it like not be salacious, and be sensitive, and be realistic.”

    “‘studios seemed ‘reluctant’ to include LGBT characters in comic book adaptations and action franchises’ in particular.”

    LGBTQ+ representation is arguably even worse. In fact, the only show I can think of that is currently on air that has more than one main queer character is Orange is the New Black. (Correct me if I’m wrong. Please.) And bisexual characters are even rarer than gay & lesbian characters. Not to mention the bisexual erasure that happens, when a character who has previously had feelings-for-or-relationships-with people of one gender, begins to have feelings-for-or-a-relationship-with someone of another gender, and is declared to have “become” gay without even acknowledging the possibility that their sexuality is more fluid than that. (Willow “gay now” Rosenberg from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Ramona “it was just a phase” Flowers from Scott Pilgrim both spring to mind.)

    GLAAD in their Hollywood survey pointed out “that studios seemed ‘reluctant’ to include LGBT characters in comic book adaptations and action franchises” in particular. Hmm.

    On Agents of SHIELD, we had two in-charge, incredible, fierce lesbian agents who were both killed off for shock value & possibly Hunter’s angst, who weren’t even given the screen time to establish their sexualities or relationship.

    On Arrow, we had a kick-ass, powerful, inspiring, bisexual hero who was literally thrown away in the garbage to further Oliver’s angst and to fuel Laurel’s evolution into Black Canary.

    I say again, STOP KILLING QUEER CHARACTERS.

    ALLLLLLL OF THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^

    Also let’s not forget that Black Canary explicitly was not labeled bisexual because the writers and producers “really wanted to approach it like not be salacious, and be sensitive, and be realistic.”

    “‘studios seemed ‘reluctant’ to include LGBT characters in comic book adaptations and action franchises’ in particular.”

    How about no? Queer characters are humans. Humans die. That’s like me saying “Don’t kill black or Hispanic characters because I’m black and Hispanic or because they’re black and hispanic”. Characters die. It sucks.

    Yes, it does suck. Because representation of minority groups matters. When queer characters are consistently used to prop up straight leads and killed off to give their straight counter-parts angsty storylines, it is a problem.

    And yes, it is actually very much like saying “don’t kill black or Latin@ characters.” Because those groups also suffer from issues of representation.

    It’s not that queer characters should never ever die. It’s that we haven’t yet reached a point where that one queer character’s death (and it’s not just one) is incidental because there are so many other queer characters on the screen.

    This video utterly made my day – new Ben Folds Five AND new Fraggle Rock! :D

    How exactly I missed this I don’t know. But I did. Until now :)

  • Nick Clegg plans to put treatment for mental health conditions on a level with physical health from 2015. In order to be clear, is that putting it on a par with the GP funding that has been cut by nearly £1bn, leading many surgeries to face financial collapse? Or is it putting it on a par with the A&E departments in crisis due to the number of hospital beds axed and where 5,000 A&E patients waited over four hours? Or perhaps on a par with cancer care, which saw a decrease in funding between 2009 and 2013 despite rising rates of diagnosis?

    Mr Clegg might find it easier to seize the agenda on mental health had the austerity policies of his coalition government not ripped through the heart of mental health services. More than eight in 10 GPs now believe that their local mental health teams cannot cope with mental health caseloads, and nearly half said that the situation in their area had got even worse in the past 12 months. Research has shown the links between austerity economics – with its added financial strain, income inequality, debt, absence of essential services, and its regressive taxes like the bedroom tax – and the damaging impacts of such policies on people’s mental health.

  • The Awesome Power

    So I’ve given in. I don’t think I mentioned on here, but we finally bought a modern car (lookie, a post at Transport Evolved, where I’m a staff writer now!). I’m planning to cut my hours at my main job to do a bit more agency work; with the theory being that we might be able to save a more significant sum of money up. I suspected that the Austin would probably not tolerate this very well, and moreover given that there’s less than 500 of them left, in total, it seemed a shame to throw that many miles onto it.

    Not only that, but we saw this (which when the link dies is a small live/work shop in Port Townsend that we can actually afford to buy outright). It’s fracking tempting, and I have this sort of sensation that we really should just go for it, but also, we don’t want to end up in the US broke and with no health insurance. That way lies insanity.

    On the other hand, if we owned somewhere outright our outgoings’d drop pretty dramatically.

    But our house isn’t finished and so isn’t terribly sellable, so that kind of puts a crimp in that concept anyway.

    Anyhow, as part of the process of selling the Austin off (which if anyone’s interested, I’m looking for around £1700) I’ve scrounged Nikki’s DA polisher, some paint restorer and some of her much-higher-quality-than-I-use-car polish. So I wandered outside this afternoon having completed my other exciting tasks for the day (go and get a polishing sleeve for the polisher; clean the steering wheel and switchgear and some other bits and bobs of the new car because they were hideously filthy it having been owned by a builder; spent several (quite a lot of) minutes trying (and failing) to persuade the Prius and the iPhone to talk / transfer contacts; organising Kathryn’s anniversary present…) and I gathered together the stuff to wash and polish the car.

