Well, finding out that there are LEGO versions of the female Supreme Court Justices has me feeling that all over again. And it's thanks to \u003ca href=\"http://maiaw.com/index.html\">Maia Weinstock\u003c/a>, who created the “Legal Justice League” — a bad ass collective featuring toy figurines of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and former Justice Sandra Day O’Connor — to commemorate International Women's Day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The goal has been to inspire people to consider our generation's thinkers and makers as heroes worthy of action figures,” \u003ca href=\"http://www.makers.com/blog/women-supreme-court-are-now-awesome-legos\">Weinstock told MAKERS\u003c/a>. “All of these women are trailblazers who should be celebrated — not only by adults but by kids just learning about civics and government.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hear, hear! Seeing the Justices in this way also serves as a reminder that only four women out of 112 have served on the Supreme Court, since it was founded in 1789. (*Debbie Downer sound*)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In case you want to buy and display these feminist tokens in your home, touch luck. Weinstock tried to submit the set to the Lego Ideas contest, but the company deemed the project too \"political.\" No matter because, while we all can't have them for ourselves, these lovely treasures do exist somewhere!

Well, finding out that there are LEGO versions of the female Supreme Court Justices has me feeling that all over again. And it's thanks to \u003ca href=\"http://maiaw.com/index.html\">Maia Weinstock\u003c/a>, who created the “Legal Justice League” — a bad ass collective featuring toy figurines of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and former Justice Sandra Day O’Connor — to commemorate International Women's Day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The goal has been to inspire people to consider our generation's thinkers and makers as heroes worthy of action figures,” \u003ca href=\"http://www.makers.com/blog/women-supreme-court-are-now-awesome-legos\">Weinstock told MAKERS\u003c/a>. “All of these women are trailblazers who should be celebrated — not only by adults but by kids just learning about civics and government.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hear, hear! Seeing the Justices in this way also serves as a reminder that only four women out of 112 have served on the Supreme Court, since it was founded in 1789. (*Debbie Downer sound*)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In case you want to buy and display these feminist tokens in your home, touch luck. Weinstock tried to submit the set to the Lego Ideas contest, but the company deemed the project too \"political.\" No matter because, while we all can't have them for ourselves, these lovely treasures do exist somewhere! Check them out below and also get a load of \u003ca href=\"https://www.flickr.com/photos/pixbymaia/sets/72157623988000684/\">Weinstock's series of LEGO scientists\u003c/a>!\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_15511\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 678px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-15511 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/03/scotus-women-lego-legal-justice-league-weinstock-03.png\" alt=\"scotus-women-lego-legal-justice-league-weinstock-03\" width=\"678\" height=\"509\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/03/scotus-women-lego-legal-justice-league-weinstock-03.png 678w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/03/scotus-women-lego-legal-justice-league-weinstock-03-400x300.png 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/03/scotus-women-lego-legal-justice-league-weinstock-03-320x240.png 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: \u003ca href=\"http://maiaw.com/\">Maia Weinstock\u003c/a>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_15510\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 678px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-15510 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/03/scotus-women-lego-legal-justice-league-weinstock-02.png\" alt=\"scotus-women-lego-legal-justice-league-weinstock-02\" width=\"678\" height=\"452\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/03/scotus-women-lego-legal-justice-league-weinstock-02.png 678w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/03/scotus-women-lego-legal-justice-league-weinstock-02-400x267.png 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/03/scotus-women-lego-legal-justice-league-weinstock-02-320x213.png 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: \u003ca href=\"http://maiaw.com/\">Maia Weinstock\u003c/a>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_15509\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 678px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-15509 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2015/03/scotus-women-lego-legal-justice-league-weinstock-01.png\" alt=\"scotus-women-lego-legal-justice-league-weinstock-01\" width=\"678\" height=\"509\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/03/scotus-women-lego-legal-justice-league-weinstock-01.png 678w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/03/scotus-women-lego-legal-justice-league-weinstock-01-400x300.png 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2015/03/scotus-women-lego-legal-justice-league-weinstock-01-320x240.png 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: \u003ca href=\"http://maiaw.com/\">Maia Weinstock\u003c/a>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Anyone with a microphone, access to the internet and something to say has the makings of a podcast, which creates a wide array of options for listeners who can choose from witty repartee between comics to simple explanations of complex phenomena to friends commenting on the absurdities of life. There are so many options out there that it can be hard to discern between the good, the bad and the wtf.

