leeleeleelee submitted: “This is the reality of Texas’ ultrasound for abortion bill. A 30 year old Texas woman’s fetus’ heart stopped beating after 12 weeks. The options given were to wait until miscarriage, give birth to it, or to abort it (the preferred, safest option). She has to look at an ultrasound of her already dead fetus and if she looks away, she will have to...

Simon Spurrier on Panel Parity →
neil-gaiman:
Over 20 years ago, in an issue of Sandman, I wrote a story set at a Serial Killers’ convention. And the only women who got to speak at the convention were on a panel on “Women In Serial Killing”. I thought it was a funny and ironic commentary on something that, I was fairly certain, would change very soon. Certainly in the next 20 years. And in SF and Fantasy, it has. In comics, not...

http://www.minnesotaformarriage.com/landing/poll/
It insinuates that gay couples = messed up children and that men won’t take care of their children unless they are suckered into it by marriage.
PLEASE reblog and share!
You can’t tell how people are doing on the poll page, but still.

Good Tumblrs For Female Content In Comics?
gailsimone:
Figures I should post some posts about tumblrs that actually do present cool, funny, interesting, meaningful and positive portrayals of females in comics.
This isn’t a long list, I’m missing a bunch I’m sure, hopefully people can make some recommendations? Anyway, these are a few I have been looking at a lot, lately, and enjoying very much. I bet you will, too, regardless of...

Z-Spaces: An Animorphs Psychochronography
On Animorphs #5: The Predator
The Animorphs are completely incapable against them, they only survive this book thanks to bickering inner politics, their morphs only helpful in hiding their identities. In this book, our heroes, the people whom the readers imagine themselves as being, are in constant retreat. No battle, no taking a stand, nothing to make you feel better about yourself in the...

Hilde “Lord Fanny” Morales of The Invisibles has the distinction of being the most recognized trans woman character in comics who was not fridged, murdered, or used magic or other fantastical means to change her sex. She has magical powers to be sure, but lives the same as any other non op…

METAZENE: Canabalt iPhone Game Review →
metazn:
Canabalt is an addictive, minimal, and overall just well designed game. You are Jumpman, as I’ve come to call him, for what his entire verb vocabulary includes: Jump. Well, that and running. In Canabalt, you are trying to survive and escape from a mid-apocalyptic world, with buildings…

From Mongolia, with Love (and PRIDE)
stopracismandhomophobiaongrindr:
For those of you who don’t know I work in the Australian Court System. Today, I stumbled upon an interesting application before the Refugee Review Tribunal of Australia, from 2007.
The case involved a lesbian applicant from Mongolia who was seeking protection from the Australian Government on the basis of her sexuality. No doubt she would have heard about the...

The Chinese are so ~inspiring~. Wait, I'm already...
I wonder why it took watching Firefly - a show with a mostly white main cast, and somewhat-criticized use of Chinese and other cultures - to get me interested in Chinese language, food, and the like again. I grew up without Mandarin-speaking peers, so I had a clean vocabulary (still is, the bits that are left today) - most Browncoats cuss better’n me.
(I would also love to start a second...

prolongedeyecontact:
Just when abortion rights supporters thought they had beaten a controversial bill they believe would legalize the killing of abortion providers, it has cropped up again—this time in a more expansive form that has drawn the concern of law enforcement officials.
Last week, South Dakota’s legislature shelved a bill, introduced by...
