dolorosa_12Let us not talk of the UK election results - I have no words. Instead, let's talk about something much more pleasant: the return of my weekly linkposts!
Unlike the rest of my corner of the internet, I didn't have a massive problem with Avengers: Age of Ultron. Sophia McDougall and Sonya Taaffe probably get closest to articulating my own feelings on the subject.
Joyce Chng, David Anthony Durham and Kari Sperring (moderated by Vanessa Rose Phin) have some interesting things to say on 'Representing Marginalized Voices in Historical Fiction and Fantasy', at Strange Horizons.
Athena Andreadis talks about the uses and misuses of cultural traumas (in this case, her own, Greek culture) in fiction.
Aliette de Bodard talks about Dorothy Dunnett at Fantasy Book Cafe.
'For the Gardener's Daughter is a fabulous poem by Alyssa Wong, published in Uncanny Magazine.
On Sophie Masson's blog, Adele Geras talks about retelling fairytales.
One of my friends and former academic colleagues has started a blog looking at popular representations of monsters.
The History Girls is not a new blog, but it is new to me. It's the work of a group of women who are historical fiction writers.
Today is pretty grim, so I will leave you with footage of a koala roaming around a rural Victorian hospital.
