I've spent the past year yelling at everyone in my life to read the ELEMENTAL LOGIC novels, so I leapt up in excitement when I saw this in my podcast feed. Loved this episode, with some really thought provoking discussion of messy epics & queer "representation" vs. queer storytelling.

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

This is indeed a great way of capturing the vibe! (Original screenshot from FB, Ziv Wities says "so this is a book that superficially looks like THIS, but ACTUALLY what it's doing is THIS")

@diabolicalplots.com prints some great fiction — most recently "St. Thomas Aquinas Administers the Turing Test” by Mary Berman. I loved this exploration of what it means for a wooden being to come to life. Neither Pinocchio nor Data, Likeness is compelling. www.diabolicalplots.com/dp-fiction-1...

The original owner is meeee. There's a story here if the winner ever wants to know, but this necklace-crown has been longing to find its person for awhile now. It's always spoken to me of identity and belonging, of finding your place or missing parts. It deserves to be shown off. Are you its person?
