So I haven’t been writing posts very steadily lately. Yeah… sorry about that. I thought the summer would mean that I finally had the mental and emotional energy to do more, and that… well that kind of didn’t happen. But not writing doesn’t mean not thinking, and I have a whole lot of ideas running around on articles I’d like to write. So this week’s post is a reminder to myself of the things I have ideas for. And who knows—if you all like some of these ideas and peer pressure me, I might actually write one of them. (I mean it worked for “Old Town Road.”)
- Marianne Williamson. There is just… a lot going on there. A lot.
- My Complicated Feelings on the Disney/Sony fight over Spider-Man
- Songs that seem to sexualize a girl or woman’s low self-confidence and the fact that she’s not aware of her own value. (“She Don’t Know She’s Beautiful,” “Treasure,” “Little Things,” etc.)
- A frequent companion to those types of songs I call the Nice Guy Song, about how a guy (or occasionally a girl) would TOTALLY be a better partner than the person the object of their affections is currently with. (“Girl All the Bad Guys Want,” “Flavor of the Weak,” “You Belong With Me,” etc.)
- The harmful effects of “Chosen One” rhetoric in media.
- Holy Shit, Literally All of My Favorite Things Growing Up Involved Child Soldiers.
- The Spider-Man game for the PS4 (This one is actually likely to happen, I made Richard make me An Art for it and everything)
- A renewed take on my gun control post
- Ellements of Film posts on Avengers: Endgame or Amazon’s The Boys
I can’t promise returns on any of these (except maybe the Spider-Man game one, I opened a file and everything). But I promise I haven’t forgotten my beloved Feminist Fridays, and I hope you all haven’t either.
