NEW from me on @clashingsabers.bsky.social: LOW RED MOON by @mikechenwriter.bsky.social is a game changer. I write about *finally* getting a Star Wars story with a droid's POV, what one line reveals about how we gender droids, and what it means that droids are often written as neurodivergent.

Kicking off the first of (hopefully many more!) #TheVampireLestat post-mortems with Damien Atkins and Joseph Potter talking about getting to literally "haunt the narrative" in Episode 3, Lestat's conflicting memories of Magnus and Nicki, and more:

Literally everyone who made The Office is still making things exactly like The Office.

Guy at the pyramids called after me “sir!” No response “maam!” No response, after a few seconds he tries again “cousin!” I think we’ve cracked it. There is a gender neutral honorific.
