Sorry about the lengthy absence!

Things got hectic again -- I totally got lost in terms of the Problematizing SPN project, and I've got a movie or two still to write about, as well as a musical and two on-campus events.

But my intention is to catch up on the backlog of posts this weekend, along with the various projects I'm working on. My final project for Basic Media Production goes into filming its pivotal scenes on Tuesday, so I need to do some pickup shooting this weekend.

So the post schedule is going to be like so:

• Problematizing Supernatural: Catchup Roundup Edition containing blurbs on
-- 8x13 "Everybody Hates Hitler," and Dean's Gay Thing
-- 8x14 "Trial and Error," and how the WoC didn't get shafted
-- 8x15 "Man's Best Friend with Benefits" and how racism is still a Thing
-- 8x16 "Remember the Titans" and why you shouldn't fuck with virgin hunter goddesses
-- 8x17 "Goodbye Stranger," An Elegy for Meg, and What the Fuck Robbie Thompson?
-- 8x18 "Freaks and Geeks" and how Krissy Chambers kicks ass
-- 8x19 "Taxi Driver" and why Dean can't have friends
• Problematizing Supernatural: 8x20 "Pac-Man Fever" -- Charlie is the Queen, and a Defense of "Mary Sue."
• Apocalypse Now: Colonel Kurtz, the Heart of Modernity, and what we can learn from it.
• American Gun and the discussion I had after
• Jekyll and Hyde on Broadway: the Ramifications of Good and Evil
• Underground Poets and Learning How to Listen: a Reflection
• Take Back the Night 2013 -- Emily May and Taking My Values to the Trenches
• The Problem with Radical Twitter Accounts

Also, I would like to announce the creation of Damn Their Warnings, Damn Their Lies, my new blog for radically political poetry, Les Miserables analysis, and the upcoming Great Census. The blog is still empty, but I'm working on it. The Great Census is going to be a major part of my Honors thesis, for which I'm researching the correlation between fandom involvement (specifically to Les Mis and Tumblr) and political sentiments. I want to see if Les Mis attracts inherently political fans, or if interacting with this narrative and the fandom grown around it eventually makes someone more political, or at least more politically conscious.
