A Thursday Interruption: Lesbians React

Maria — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 08:19:51 +0000

This first link may not be safe for work. For those of you who dare: BEHOLD! LESBIANS REACT TO LESBIAN PORN! Total honesty: I thought this next vid was going to be a “Single Ladies” parody. This critique of the corporatization of LGBTQQA movements and marketing towards homonormative citizens is less musical, but more politically on point.

After Earth

Maria — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 08:59:08 +0000

After Earth stands out brilliantly in a crowd of ho-hum summer blockbusters. Its nuanced portrayal of military family dynamics as well as its complicating of the homefront through its centering of the whole military family deftly raises the emotional stakes of the film’s action sequences. Plus, Kitai’s mom and sister are better developed and more emotionally nuanced characters than this present version of Uhura and Dr. [...]

A Thursday Interruption: Conversations with Kids

Seriously… this is so funny I am CRYING. Here’s another cute kid… this time from a commercial. Interestingly, people are so, uh, RACIST, that Cheerios closed comments on this series of commercials, since it features an interracial couple/family. Hooray for Cheerios! I’m normally a Snap/Crackle/POP! girl, but I’m now publicly declaring my new found allegiance to Cheerios — the heart-healthy cereal beloved by modern families [...]

Superior Ability, Inferior Ambition

Gena — Tue, 04 Jun 2013 16:30:56 +0000

Hey, Hathor readers! It’s your friendly neighborhood guest blogger, Gena– rumors of my writing retirement have been greatly exaggerated. Before I jump into the nitty-gritty of this article, I’d like to give a big, big thank you to the awesome members of the Star Trek fandoms, and people from outside, as well, who’ve produced amazing, thought-provoking pieces on Star Trek Into Darkness’s whitewashing and continued hypersimplistic gender [...]

Angelina Jolie sharing her mastectomy publicly

Jennifer Kesler — Wed, 15 May 2013 21:58:19 +0000

Angelina Jolie, upon learning she had a rare genetic marker that indicates especially high risk for breast and ovarian cancer (the latter of which took her mother’s life at age 56), decided to have a preventative double mastectomy to reduce her risk of breast cancer from 89% to less than 5%. Then she decided to let the world know, and the criticism began. While it’s [...]

Avon: Lipstick Equals Instant Self Esteem?

sbg — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 00:51:01 +0000

Okay, while I do think that makeup can make a person feel better about oneself – and I’m not denigrating the use of it at all – there is something about this commercial that just sets me on edge. Is it the idea that the implication is that the only reason this woman feel pretty is this particular red lipstick? Is it that the woman [...]

This is a beautifully awesome video of No Rest For the Wicked. More information on Stop the Traffik. I must conquer the school… WITH FLAME. I’m not sure these are great date night ideas.

Rogue: S1 E2 — “Cathy’s Song”

Maria — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 19:44:24 +0000

Cathy continues to Lady Macbeth it up, goading Alec to kill his cat’s paws who firebombed the Chinese restaurant. They might’ve accidentally incited a gang war with the Lee Brothers, who are the biggest and strongest of the Chinese gangs. Meanwhile, Jackie continues pushing Bald Cop to get his life, and crashes the apartment he’s keeping one of his informants in. This is the same [...]

Sometimes bad people do good things

Jennifer Kesler — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 16:45:00 +0000

Margaret Thatcher has died, and the world is suddenly just a little bit lighter, sweeter and more beautiful. Thatcher once said, “There is no such thing as society”, and people claiming that in context this wasn’t intended as Ayn Rand philosophy just don’t understand Ayn Rand philosophy. Perhaps the best way to remember Thatcher is through an extra on the Live Aid DVDs released a [...]
