Kicks to the gut all day every day. Anyway, if you’d like to escape into some witty and occasionally gruesome (in a fun way) fiction with a brilliant trans main character, may I suggest T. Kingfisher’s Sworn Soldier series? I’m on the third one and they’re *nonstop delights.*

The cover of What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher features a hare braided with pink fungi

A brown and white shepsky lounges next to a rose gold laptop on some Hammer red throws, lulled by the human’s typing. Eventually she’ll realize the draft needs a walk as much as he does.

A movie couple that absolutely would have had a podcast.

Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff in a scene from The Black Cat (1934). They face each other over a chessboard in a luxurious art deco room, Bela (as Dr. Vitus Werdegast) rising from his seat to heatedly confront Boris. Boris (as Hjalmar Poelzig) lounges in a velvet smoking jacket, looking up at the other man rather placidly.
