I've been watching #Shrinking on Apple TV, and it's just wonderful. Such strong character writing, Michael Urie, Jessica Williams, and Christa Miller are delightful, and Harrison Ford is just absolutely everything. Plus bonus Lily Rabe! Big recommend.

Alix E. Harrow’s THE ONCE AND FUTURE WITCHES may be the best witchy book I’ve ever read. It’s super intersectionally feminist and manages to be angry, painful, fun, triumphant, and bursting with magic at once. And such a clever twist on so many different fairy tales and folklore.

@BootLace @netflix This may be true although from what Neil Gaiman indicated/from what I heard, Sandman was so expensive they’re looking more at bingeing than usual.

Off to yet another Solve-A-Long-A Murder She Wrote at the RVT tonight. I don’t have a Jessica Fletcher shirt but I figured this is 80s camp that also revolves around death so it works. https://t.co/2udrm58HBL

For the *sweetest* gay YA romcom that manages to do the fairy tale romance thing while also subverting the fairy tale romance thing, particularly in the context of specifically what queer teens go thru...@TheAdamSass' delightful THE 99 BOYFRIENDS OF MICAH SUMMERS. Read. It.

About 2 weeks ago I started reading my first-ever @FrancesHardinge book (UNRAVELLER). And now I’m already on my third (did CUCKOO SONG next, and starting THE LIE TREE today). She’s one of the best fantasy writers I’ve ever read and I’m absolutely obsessed with these books.

Interview with the Vampire. The mix of gothic horror, humor, and camp; the care with which they reimagined the novel's protag as a Black man from the 1920s; the SIZZLING HOT textual queerness; the stunning cinematography, direction, editing, and music. Every single superb choice. https://t.co/TBusVh3HzO
