DC Women
Harley Quinn and batgirl are the only ones I respect here because they aren’t just walking tits with no personality like 97% of DC women
Yeah, you obviously know what you’re talking about.
You know, I never did get what having “no personality” means. All of these women have well-thought out characterizations
(at least pre-DCnU)with likeable aspects of their personalities. Selina Kyle (Catwoman) and Karen Starr (Power Girl) are bold, ooze self-confidence and don’t apologize for being completely themselves. Dinah Lance (Black Canary) is tough-as-nails and yet she’s kind and nurturing as a mother figure to several other heroes. Pamela Isley (Poison Ivy), while typically cast as a cold “villain”, has a softer side; she is passionate about the earth and connects with it, and even took care of some of Gotham’s children once. Kimiyo Hoshi (Dr.Light) is a brilliant scientist to the point of arrogance at times, but she is selfless enough to use her acquire powers for good. Kara Zor-El started out like Superman himself, unsure of her place in the world, but she always kept on trying despite initial mistakes.Diana of Themyscira (Wonder Woman)…oh god, she has no personality at all, this one. It must be because she is one of the most loving, compassionate and empathetic characters ever. She’s not just a butt-kicking badass Amazon princess; one of her greatest weapons isn’t just her fists, but her skill with diplomacy. She has such zero personality that Batman, that’s right, BATMAN, once said that everyone loves her, because it’s what she inspires in others when they meet her.
Basically, I’m sorry that you can’t look past these ladies’ bodies and your objectification of them as “walking tits” to truly see how they work inside. Just because they’re not as covered up as Batgirl and Harley Quinn doesn’t devalue their worth.
talking to a guy about comics at work today
This would’ve been my reaction too!Angelina: So which of the new ‘52 are you reading?
Him: Well I’m reading all of the Bat-titles right now.
Angelina: Oh cool! What are your thoughts on Batgirl?
Him: I don’t buy that one.
Angelina: Okay, well how about Batwoman?
Him: I don’t buy that one either.

In a recent and amusing example, actress Jeri Ryan divorced her husband to play Seven of Nine on Star Trek Voyager (he refused to move to Hollywood with her). The divorce was contentious, and a lot of salacious dirt was spilled. When Jack Ryan ran for the U.S. Senate in 2004, the release of the documents forced him to withdraw, allowing his challenger to win in a landslide against a last-ditch replacement. The landslide victory propelled the challenger, Barack Obama, to a position from which he could then launch a campaign for President, and… well, you know the rest. But it probably goes differently in Voyager’s historical database.

Argentina JUST PASSED a groundbreaking gender identity bill!!!
From now on, people will be able to change the name and gender on their ID without needing psychiatric permission or any body modifications. Furthermore, anyone who does want hormones or surgery will be able to access them for free through the public and private health system.
It was passed unanimously today by the Senate :-D
UNANIMOUSLY
<3 <3 <3
They were the first Latin/South American nation to legalize same-sex marriage (two years ago - catch up, rest of the world) as well. Awesome victory for Argentinian trans* and gender-nonconforming people!
There’s some great info in this article:
“When Argentines want to change their bodies, health care companies will have to provide them with surgery or hormone therapy on demand. Such treatments will be included in the “Obligatory Medical Plan,” which means both private and public providers will not be able to charge extra for the services.
“This law is going to enable many of us to have light, to come out of the darkness, to appear,” said Sen. Osvaldo Lopez of Tierra del Fuego, the only openly gay national lawmaker in Argentina.
“There are many people in our country who also deserve the power to exist,” Lopez said.”reblogging again because i’m so happy about this

I’ve already posted this a couple times, but since it’s been submitted non stop right now, I’ll post it again. XD It was awesome…
i-lost-my-heart-in-republic-city:
what.
good job iowa
But… Washington legalized it pretty recently, too, right? Or is this just an outdated chart? D:
that’s… wow
I for some reason thought Kentucky would be a state that allowed first cousins to marry. I am so glad it’s not
This is just ridiculous
