I think it’s wicked hella dick to out someone, and it’s NEVER going to be a Good Thing to do, or even an Okay Thing, considering how much very real personal and professional and emotional risk it puts the outed person into in our homophobic society (irrespective of privacy concerns and the nebulous boundaries of whose secrets are whose in an illicit tryst and whose [...]

journal.txt Restored from draft, last saved 06/13/2012 Man, it seems like every time things start to go well, I turn around and I’m hiding from some kind of horrifying monster. And with the wrong flash drive in tow, again!! Anyone else get that feeling? Well, that’s not fair. I mean, last year, something… happened to me. And it haunted me, and it kept me on [...]
I went to see The Avengers yesterday! And, okay, you know how I’m usually Ms. Betty Buzzkill when it comes to SF/F, right? With my Critical Thinking Cap on and everything? And how I don’t like Joss Whedon, because his character-writing is formulaic, and he has significant issues writing women, PoC, and queer characters?

Starting next week, I’m going to be posting my “starter” reviews two episodes at a time until I catch up with the air schedule for this season of Game of Thrones. 2×01 Previously on Game of Thrones: the entirety of season one! It’s a decent montage, actually, though [...]
Guess who’s back? It’s Gena! Guess who went to see “The Hunger Games”? It’s… Gena?! Yeah. I’d been saying and saying and saying I wasn’t going to see this movie. (At first I was thinking I should start a “Movies I’m Not Watching” post like Maria, but the only thing that this has proved is that I’m a low-down, dirty liar.) Not because of Jennifer [...]
