    Summary

    In his 2009 book on Captain America comic books, war photography, and American propaganda, Everett claims: “There is nothing to suggest that either the graphic novels issued during the war or the photographs taken during Rogers’ stay with the Howling Commandos can serve as a basis for a queer reading of Rogers and Barnes’ relationship. But even more importantly, there is nothing to suggest that such a relationship ever existed in the first place, and as such, those queer readings are not only misguided, but also libelous” (197).

    [from: Lynn E. Anderson, Captain America: Behind the Mask. Steve Rogers and the Contemporary Hero Narrative (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2012), p. 242.]

    In the aftermath of Steve's return to the world of the living and the battle of New York, the academia and the Internet react.

    Summary

    In his recent article in Contemporary Theories of Cultivation, Lan (2019) sets out to study the correlation between instrument choice and outcomes in the liberation of spirits. While his main thesis appears sound, his decision to limit the study to the qin, dizi, xiao and pipa undermines his conclusions.

    This decision falls prey to the fallacy that tradition cannot be questioned. It ignores, too, the fact that many practising cultivators will encounter spirits that will have no exposure to such “expectations.” In a small study comparing the use of a dizi with a theremin—undoubtedly a non-traditional choice—the theremin produced optimal outcomes in liberating spirits where: time since death was less than 6 months; spirit was younger than 25 and older than 17 at time of death; or spirit motivation included aspects of revenge. The conclusions reached in Lan (2019), while providing a foundation for future study, are therefore as yet incomplete.

    Summary

    It's their third year. Who cares anymore?

    ----

    We could probably get in trouble for this, Yuki thinks briefly. It’s not quite the red light district - (he’s still not Ayame, though he may be a little bolder than he used to be) - but all the same, he’d really rather not get caught huddled in an Okinawa alley with half a joint and 40% of the student council.

    Summary

    4 times Scott tried to woo Wallace, and the 1 time he actually did!

    --

    "Hey, uh, Wallace?” Scott asks. Come on, Scott. It’s literally just Wallace, his best friend Wallace. He’s got this.

    “Yeah?” Wallace asks, not looking up from his newspaper.

    “Would you wanna go out, uh, with me?” Scott asks. There, he said it.

    “Sure, guy,” Wallace answers, neatly folding his newspaper up and setting it aside. “Where we goin’?”

    Summary

    What Sasuke Uchiha wants is an indeterminate EC-02 Step 2 position with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation that offers a decent salary, health benefits, paid vacation, and a manager who won't break all his Excel spreadsheets. What he gets is Naruto Uzumaki, an improbably attractive and unbearably annoying co-op student who eats way too much instant ramen and doesn't understand that "casual Friday" doesn't mean varsity sweatpants.
