It’s October, which means I try to devote each evening to watching a horror film, ranging from classics like Nosferatu to personal favorites like Poltergeist to ones I just never got around to watching like The Omen (the original—it was okay). But what about “non-fiction?” Have you ever had an experience you just can’t explain? A…
The Story of Our Tits: A Roundtable About Breasts
Breasts! A surprisingly controversial topic for appendages that occur on many humans. In a recent discussion on how to discuss breast and bra size, we realized that this topic really needed to be discussed out in the open, much like our previous discussions on body hair. We at WWAC are always ready to talk about…
We Know the Devil: Choosing Isolation
I’m obsessed with stories about young women, particularly young powerful women. Comics and movies seem to be enjoying a surge of magical girl stories, but mainstream gaming hasn’t quite caught up. Though it’s better than it has been, it’s still no girl game movement. However, indie gaming, like usual, is the place to be. This…

I’m Loving: Alex Winston’s Music and Being
I discovered Alex Winston in 2012 because I am obsessed with Fundamentalist Mormonism. In my limited free time I read anything I can find about this sect of Mormonism. When one branch of information runs out, I turn to Google, which led me to Winston’s song “Sister Wife.” (Content Warning: The following video contains blood…
Screen Daze: Religious Webcomics to Binge On
September is a busy month for Jews. It’s our New Year (l’Shana Tovah!), we go through some redemption, we pray and chant and eat. So religion’s on my mind a bit and I started looking around for religious webcomics as a result. Readers, have any suggestions for me?
Reading Diaries: It’s Really Radical!
Angel: I seriously have no idea how it’s already September! I thought I had plenty of time to read all the books coming out this month, but it looks like I’ll just be enjoying them throughout the next 30 days. I’m currently making my way through Randy Ribay’s An Infinite Number of Parallel Universes, and…
Everyone Wants to Be Touched: Diary of a Teenage Girl
At 15 I thought I was a pervert. This may be why I loved Diary of a Teenage Girl so much. My sophomore year of high school I made my grandmother, a woman uncomfortable with the word “vagina” take me to the pediatrician I was still seeing to discuss my “sex addiction.” When the middle-aged doctor,…

Classic Anime that Aren’t For Me: What IS the Anime Canon?
What comes to mind when I mention “classic anime” or “anime canon”? What kinds of films are included in the “anime canon”? Paige Sammartino: In terms of films, Studio Ghibli is the first thing that comes to mind, particularly Princess Mononoke. Films like Akira and Ghost in the Shell are not only great on their…
Diversity in Muslim Superheroes: The Webcomic Qahera
One of the joys of webcomics is that they are so free from constraints. It’s just the creator, the Internet, and the reader. Anything can happen. Sometimes it amounts to almost nothing, but sometimes it is the thing of dreams. In 2013, Deena—a Muslim Egyptian student—created Qahera, a Muslim superhero who has supersonic hearing for misogyny…
Phone Game Etiquette: Want a Second Date?
Look around you—someone is playing a phone game. They’re addictive, often free, and do anything they can to keep you coming back. Companies pour tons of money into marketing them, everything from infiltrating your dating apps to throwing boobs at your face. They are apps disguised as games disguised as apps to get you to be…
