Happy Cabinet Man Gets Beaten Up Day

Where is the video with the dude running as if he’s about to do the sickest skateboard trick, but then he just keeps running

Hello, friends!

I reworked the ol' "Schweizer Guide to Spotting Tangents" lecture from my comics-teaching days, figured I'd share it here. If you want a free, printable PDF for yourself or to share (especially if you're an educator), you can find it at the bottom of this same lesson on my website.

Some happy things from the first day of marriage equality in Thailand 💗❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

some openly queer actresses and a director celebrating this historical day:

of course light yagami is the sum of the masks he wears and we all are etc etc but i love that to catch a glimpse to what lies behind them you have to read the manga with, like... a metaphorical pheripeal vision. you can't trust the way he behaves in front of other people. you can't trust what he says as kira. you can't trust what he says in the thought bubbles. yotsuba!light is somewhat genuine, but as that point he is in such a situation of costant pressure and so traumatized that i don't know how much of what he does or thinks helps us to understand how he felt when he decided to become kira. as a reader you just have to hope that at some point something doesn't add up. he catching himself after having complimented misa's drawing skills. he clutching the death note to his chest and sweating when thinking about how becoming kira could lead to him having to kill his own family and chapters later saying that he has never considered finding the death note a misfortune. he having to criticize kira in front of other people - saying to L that kira is a child; to matsuda that his justice will be superior only if he wins. is he lying, is the mask slipping; do we have to trust what he says to others, what he says to himself, what he thinks or how he behaves? and is such a pleasure to read a protagonist that only in the few scenes in which he contradicts himself gives you the margin to try to understand his inner world better

I still think that a key function of the way we think of the concepts "adult" and "child" is to separate the human population into "people who deserve autonomy but no protection" and "people who deserve protection but no autonomy" and in the process dehumanize both groups of people. We ignore the fact that all people need both autonomy and protection, and that our society could easily be set up to provide everyone a healthy mix of both.
