I am reading in New York on Monday! Hope to see some of you all there.
And my friend Bert Stabler posted some pictures of me reading in Urbana last Saturday. I stand before impressive windows.

At Urbanfaith.com I interviewed Mikki Kendall about diversity in comics, sci-fi, and YA.
At Ravishly I wrote about:
—Chris Hedges, Wonkette and how hatred of sex workers sells.
—why the Handmaid’s Tale is overrated, and Marge Piercy’s great A Woman At The End of Time.
—Batgirl and changing audiences in comics.
—how Starbucks should have a conversation about class and making workers do emotional labor for no pay.
At Splice Today I argued that the left should spend less time on the strategy of privilege discussions, and more time on their truth.
At the New Republic I wrote about Sensation Comics and why Wonder Woman needs her lasso of control back.
