- Okay, the moment us feminists have been waiting on for a long time, ever since superhero flicks became so popular: this weekend, Wonder Woman, both feminist icon and the first female-led (AND female directed) superhero flick since Iron Man made superheroes mainstream, is finally here. Gal Gadot says the Diana is definitely feminist, and Bustle has the news. Are you excited? I am!
- And in related Wonder Woman stuff, Atlantic has a fabulous story about a black woman whose favorite superhero as a kid was white, but she now imagines what it would be like if Wonder Woman was black. Maya Rupert discusses her upbringing and how people told her as a child that it was alright for her to prefer Wondie over Superman, but it wasn't alright to imagine Wondie as black.
- And speaking of Wonder Woman and the furor over that all-woman screening at the Alama Drafthouse in Austin: the mayor of Austin received a letter from a very concerned male citizen, and Mayor Adler had the best response!
For today's musical hit, we have Sia and "To Be Human," which of course is off of the Wonder Woman soundtrack.
