When I first read Dennis Liu’s Raising Dion, the story of a widowed mother raising a superpowered child, I was grateful for its existence on so many levels. Now, even more people will be able to experience this story, because Netflix has just given it a 10-episode series order.

Thanks to Michael B. Jordan and his production company, Outlier Society Productions, Raising Dion will now be a story told on television. Veteran showrunner Carol Barbee (UnREAL, Touch, Hawaii Five-O) has written the pilot and will be running the show with Liu, who is a director as well as the writer of the original comic, serving as director on the series.

You can check out the trailer that Liu directed for the comic right here, to get an idea of what his vision might be (and maybe extrapolate it with a bigger budget in mind!):

As we continue to explore the visibility of Asian and Asian American characters on the big and small screens, marked by the success of TV shows including Fresh off the Boat, Master of None, and The Night Of, we should still acknowledge that there is much more road to pave. It certainly hasn’t ended with the news that white British actor Ed Skrein respectfully stepped down from being cast as Japanese American Ben Daimio in the upcoming Hellboy reboot, and not just because Korean American actor Daniel Dae Kim has stepped into the much-discussed role. Especially not when Hollywood bigwigs have tried to justify decades of racist casting with the accusation that Asian actors are “not expressive” enough to be cast in certain roles—which sparked author and activist Nancy Yuen to create the #ExpressiveAsians hashtag to remind the industry of the countless actors like Anna May Wong, whose performances have proven otherwise.

But beyond the superhero and small screen advancements, there are two major performances that have been missing from the conversation—Ahn Seo-Hyun in Okja and Sareum Srey Moch in First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers. That’s right, while we were reveling in the delightful Hellboy switch, two young Asian girls have been quietly demanding our attention in major Hollywood films that see both of them as heroes in their own right.

As we know, Hollywood has had a long history of marginalizing Asian women characters in roles in which they are subservient, sheepish, fetishized—or played by white actors. And younger actresses haven’t had it any better. They’re often playing frightening ghosts or deranged characters in some other manner. Like any other culture, young Asian girls need onscreen role models to look up to. This year, they have two. That deserves to be acknowledged and celebrated.

The ongoing global appetite for meat is having a devastating impact on the environment driven by the production of crop-based feed for animals, a new report has warned.

The vast scale of growing crops such as soy to rear chickens, pigs and other animals puts an enormous strain on natural resources leading to the wide-scale loss of land and species, according to the study from the conservation charity WWF.

Intensive and industrial animal farming also results in less nutritious food, it reveals, highlighting that six intensively reared chickens today have the same amount of omega-3 as found in just one chicken in the 1970s.

The study entitled Appetite for Destruction launches on Thursday at the 2017 Extinction and Livestock Conference in London, in conjunction with Compassion in World Farming (CIFW), and warns of the vast amount of land needed to grow the crops used for animal feed and cites some of the world’s most vulnerable areas such as the Amazon, Congo Basin and the Himalayas.
