One Piece is the topic of this month's Manga Movable Feast. There are a lot of great posts so far, but my favorite is the most recent one from David Brothers. Kate Dacey also has some very insightful things to say about the artwork and Erica Friedman presents the most intelligent defense of Mr. 2's character that I've read yet. Which still hasn't convinced me that Mr. 2 isn't a grotesque, offensive stereotype or that his death wasn't incredibly problematic, but at least I can respect Friedman's take on the character.
The Microagressions tumblr puts a lot of this "privilege" business into perspective.
Ragnell is blogging again!! This post dissects one of the clearest examples of sexism in Hollywood that I've heard of in a long time.
Girl-Wonder.org is holding a membership drive as a precursor to electing a new Board of Directors. As someone who was on the original Board I can say that it was not only tons of fun and a great way to meet and network with new people, but it was also incredibly satisfying to be part of an organization that actually got stuff done. If any of y'all reading this have an interest in comics and Making the World a Better Place and finding ways to combine the two, then I'd urge you to at least enroll as a member of the organization, if not consider volunteering for an official position or even running for the Board. Ragnell has some good advice for those of you thinking about stepping up to the plate.
Niall Harrison is asking readers to submit their lists of the best Science Fiction written by women in the past ten years. Today is the last day to submit your list (oops!) but even those of you who don't submit your picks can enjoy reading the lists that others have compiled.
