That’s it. That’s the show.

That’s it. That’s the show.

Emergency evacuation at school…Police are here now. I’m hearing whispers of a bomb threat.

Why are things happening to places I go to today

It’s like you are in FF9 or something.

To continue my cartoon marathon, Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends.

Eduardo is so cute.I imagine he would be best friends with Fluttershy in some sort of McKraken/Faust cross-over extravoganza.

I don’t have a problem working on art every single day. I really do enjoy drawing. I have a problem working on the art I should be working on because the deadline is tomorrow.

[W]hen we launch in a territory the Bittorrent traffic drops as the Netflix traffic grows. So I think people do want a great experience and they want access – people are mostly honest. The best way to combat piracy isn’t legislatively or criminally but by giving good options. One of the side effects of growth of content is an expectation to have access to it. You can’t use the internet as a marketing vehicle and then not as a delivery vehicle.

Look, someone who gets it.

thank you. And reasonable prices. Netflix is much more reasonable for me to afford than paying $15 to see a 90 minute movie I will probably hate.

(via fuckyeahfeminists)

The reasonable prices thing is important. Game of Thrones for example, one of the most pirated shows right now. On iTunes, a season pass costs $34, and it’s not even up to date with the latest episode in the US. I think the AU version you can only keep it for a few days? So, if you wanted to watch it with a friend the following week, you can’t do that.

“As soon as teenage girls start to profess love for something, everyone else becomes totally dismissive of it. Teenage girls are open season for the cruelest bullying that our society can dream up. Everyone’s vicious to them. They’re vicious to each other. Hell, they’re even vicious to themselves. It’s terrible.

“So if teenage girls have something that they love, isn’t that a good thing? Isn’t it better for them to find some words they believe in, words like the ‘fire-proof and fearless’ lyrics that Jacqui wrote? Isn’t it better for them to put those words on their arm in a tattoo than for them to cut gashes in that same skin? Shouldn’t we be grateful when teenage girls love our work? Shouldn’t that be a fucking honor?

“It’s used as the cheapest, easiest test of crap, isn’t it? If teenage girls love a movie, a book, a band, then it’s immediately classified as mediocre shit. Well, I’m not going to stand for that. Someone needs to treat them like they’re precious, and if nobody else is ready to step up, I guess it’s up to us to put them on the path to recognizing that about themselves.”

Every now and then, something comes along on your dash that opens your eyes and makes you question assumptions you didn’t even realize you were making.

This former teenage girl fell in love with Rush, RPGs, Russian literature, ancient history, sci fi flicks, and Led Zeppelin. I’d say she had pretty good taste. So why have I always defaulted to marginalizing or dismissing the tastes of other teenage girls? Why have I always counted the large teenage female presence in fandom as a black mark against it, or at least something that needs to be explained or surmounted for older fans to participate or engage? Why have I assumed that teenage girls as a whole are incapable of critical analysis or meaningful engagement with the same media that I enjoy, when it was the critical analysis and meaningful engagement of a teenage girl that got me into much of the same media I enjoy now?

Wow. Talk about not even recognizing the patriarchy at work.

seriously, this just made me feel like a fucking asshole, which is always a sign that i’ve learned something important.

I think I like the commentary above more than even the quote itself. It’s cool when just a quote can make people really rethink their positions.

(via feministdisney)

This reminds me of Twilight criticism. I don’t normally see articles about how terrible the writing is overall, or how bad it is for maturing young women to idolize abusive male characters. I normally see responses to the tune of eww, it’s sparkly and popular with teen girls, therefore it’s bad.

This is still the actual best profile on OKC and probably the only one I would give a second thought.
