@TheoGermaine Like, half of Batman's enemies are heavily coded as suffering from extreme mental illness, and the other half are therapists. Also, Alan Grant (R.I.P.) was obsessed with referencing the famed psychologist B.F. Skinner in his Batman comics.

An absolute triumph... Giddings conjures up a world that feels familiar, despite the increasingly creepy hints of dystopia. And along the way, she shows what the anti-witch crusaders really fear most: our ability to create a better world if we work together.

Today's the release date for Wrath Goddess Sing by @mayadeanewriter! This is a gorgeous, vivid retelling of the Trojan war in which Achilles is a trans woman and the gods are monsters. Incredible battles, unforgettable characters. I read it ages ago and I'm *still* obsessed. https://t.co/u3yQAc9Er8

I keep thinking about the tribble on Scotty's desk in Star Trek 2009, and the tribble on McCoy's desk in Star Trek Into Darkness. If you remember "The Trouble With Tribbles," this makes no sense because there's no such thing as a lone tribble. Where there's one, there's many.

If you want a post-climate change novel that goes all the way weird, look no further than “Meet Us by The Roaring Sea” ... The story is a kind of multilayered dream sequence that asks big questions about civilization, memory and survival.