    I washed it and grabbed the cutting compound… it said ‘wash and dry the car’ so I waited whilst it dried, applied the cutting compound and followed the instructions which ended with allow to dry. Literally as I finished applying the last bit to the roof it started to rain.

    I waited it out for a while, washing the Prius somewhat (which needs some cutting back in a few places too, being as a few places have paint transferred from other objects that the previous owner’s run into on them) before finally wiping off the worst of the cutting compound from the austin with the rain and heading inside. I really need to get it sold though because (a) I could do with some of the money back from the insurance and (b) It’s just sat cluttering up the street and (c) I could use the money back from the Austin to pay for some of the stuff that I had done to it to get it decently roadworthy. So I may have to have a look at it this weekend. Once it’s cleaned I need to tidy up the joint in the exhaust that I threw together when I was putting it on in a hurry (which is leaking), clean the inside and photograph the car. Then it should be good to go.

    I’m hoping this will feel like progress because at the moment I’m feeling terribly frustrated. We’re hoping to try for baby-stuff again this month, which should also feel like progress; but having been on holiday the house feels very stalled; and we’ve neither of us made great progress on the planning of the grand adventure nor of the possibility of just dropping that and going to start our bookshop.

    Feh, basically.

    The Moment from The Age of Ultron Trailer that Crystallizes Why Marvel Studios Has A Woman Problem

    Following its leak online yesterday, Marvel Studios officially released its trailer for the Avenger’s sequel, “Age of Ultron”. You can watch the entire trailer here.

    And in that trailer there is this moment above which is without question one of the best action moments. 

    It is Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow dropping out of a plane while riding a motorcycle.

    Can anyone argue this is not awesome?

    Every male lead character save Hawkeye and Nick Fury has had a standalone movie. Ironman, Thor, Cap and the Hulk. Antman will soon have his own film. There is also rumors swirling about a Dr. Strange movie.

    But Black Widow, the character that is about to appear in her fourth Marvel movie, does not have a film announced. 

    With Lucy this past year, Johansson showed she can take mediocre material and turn it into a worldwide hit grossing over $415M globally. That’s for an unlicensed character in a film with bad to middling reviews. By comparison the first Captain American film with Chris Evans had a worldwidel box office of $370M globally. 

    When asked why there is no Black Widow film, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has that he “hopes” to have a movie “sooner than later”.

    But he’s also said it won’t happen anytime soon.

    Marvel Studios Executive Vice President Vicki Alonson was recently asked about the lack of female led films by Marvel she said “if it were up to me, it would be today”

    A few weeks ago, DC Comics announced that they would make a Wonder Woman film in 2017 with Gal Gadot.

    But Marvel Studios? No female led films.

    Why with the success of Lucy, Black Widow given plenty of life out of the four other films she’s appeared in would Marvel Studios not greenlight this film?

    I’m not sure I entirely can put the blame on Feige. He ultimately answers to Ike Perlmutter but you have to wonder too why he is choosing to leave the potential gross of a Black Widow movie on the table.

    It’s not the visibility of the character.

    It’s not like they don’t have an actor proven at the box office.

    It’s not like there aren’t any good stories to tell.

    There’s only one major difference between Black Widow and the other characters Marvel Studios is giving their own movies to – she’s a woman.

    And that’s a problem.

  • Felicia Day’s public details put online after she described Gamergate fears

    Felicia Day’s public details put online after she described Gamergate fears

    animatedamerican:

    bigangry:

    The actor hadn’t talked about gamergate due to fears of being ‘doxxed’ – and indeed she was, shortly after she spoke out. By Alex Hern

    Felicia Day, a bona-fide geek goddess, talks about fears about speaking out against gamergate because she doesn’t want to be targeted by it, and how silence counts as a victory for the angry mob, and how fear isn’t going to stop her from doing what she loves.

    50 minutes later, her personal information and address (she gets “doxxed”) were found and posted in the comments for all to see on her own damn blog by pro-gamergaters.

    Two days ago, Chris Kluwe, former kicker for the Minnesota Vikings, and OLD-school gamer, wrote his second brilliant, profanity-laden tirade against Gamergate, and he hasn’t been doxxed yet. Magical penis powers apparently keep the gamergaters from going after him, but Felicia and Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian and Briana Wu are doxxed almost immediately.

    Gamergate is not about journalistic integrity, I don’t care what ANYONE says. It is about silencing women, harassing women (and those that support them), and with the threats made to Utah State University because of Anita’s speaking engagement, ACTUAL TERRORISM.

    The “Gamergate” movement is irreparably tainted with the evil and sliminess of the origins and the continuing harassment and threats. If you truly want ethics in gaming journalism, abandon gamergate, CONDEMN all of gamergate, and move on. Gamergate is synonymous with misogyny and assholishness. Leave it in the dust.

    Heard about Felicia Day getting doxxed last night, still swearing about it.

    What revolting pathetic people.
