I'm definitely checking into this show as I'm a big Miyazaki fan. Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind: A New Kind of Action Hero. And a great article on diversity from   Michi Trota: Finding Yourself in Fandom.

You should maybe sit up and take notice that kind of thinking makes you the big bad. The Powerful Reason Why We're Celebrating Muslim Women's Day Today. Next, Five things to know in U.S. women's hockey team showdown with USA Hockey. On immigration--To my Jewish, Irish, Asian and Italian friends.
