This weekend I will be attending the always excitable WisCon feminist sci-fi convention, right here in Madison! I won't be at a table because it's hard to imagine too many feminists cooing over a lazy, somewhat racist superhero, but I will be randomly wandering about the halls with some bits n' bobs in case anyone runs into me. Feel free to say hello and not talk about the Twilight series!
Okay folks, so I have a fever of 101 and it's sidetracking the comic a bit. I'll try to get it done in the next 24 hours to keep with the "Saturdayz" pattern, but that all depends on whether this thing gets worse. Just FYI - thanks for bearing with me.
The U.S. Congress has decided to address the complicated issue of internet piracy in the manner a chainsaw addresses rosethorns. As several million other websites have already noted, The Senate's "Protect IP Act" and House's "Stop Online Piracy Act" would censor or shut down entire swaths of the internet under vague terms that undermine First Amendment rights.
