Joss Whedon and the Feminist Pedestal: A Reading List

Image
Jason LaVeris / FilmMagic / Getty Images I don’t remember when Joss Whedon went from being a garden-variety household name to being someone I refer to on a first-name basis. I quote Joss, I verb Joss, I adjective Joss . As a woman who was once a teenage girl who grew up with Buffy, I’ve internalized more than my fair share of lessons from Our Lady of Buffdom. For the better part of twenty years, I’ve known Joss Whedon as the creator of a feminist hero. For the better part of the same twenty years, Kai Cole knew Joss Whedon as her partner and husband. He was just Joss to her, too — far more intimately Joss than to any of his first-name-basis-ing fans. This weekend, Cole wrote about her divorce with Joss in a post on The Wrap . She writes about how, on their honeymoon in England in 1995, she encouraged him to turn his script for Buffy the Vampire Slayer — which had just been misinterpreted as a film — into a television show. Joss apparently hadn ’t wanted to work in television anym...

Image
It can be difficult to remember the difference between “apart” and “a part.” They are awfully close in their appearance, and when you say the words verbally, they are almost indistinguishable. But despite similar sounds, the two have very different meanings, making it that much more important to keep them straight. What is the Difference Between Apart and A Part? In this post I will clear up any confusion you may have about apart vs. a part and give you a few ways to remember the differences. When to Use Apart “Apart” is an adverb meaning (of two or more people or things) separated by some distance; at a specified distance from each other in time or space .

For example, Apart from this cookie, I haven’t eaten anything all day. The whole room was silent, apart from Becky. “Apart” can...

Real Conversations on Race

Malik paused. “Did it ever occur to you that people from my neighborhood are scared about rollin’ up on your neighborhood?” “Whatever,” Jim replied. “When’s the last time someone has had their head bashed in by some thugs in Stone Brook? When’s the last time someone had their car stolen at gunpoint when they were filling up their tank?” “Robbery and thugs ain’t the only things to fear. There are other things people like me gotta worry about. Stuff you wouldn’t understand.” Most people enter discussions of racial injustice like they’re entering a gun fight: heavily armed. Their weapons are statistics, experience, and a bevy of opinions and solutions. A new novel titled  Meals from Mars: A Parable of Prejudice and Providence  helps to de-escalate the conflict. Written by educator Ben Sciacca , this book will benefit not only his high school students in Fairfield, Alabama, but also suburbanites and those in between. Meals from Mars  opens with guns drawn on the two protagonists, Jim and...