But I appreciate the potential in this moment, how it feels to participate in a place not muddled by ads, greed and money. It feels unencumbered by the obliviousness of technology merely for technology’s sake. Maybe, just maybe, we can re-set, start over, decide what it is we’re really doing here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The philosopher Slavoj Zizek says, \"I secretly think that reality exists so we can speculate about it.\" And reality right now certainly is very strange and interesting, worthy of our most critical speculation. Our technological existence and our lived experiences are ever blurred, and with what repercussions? In his essay, \u003ca href=\"http://www.egs.edu/faculty/slavoj-zizek/articles/the-interpassive-subject/\">\"The Interpassive Subject\"\u003c/a>, Zizek explores the passive state that arises when we're ostensibly interacting, but actually aren't. Women hired to cry at funerals 0r canned laughter on television are compared to online personas in that our “most intimate feelings can be radically externalized.” Certainly social media is social media regardless of its incarnation, with certain trappings and tendencies. Yet, I can’t help but wonder how the intention, format, concept and context of a social network might influence the subsequent experience. Maybe we can move from our passivity to meaningful interaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I live in a city where Mark Zuckerburg himself is installing fiber optic cables under the sidewalk in front of his \u003ca href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/mark-zuckerberg-construction-work-annoys-neighbors-2014-9\">new fortress\u003c/a>, mere blocks from my apartment, and where on a random Wednesday I walk out my door and interrupt a fashion shoot for a cell phone ad literally happening on my front stoop. On a lamppost half a block away from this photo shoot is an outraged Xeroxed collage, high school '90s style, an overlapping compilation of words including \u003ci>soul, luxury, innovation\u003c/i> and T\u003ci>witter\u003c/i> with images of bombs exploding and fancy cars. Imagine some frustrated person in the midst of their noisy, modern life stopping to cut up a magazine with a pair of scissors and some glue. Ello feels like it is \u003ca href=\"http://betabeat.com/2014/09/mysterious-social-network-ello-explodes-in-popularity-for-people-fleeing-facebook/\">that type of protestation \u003c/a>too, simple but dramatic, a much needed alternative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook, a place my teenage students have whole-heartedly abandoned, has been deemed \u003ca href=\"http://tech.firstpost.com/news-analysis/social-disease-facebook-lose-80-percent-user-2017-says-study-216822.html\">in danger of dying out like a disease\u003c/a>, and further rendered itself out of touch and irrelevant with its latest \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/17/facebook-real-name-policy_n_5839912.html\">naming controversy\u003c/a>. A viable alternative that might help create a new kind of dynamic seems really exciting. As I send out my 25 allotted invites I feel a sort of pre-party giddiness. Who will show up? What will happen next? Ello is different than the lackluster contender of, say, Google Plus. In fact, the energy and buzz around Ello is reminiscent of the early 2000s, when I first found out, to my vague horror and fascination, that my new boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend was connected to my childhood friend, thanks to this thing called Friendster.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Our technological existence and our lived experiences are ever blurred, and with what repercussions? In his essay, \u003ca href=\"http://www.egs.edu/faculty/slavoj-zizek/articles/the-interpassive-subject/\">\"The Interpassive Subject\"\u003c/a>, Zizek explores the passive state that arises when we're ostensibly interacting, but actually aren't. Women hired to cry at funerals 0r canned laughter on television are compared to online personas in that our “most intimate feelings can be radically externalized.” Certainly social media is social media regardless of its incarnation, with certain trappings and tendencies. Yet, I can’t help but wonder how the intention, format, concept and context of a social network might influence the subsequent experience. Maybe we can move from our passivity to meaningful interaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I live in a city where Mark Zuckerburg himself is installing fiber optic cables under the sidewalk in front of his \u003ca href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/mark-zuckerberg-construction-work-annoys-neighbors-2014-9\">new fortress\u003c/a>, mere blocks from my apartment, and where on a random Wednesday I walk out my door and interrupt a fashion shoot for a cell phone ad literally happening on my front stoop. On a lamppost half a block away from this photo shoot is an outraged