So I think the Holiday Hotspot was successful. I saw a lot of people I knew, which is always good, and I was able to teach a few people how to make square knot bracelet. I also saw that, besides the other student union group’s winter solstice related holidays that were there, Women’s Student Union and the LGTB Student Union had tables. Both WSU and LGTBSU had booths relating to important events for both groups- WSU was raising awareness about sex trafficking and LGTBSU was raising awareness about the Stonewall Riots.
For those of you who haven’t found them yet, I give you the Escher Girls tumbler and The Hawkeye Initiative tumbler. The first is a gallery of the impossible poses women are drawn in in comics and manga, and the second is a gallery of Hawkeye (of Avengers fame) in those impossible poses. I think both of these are great arguments for requiring some kind of anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology* class as part of art curriculum. Because some of those poses are physically impossible to do if you have bones and internal organs. Switching the poses male and female characters helps emphasize how women are sexualized in comics.
