In other news, I have a new fancy Facebook Page, so if you’re a fan of the FB give it a like! Still can’t think of a username, but I’m working on it.

In other other news, I have finally seen the infinite war of avenging, and I liked it more than I thought I did.

These are the kinds of storytelling defaults that I need to interrogate in my own work, deeply, repeatedly.