Xeroxed collage, high school '90s style, an overlapping compilation of words including \u003ci>soul, luxury, innovation\u003c/i> and T\u003ci>witter\u003c/i> with images of bombs exploding and fancy cars. Imagine some frustrated person in the midst of their noisy, modern life stopping to cut up a magazine with a pair of scissors and some glue. Ello feels like it is \u003ca href=\"http://betabeat.com/2014/09/mysterious-social-network-ello-explodes-in-popularity-for-people-fleeing-facebook/\">that type of protestation \u003c/a>too, simple but dramatic, a much needed alternative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook, a place my teenage students have whole-heartedly abandoned, has been deemed \u003ca href=\"http://tech.firstpost.com/news-analysis/social-disease-facebook-lose-80-percent-user-2017-says-study-216822.html\">in danger of dying out like a disease\u003c/a>, and further rendered itself out of touch and irrelevant with its latest \u003ca href=\"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/17/facebook-real-name-policy_n_5839912.html\">naming controversy\u003c/a>. A viable alternative that might help create a new kind of dynamic seems really exciting. As I send out my 25 allotted invites I feel a sort of pre-party giddiness. Who will show up? What will happen next? Ello is different than the lackluster contender of, say, Google Plus. In fact, the energy and buzz around Ello is reminiscent of the early 2000s, when I first found out, to my vague horror and fascination, that my new boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend was connected to my childhood friend, thanks to this thing called Friendster.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Each episode is about 20 minutes, and “Damsel in Distress” itself has three parts, so it’s longer than an hour altogether. They feature game footage and commentary from Sarkeesian, who discusses the games and women’s roles in them. She discusses tropes and recurring stereotypes in a way that -- even if you understand, intellectually, that video games often portray women in a sexist manner -- is shocking and unacceptable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She does not try to take anyone’s games away. She does not call for boycotts. She simply shines a light on an aspect of video games that many vocal opponents of her point of view would rather not be discussed in an open and critical way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For trying to have that discussion, and for making videos that say things like, “These sexually objectified female bodies are designed to function as environmental texture while titillating presumed straight male players,” the Feminist Frequency Twitter account receives messages like, “Bitch, Shut your f***ing mouth and stop pmsing all over the media you don’t like.” Sarkeesian sometimes screencaps and shares them, tweeting this past August: “I usually don’t share the really scary stuff. But it’s important for folks to know how bad it gets.” In 2012, Sarkeesian also spoke at TEDxWomen in 2012 about being targeted for harassment during and after the successful Kickstarter for Tropes vs. Women in Video Games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With each new video from Feminist Frequency, it seems like the level of vitriol gets even worse. Released on August 25th of this year, the response to “Women as Background Decoration, Part Two” included tweets and posts of support from Joss Whedon and BoingBoing, but it also provoked threats of violence against Sarkeesian and her family that were so severe that she contacted the police and left her home for her own safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13560\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 427px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-13560\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/09/8494631428_1f991b1934_z.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Alex Lazara\" width=\"427\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/09/8494631428_1f991b1934_z.jpg 427w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/09/8494631428_1f991b1934_z-400x599.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 427px) 100vw, 427px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: \u003ca href=\"www.alexlazara.com\">Alex Lazara\u003c/a>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But it’s not just about trolls and gamers taking on Anita Sarkeesian. It’s not even strictly a battle against feminism. There is a systematic harassment of women in games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the week before the latest Feminist Frequency video was released, indie developer Zoe Quinn, whose award-winning game Depression Quest is a largely text-based game about living with depression, saw her career and personal life turned upside-down when an ex-boyfriend posted a widely read, and very lengthy, blog chronicling the intimate details of their