The Science of Racism: Radiolab's Treatment of... →
I need to be clear that I haven’t heard the RadioLab segment in question, but to me, it’s not really about that. If I give this woman the same benefit of the doubt that I want to give the RL team, namely that she’s telling the truth of her experience, I don’t need to have heard the piece to believe that there are important cautionary tales here for any journalist, ones that can be expanded to...

School of Seven Virtues finale writeup
This weekend was the end of an almost 3-year long LARP campaign in which I had the pleasure of taking part. There’s really nothing like spending that much time collaboratively making up and acting out an epic story with hundreds of other people. Suffice it to say it was lots of fun and extremely satisfying, dorky stigma be damned. Anyway, I wrote some about the experience, and the...

stephaniefoo asked: I won that new voices in public media scholarship two years ago and went and wrote a thing about it in response. You can find it if you google my name and airblast. It was an AMAZING experience, and so valuable to my career! Thanks for publicizing it!!

Scholarship contest for under-represented new...
I just got this on one of my local audio-related mailing lists. The folks at airmedia are having a scholarship contest to bring “minority producers” to the Third Coast conference (their FAQ defines “minority” as any group typically under-represented at the conference and/or the industry in general). I’ve never been to Third Coast myself, but from what I hear...
Arbitrary Quote Tuesday: On Activism
echoboots:
OK, here I go, taking my first steps towards Saying Things on the Tumblr! This first one is a Nellie McClung quote about activism:
“Never explain, never retract, never apologize. Just get the thing done and let them howl.”
I like this quote, even though I wildly disagree with it, because the ideas it represents about activism seem to me like they have been broadly...
"fat" superheroines contest
So at comic con someone submitted the following drawing for critiquing by industry types: Ok, it’s not the best drawing ever, but that’s not really even relevant to the feedback she got.
Apparently this character is so fat no one would want to see her as a superhero.
No, really, that’s what they said.
Industry people, Gertie would like to have a word with you:
Don’t...

2010: Our Hideous Future, The Musical!
(Hey Tumblrfriends, I’m pretty new here and don’t have a lot of followers, so me cross-posting this to Tumblr isn’t going to do much by its self, but it occurs to me that some of y’all know lots of people from outside of my normal social circles, so if you think think enough of them people might be interested in this show, particularly if they’re in New England, I...
In which I continue to not get Tumblr...
Someone sent me an ask. I responded (privately). All evidence of the ask and my response now seems to be gone. Is that supposed to happen?
Tumblr, why you gotta be this way?
This conversation gets long, so cutting for courtesy, but others might find it interesting. Has to do with when/how/if it’s appropriate to call out specific religions and religious behaviors.

This is true, John - but the fact of the matter is, people who are marginalized on more than one front, particularly women of color or LGBT people of color, have received harassment on an equal level to Laci, but Tumblr has rarely felt the need to have a huge discussion about it.
What happened to Laci SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED, I want to be perfectly clear about that. But...

Ok, two questions...
…about this here new-fangled Tumblr thingy:
Is there really no theme that uses, you know, the whole width of my screen? Even the “single column” themes seem to mean “three columns, with the left and right ones blank for no good reason”. I keep seeing discussion threads that are smooshed until they’re a single character wide despite the fact that there’s...
