Back last spring, I bought myself a PS Vita. It’s not that I’ve given up on Nintendo; I still love my 3DS and steal turns on Boyfriend’s Wii U. It’s just that I love Mario and Zelda so much that I’ve already blitzed through the games I want to play.…
I don’t remember much about Square One‘s Dragnet parody, Mathnet, apart from the fact that I loved it, that the Christmas episode of Shining Time Station prevented them from ever airing the solution to their wrestling mystery serial, and that one plotline sticks out in my memory. The two Mathnet…
I am an expert in reading last books in awesome series. You can tell this because at the time of writing this blog entry, I have no fewer than three on my shelf, bookmarks firmly ensconced. (For the curious, Dexter is Dead, Monsters of Men, and, of course, Ancillary Mercy.)…

When the movie version of Ender’s Game came out, I wasn’t sure what to do. If some authors’ politics are homophobic or racist or other things I believe are wrong, how should I react to their work to live up to my own ethical responsibilities? Part of the reason it’s difficult…
