I'm editing this one! When we got it through #SmallPitch I went a bit feral: a beautiful idiot protagonist tries so hard to be Evilβ’ that he... accidentally builds a cozy, supportive community?!

Light & Earth & Marrow by @jeanniemarschall.bsky.social is available on NetGalley for all you ARC readers looking for a quick cozy horror!

I think this is a fair point but I'd also say that Gamergate was a major political milestone.
Not so much on its own significance as because (through Milo) Bannon was able to channel a great deal of nihilistic internet troll culture into the proto-MAGA political movement he was building

#astrology folks: "June 19 Venus and Jupiter meet in Cancer, this only happens once every 12 years and it's gonna be πlitπ"
Me: *does the math* So uhhh 2014 was Gamergate and 2002 was war in Iraq and 1990 was also war in Iraq and that's every "Venus+Jupiter in Cancer" in my generation's lifetime π«

My darling sapphic witches Tilly & Ralda bring to the page all my hopes for a better way of existing with and within this beautiful superorganism we call Earth.
AND they bring that voice that says, If not ...then you've had it coming