breakup. A lot of it was personal and nearly all of it was mean and condescending, but the accusation that her detractors latched onto most was that Quinn had traded sex for positive reviews of Depression Quest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quinn’s accusers claimed they were battling corruption in games journalism, and that the review in question had been written by Nathan Grayson for the games site Kotaku. And while there is a post by Grayson mentioning Quinn on that site, and a while a subsequent post on Kotaku revealed that Grayson and Quinn had a personal relationship, the review itself that was supposedly traded for sex? It doesn’t exist. If it was written, it was never posted. Quinn has refused to comment on the matter, saying it is entirely personal and has nothing to do with her work or her place in the industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quinn did nothing illegal. Quinn and Grayson did nothing professionally unethical. Someone’s feelings certainly were hurt, whatever allegations are true or not. But that’s unfortunate, not unethical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is illegal and unethical is the harassment that was turned against Quinn and her friends after these allegations were made. A group of anonymous hackers turned their outrage against Quinn and anyone who spoke up for her. Phil Fish, designer of the innovative, post-modern puzzle/platform game FEZ, had his website taken down, Twitter account hacked, and bank account and email information made public after he expressed support for her. Fish, who has a history of volatile responses to the games media, tweeted that he was quitting games, putting FEZ and his company, the Polytron Corporation, for sale. He also advised aspiring developers to “give up on your dreams. RUN AWAY,” rather than get involved with the video games industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe that seems drastic, but the attacks against Anita Sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn are just the parts of the iceberg we can see. I reached out to journalist Kate Cox to ask for her input, as a former games journalist who has largely left the industry and moved into public interest work for \u003cem>The Consumerist\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Having changed fields, I realize in retrospect how constantly tense and nerve-wracking professional games journalism was,” she said. “My work still generates disagreement and angry letters, because every journalist’s occasionally does, but not having to wade through a few hundred hateful, potentially abusive or even threatening comments and emails on every piece I write has taken a huge weight off my shoulders. Starting from the place where you know a very vocal segment of your readership hates you just for existing -- which is doubly, triply, quadruply pronounced for any woman in the field -- is just a hard way to live.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Video games are a young art form, but it’s one of the fastest growing forms of popular media. There’s some debate over what the first video game was, but the Magnavox Odyssey, the first commercially available video game console, was released in 1972. Its prototype resides in the Smithsonian. For a long time -- for decades -- video games were the province of mostly middle-class, straight, white, male gamers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s simply not the case anymore. Nearly half of all video gamers are women, and there is a pop cultural sea change happening with regard to feminism and other voices that have gone unheard. The bigots aren’t going quietly into the night, but the close-minded, misogynistic point of view that has been the dominant one in video games is disappearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Art belongs to the artist only until they share it with the world. After that, it belongs to the audiences and critics who engage with it. They can challenge that art, pick it apart, love it and hate it at the very same time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s sad when a niche becomes so virulently toxic that reasonable, mature people can consider walking away the best option,” Kate Cox told me. “I know a lot of people of all genders who are sticking with it and doing excellent, amazing, vital, necessary work that I love to read and share. But sometimes I do really wonder for how long.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only a handful of game developers and companies have stood up and supported women like Anita Sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn when they’ve come under fire. And it’s true that a bigot’s money will spend just like anyone else’s. But if all of the rational, open-minded Social Justice Warriors decide it’s not worth talking about games anymore, it’s the bigots who will be left in charge. Is that who you want to sit down and play a game with?\u003c/p>\n\n",
