I'm having a discussion with another white feminist about appropriation of black feminist anti-racism by white feminists. I suck at explaining why cultural appropriation is bad so have various general essays to link to (eg Cultural Appropriation 101 ), but I remember reading an essay from the original Cultural Appropriation Imbroglio which deals with exactly the kind of thing we're talking about and...

Hey all, I and shewhohashope would like to thank all of you for the best Eid yet - we had icons and fic and meta in both comms, and in general a greater awareness of Eid in fandom. Which makes us very happy, and gives us hope that the comms will continue to be fruitful and multiply. I'll be making a master list of everything posted in both comms soon, so that you can catch anything you might...

I've recently become obsessed with getting EVERY Sweet Valley book recapped. We've done Sweet Valley High (although we are, of course, open to new recaps!) and we are almost done with Sweet Valley Twins (there are about five left and I know some of them are being worked on?), so now we must turn our attention to the other serieses. There are a ton of Sweet Valley Kids still left to be recapped...

Title: Truth, Justice, and the Federation Way Author: gladdecease Rating: T for language Notes: Partly inspired by shewhohashope 's Superhero AU prompt, but also for cliche_bingo , "Mutation/Physical Transformation". ( How eight people find themselves involved in the Federation Superhuman Program. Or: Jim Kirk's search for his Justice League. )

I have so many horses in this race, so I've decided that I'll just picspam for all of them and let the best show win! JOTEI ( Spoilers for the third episode. Not that you can spoil Jotei , as such. ) BLACK & WHITE I haven't seen enough of this to have more to show you, but it's really good! COFFEE PRINCE ( Piggybacking! )

Alright, sorry for the delay guys! Real life, pfft. Now because we already have less than 15 'classic' dramas, we first need to narrow down the field of 'smaller' dramas. After this round, we'll do the final voting for both! In this poll, you can vote for as many shows as you desire . The fifteen shows that get the most votes move on to the next round. This poll will be open for two days, so it closes...

By way of shewhohashope : 1) Post ten of any pictures currently on your hard drive that you think are self-expressive. 2) NO CAPTIONS!!! It must be like we're speaking with images and we have to interpret your visual language just like we have to interpret your words. 3) They must ALREADY be on your hard drive - no googling or flickr! They have to have been saved to your folders sometime in...
