Q:Hi, I have been following your blog for a while now and you are just cool and awesome and lovely and you blog is fantastic. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you the best of luck in the new year.
Thank you! Best wishes for the new year <3
In a fit of insanity (and pique because I missed the deadline to sign up as a writer) I signed up as an artist for the Check Please Big Bang. And then promptly panicked, because I can make manips, but I’ve never drawn any of the CP characters and the only thing I’ve ever really drawn was the Avengers Care Bears (which I’d still like to get back to someday)
So anyway, I decided to practice by drawing Holster from the last chapter of a baker’s dozen more by the amazing and talented @feministlibrarian. I highly recommend it for lovely domestic fluff.
Someone made me fanart! I am so delighted <3
Did I ever mention my headcannon that Carlos’ team of scientists is just a bunch of cats? Because I feel like this is suddenly very important.

I try to wrap my head around the fact that Hillary Clinton is on one hand the most qualified human being to ever run for president of the United States, and, on the other, one of the most disliked presidential candidates of all time. In fact, Donald Trump is the only candidate who is more disliked than Clinton. And he’s not only overtly racist, sexist, and Islamophobic, but also unfit and unprepared for office. How can these two fundamentally dissimilar politicians possibly be considered bedfellows when it comes to popular opinion?
Antifeminists didn’t just oppose the ERA, government-sponsored childcare, and family leave because they wanted women to stay home and raise kids. They were also worried about letting men evade their responsibility to provide for their families, giving government too much power over businesses’ operations, and turning childrearing over to socialistic institutions. Ultimately, the deeper argument of antifeminism was that capitalist individualism depended on a family structure in which women, rather than the government, took responsibility for human needs that couldn’t be satisfied in the market economy.
The press is not a pro-democracy trade, it is a pro-media trade. By and large, it doesn’t act as a guardian of civic norms and liberal institutions—except when press freedoms and access itself are at stake. Much like an advocacy group or lobbying firm will reserve value judgments for issues that directly touch upon the things they’re staked in, reporters and media organizations are far more concerned with things like transparency, the treatment of reporters, and first-in-line access to information of public interest, than they are with other forms of democratic accountability.
Of course most of those pundits are white people with at least a Bachelor’s degree, and there’s quite a bit of condescension built into these narratives. It’s implied that these under-educated white folks are dumb enough to believe a toxic showman who outsources the production of all his tacky merch to China and Bangladesh – and personally recruited undocumented workers to build his high-rises on the cheap – is going to protect American workers against global competition. It’s wrong to assume that people who didn’t get a college degree are stupid.
