So I'm slowly progressing on the Marvel femslash pairing primer. It's very depressing when usually one or both of them are currently dead and a messy break-up with no reason at all is a better ending. I am also waiting for scan daily to accept my membership request to ask about Jean/Emma, Destiny/Mystique scan because I can't/don't want to slough through all the 80's X-Men comics.

There's reported disability fail, Holocaust fail, LGBTQ fail on the X-Men first class kink meme. The cynical part in me is not surprised but I'm still sad about it. Also from hearsay that the mod may not be acting against it. This meta is sadly very relevant.

thingswithwings has made an awesomely critical vid on MANPAIN. (And if you're going "... er, a vid on what?", she also has an explanation/commentary post which is well worth reading! There is also the indispensable Manpain Flowchart. Not to mention Fanlore: Manpain. in the comment. Another post on Manpain.

More serious meta: marina: I want to talk about the white dude from the US who made a film about the lives of Palestinians in Israel where everyone speaks English. Where most of the principal actors can't even speak Arabic. Where language, as a political, ethnic and social marker simply doesn't exist. Erased, along with other things, as if what language is spoken, for example, in an Israeli courtroom, is of no importance.
