have been unavoidably detained by the world

JSTOR is a Harry/Hermione shipper! D:

Actually, I share almost no ships with JSTOR? I guess depending how you define 'ship. I will only accept Poe and Finn if Rey is in there too.

And John/Alexander Hamilton only works if we acknowledge that I can simultaneously ship Alexander/Eliza. CAUSE I SHIP IT INTO THE GROUND.

Listen, Hamilton was a great person and all and it should have be Jackson yanked off a bill, this is true.

But if you let every cool guy stay on things instead of taking opportunities to replace them with women, we'll just...never have women on things. There are LOTS of awesome guys in history. There are also lots of women. You simply will never get to the women if you spend all time time talking about how awesome the men were, ok?

Added for LJ/DW: And I GET being in a fandom. I GET being obsessed with a thing. I even get being in problematic fandoms that don't always jive with the politics and aspirations I have for the real world. But...really. If Hamilton fans keep Hamilton on the $10, we are missing a big opportunity that won't come by for years. (Because that's how long it takes the mint do anything, apparently.)

I know this really needs to be posted on tumblr, where the fans are going nuts about this particular issue, but naaaah. I like it here.

OMG OMG OMG LLM DID A HAM4HAM ABOUT THE OTHER HAMILTON BABIES THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT INTO THE PLAY. (Video here, lyrics here.)

:D :D :D :D

Now, make one for the other 12 Schuyler children. I'll wait. YES ALL TWELVE. THINK WE FORGOT ABOUT THEM?

When this fandom fades and everything online is lost, the next round of fans are going to be so unhappy that all they have is this (ground-breaking, awesome) piddly musical to see. It's going to be a graveyard of dead video links.

And I have to say, as someone who doesn't identify or consider myself as a Broadway fan, it's still delightful to watch how much we're getting to see the Broadway people having fun with each other. This video has the Fun Home kids and references to Fiddler on the Roof, The Sound of Music and, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson. LMM bring people to Ham4Ham I've never heard of but make him SO EXCITED. Heck, I've rewatched the Les Mis audition/Welcome to Broadway video a few times I love watching fandoms be happy even when I have no idea WTF is happening.

The law school library (in one of their many [futile] efforts to get us involved) has a little poster board up with a border made of pictures of famous lawyers from various movies and tv shows and they ask "Who is your favorite fictional lawyer?"

We get to write our answers on post it notes and stick it to the poster. One wrote "This one!" with an arrow pointing to James Spader from Boston Legal.

I passed it today, stopped, pulled one of the post-its and wrote "KATE SPENCER" in giant letters and stuck it to the board. No one knows who she is but I'm not letting Marvel get all the comic book lawyers on that board. (Someone had put She-Hulk. I didn't notice a Matt Murdoch.)

Also, today I finally figured out where I can go online to find D*Con news and discussion, now that the official LJ has been dying along with the rest of the platform. Reddit.

I mean, I don't have a reddit account, but that's ok. The migration from LJ has basically turned me into a lurker anyway.

And how else would I have found video of all the EFF panels that I missed? HUH?

Lastly, I made the massive mistake of discovering the Hamilton soundtrack free online and also the Genius lyric commentary site so instead of doing homework, I'm listening to the whole soundtrack researching the legality of dueling in NJ.

So, you know, good things.
