I think too Morrison got the inspiration for the Libertania from a real proposal he found on the web.
Weston's Libertania is fucking beautiful, too. Like a skyscraper on its side. And i think that was the point, as I see in this, at least in implication, a lot of the way America might have seemed after 9/11 and the way our anger was manipulated into war. Which is why that sequence has always interested me. Like riding the toppled tower to revenge, and with the Cheneyish idea of license that now we can do what we like because we're hurt and enraged, even to those who had nothing to do with it. In fact, especially. It's like the spiritual picture of America's soul in the Zeroes Decade.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
