General notes on
WisCon panel: Body Acceptance: From All Sides

http://firecat.livejournal.com/765679.html

Title: A Logical Arrangement
Author: igrockspock
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Gaila, Spock
Summary: The first time Gaila meets Spock, she's holding a phaser rifle with a broken safety.
Notes: For circ_bamboo, who asked who would win if Gaila faced off with Spock. I think they would find a mutually beneficial arrangement.

This phaser doesn't have a stun setting

A Momentary Taste of WisCon #4 is now online, with news of Andrea Hairston's and Debbie Notkin's guest of honor speeches, the Tiptree Award ceremony, WisCon 37 guests of honor, shipping services for the trip home, and more.

Title: Parable
Music: "The Day the World Went Away", Ark Sano piano cover of Nine Inch Nails
Fandom: Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents by Octavia Butler. See notes at the vid post for sources used to construct the vid.

The playlist from the WisCon vid party will be posted soon! I premiered this vid––it's for the 1983 film Born in Flames, which I encourage you all to see, but it should be quite watchable as a vid about the feminist revolution if you don't know the source.

Black Steel
Music: Black Steel by Tricky (original song by Public Enemy; vocals by Martina Topley-Bird)
Video: Born in Flames (dir. Lizzie Borden, 1983)
Edited by Lila Futuransky
"The right to violence is like the right to pee. You've got to have the right place and the right time." Revolutionary becoming in a past speculative future: a transformative homage to Lizzie Borden's 1983 film Born in Flames.

Although this post is about 50 Cent's endorsement of gay marriage rights, I think it says something about iterative process that's quite relevant to some of the discussion in yesterday's "Intersectionalism is not the Oppression Olympics" panel:
