Update: 11 year old trans girl lost appeal →

gailsimone: allyintraining: transawareness: The above article is an update. Her mother went to appeal to keep her out of the psychiatric ward and lost. She will be institutionalized because of her expression of her gender. She will be held until she conforms to male gender and then released to foster care, not her mother who was supporting her. Please, if you haven’t signed the petition,...

Earth's Whitey-est Heroes →

stopwhitewashing: Not that the film is a complete whitewash/sausage-fest: Colbie Smulders’ Agent Hill gets a fairly visible role, though she never exits the S.H.I.E.L.D. Hellicarrier and isn’t technically an Avenger herself. Likewise, Gwyneth Paltrow continues to play a key support role to Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man, but otherwise she’s strictly a civilian. And one would be remiss not to...

The poorly logic of tales. John Finnemore and the...

REPORTER: Little pig, little pig, can I come in?
FIRST PIG: Who’s that?
REPORTER: Colin Millar, Sunday Times
FIRST PIG: Not a wolf?
REPORTER: No
FIRST PIG: Promise?
REPORTER: Yes
FIRST PIG: Sure, come on in.
REPORTER: So, why did you choose to build your house out of straw?
FIRST PIG: Well, I’ve never built a house before, certainly not one designed to withstand wolf attack, but I have read a lot of stories. And in stories it’s always the youngest brother with the humblest approach that wins the day
REPORTER: And that’s why you didn’t go for twigs, or bricks?
FIRST PIG: That’s right. Anyone who’s read a story knows those stronger houses will be destroyed, and only my humble straw house will defeat the wolf in an unexpected way
REPORTER: Like what?
FIRST PIG: I dunno. Hayfever?
REPORTER: I see, well - good luck
REPORTER: Little pig, little pig, may I come in?
SECOND PIG: Of course, welcome
REPORTER: So why did you choose to build your house out of twigs?
SECOND PIG: Well, I’ve never built a house before, but I have read a lot of stories, and in stories it’s always the compromise between the two extremes that wins the day
REPORTER: So that’s why you didn’t go for straw or bricks?
SECOND PIG: That’s right. Anyone who’s ever read a story knows the straw will be too weak and the bricks will be too strong
REPORTER: How…will the bricks be too strong?
SECOND PIG: I dunno. Subsidence?
REPORTER: I see. Well, good luck
REPORTER: Little pig, little pig, may I come in?
THIRD PIG: Yeah, but what’s wrong with the doorbell?
REPORTER: Oh. (rings doorbell) Nothing.
THIRD PIG: Right, in you come then
REPORTER: So, why did you choose to build your house of bricks?
THIRD PIG: ….because it’s a house?
REPORTER: Right, and that’s why you didn’t go for straw or twigs?
THIRD PIG: Well, that didn’t even really cross my mind.
REPORTER: Right, well, I’ve spoken to your brothers, and they both say that in stories-
THIRD PIG: Yeah, well I’ve never read a story, but I have seen a lot of houses. And they’re usually built of bricks, so…I’ve built this house out of bricks
REPORTER: Aren’t you afraid the apparent stability of the bricks makes them all the more at risk from a narrative twist?
THIRD PIG: …No. Are you afraid of that with your house?
REPORTER: No
THIRD PIG: Well then
REPORTER: So you’re sure the wolf won’t be able to blow your house down?
THIRD PIG: …blow it down? What, with his breath?
REPORTER: No, I just-
THIRD PIG: Look, basically what I’ve done is…build a house. Robert has built a kind of ethnic hut, which is nice. I don’t even know what Ethan thinks he’s built, an art installation? I mean, never mind a wolf, he’s in trouble if it rains. This is a house. Well, it’s getting late, the wolf will be here soon. Are you off?
REPORTER: Uh…
THIRD PIG: I thought you might want to stay with one of the other guys. With their “narrative protection”
REPORTER: Actually, if it’s alright I might stay here
THIRD PIG: Well, blow me down.
