• Ladies helping girls become badass app-making ladies over at The Frisky
• Here, have some GIFs of superheroes dancing— you can never have too many GIFs of twerking Spider-Man! (Or Oppan Avengers Style)
• Over at the LA Times’ Hero Complex, authors of color are getting some much-needed recognition, discussing the tangled interplay of gender, race, and speculative fiction that is so often overlooked. You won’t see any all-white medieval England high fantasy coming from any of these awesome women.
• Update on yesterday’s “TWST” story about cosplay body pillows posted sans cosplayers’ consent from io9: company producing controversial pillows backs down. They changed their policy, saying:  “We would like everyone to know that their privacy is of utmost importance to us and that we did not intend to violate their privacy in any way.” Damn skippy.

From Neatorama: this Beemo teapot is adorable. That is all.

• #598704 on the list of reasons why Microsoft is shooting itself in the foot: male presenter at Microsoft’s E3 Event Makes a Rape Joke,  and somehow no one is surprised.

• Your dose of ’90s childhood nostalgia for the day: Capcom announced that Duck Tales is going to be remastered and released for the PC on Steam! Life is like a hurricane here in Duckburg…
• Lois Lane is getting some well-deserved attention with Lois Lane: A Celebration of 75 HC. (via dcwomenkickingass)
