Happy-making: my daughter emailed me a flyer she put together for the Coexist Club at school (it's like glee club, but with less singing and more treating people like actual human beings, apparently) and asked me to print out a few copies for her, and they flyers are for their movie night and they're showing The Laramie Project, and y'all, I'm just so proud of her right now. We butt heads a lot because we're pretty similar, and just this morning I sent her out to the bus with "You know what? Don't eat breakfast! Don't brush your hair! Don't wear a jacket. FREEZE for all I care!!!eleventy!!"** But the thing is, she's a good kid. She cares about things that are important, and she's doing something about it. <3

Crazy-making: I need a fandom for a show that has less skeevy gender/race/ability issues, y'all. It's kinda starting to wear me down a little bit. I need a show/books/movies/etc -- preferably genre, but at this point I'm not picky -- that treats people like human beings. I need a fandom where pointing out skeevy issues isn't immediately greeted with "GTFO IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT" or "IT'S JUST A SHOW." Is there such a show? Such a fandom?

**Okay, so not my best parenting moment ever.
