    "Queer" is a great alternative to LGBT+. It's quicker to say. It doesn't relegate any identity to the other side of the plus sign. It invites all queer folks to be equal. It's cool being queer.

    Black Panther postcredits scene: Killmonger awakes in a strange hospital. He's shocked that he's alive. How did the vibranium blade miss his heart? In a chair to his left, Ian McKellan's Magneto reads James Baldwin. He looks up, smiles, and says, "My name is Erik, too."

    Spider-Man is an aspirational fantasy about being able to quickly and conveniently get around New York City.

    Vash the Stampede, I've seen what you've done for others and...
    John remembers he still has all of Trigun on DVD and creates a prayer circle out of the boxes, with a lit candle on the center.

    The Universe twirled her skirt. "You know the best part?" she said, then opened two black holes. "It has pockets!"

    Cultural goal: get people to call it "Cosmic Horror" instead of "Lovecraftian Fiction." It's Portal Fantasy, not Lewisian Fiction; Epic Fantasy, not Tolkienian Fiction. Most Cosmic Horror doesn't actually read like Lovecraft. There's nothing wrong with leaving his name behind.

    I'm ace. I'm aro. I'm disabled. And I just won a Nebula Award. Thank you to everyone for the kindness and support, and to my fellow writers on the ballot who wrote such amazing works. I wouldn't be here without you.

    Make no mistake. When Senators vote to strip pre-existing conditions from the ACA, they are voting to kill the chronically ill.
