rosalarian:
The reblogs on the chubby ballerina picture have got me sad. Lots of talk of how she’s a REAL woman and she’s better than any skinny ballerina. Body positivity, you’re doin’ it wrong.
The point isn’t that she’s better, it’s that her body isn’t a factor in how good she is or how “real” she is. We have a still photograph, so we don’t even know how good she is. All we can say is that...

The End of a Legacy
moohead:
And so ends the legacy of Comp-U-Comp the magnificent. You will be sorely missed even as you are replaced by your far superior brother, Bill.
So yah, my five year old laptop kicked it and I am lucky enough to have parents willing to spot me the money for a new one. Obviously I have not yet gotten around to installing any of my art software or tablet, hence the crappy quality of...

beatonna:
Be Excellent To Each Other
And so with those immortal Bill and Ted words:
Today I was sad to see comics posted without credit somewhere for the millionth time, and aired my frustration on twitter. It gets me down sometimes, even though we all know what the internet is like! Credit the artists whose comics you post! They will love you all the days of your life, for a simple gesture....

inothernews:
Sounds like precedent to me. Good thing AT&T only has 17 million other customers who could be subject to throttling. Let’s see: 17 million times $850 = oh, shit!
Glad I’m not an AT&T customer.

Oh, you've got to be kidding me
dcwomenkickingass:
I’m a big fan of Mikel Janin and was happy when he got covers of Justice League Dark
Zatanna looks pretty hot there, huh?
I just downloaded my copy of the comic. Here’s the cover. Find the arrow.
Yes, they gave her cleavage. They took that lovely corset and made it into a plunging neckline.
That is less sexy! And not simply because that was a pretty corset, but...
The Dangers of Gamer Entitlement →
An article worth a read.
Mind you, this is hardly gamer-specific. I see this in Transformers fandom a lot. I’m sure just about anyone else in any fandom can cite instances in theirs as well.
“While an increasing number of publishers and developers seek to establish an ongoing relationship with players through fan sites, communities, forums, and social networks, the creation of this...
