Superhero term papers!

Clicky!

And for something serious, two articles on the police

One (in two links) on those tapes leaked from a station in Bed-Stuy, and one about the poor little girl who was killed in Detroit the day after Ana's birthday. I haven't posted *anything* about this because it just makes me cry. (At this point, I can't even look at random pictures of other people's kids I don't know, because typically you only see them in news reports after somebody dies, or in psas about carseats or drunk driving or gun safety. Those news reports and psas and all are meant to pull on the heartstrings, and now even looking at pictures like that gets me off and doing something else instead.)
