Amal El-Mohtar's review of Black Leopard, Red Wolf is, as I'd expect, beautifully written and useful: "the experience of reading this book . . . is more like if Toni Morrison had written Ovid's Metamorphoses: Painful and strange, full of bodies shifting from personhood into meat, and somehow, always, still, upsettingly beautiful."

Via telophase, the offical Captain Marvel movie website is hilarious and fabulous.

Thanks for all the game recs last time, I'll sort through the rest of the comments when I'm less busy!

...Did you mean to put Telophase's email in there?

(I love the Marvel site, it is 90s perfection.)

[kate_nepveu]

well that's an interesting failure mode of markdown-via-email! hmm, I wonder what happened.

thanks for the alert!

Well. That book sounds great for people who like that sort if thing, but based on that review it is _very much_ not my sort if thing. 😰

[kate_nepveu]

it's possible that some day, in a particular mood, it might be my kind of thing . . . but probably not anytime soon.

The Captain Marvel site is glorious 1990s perfection, thank you for bringing it to my attention :-)

[kate_nepveu]

it's been variously pointed out that the loading time and lack of music are not authentic, but I'm glad they didn't take it that far!

"KREE PLAYER 1.0" Hee!

The Captain Marvel site reminds me of the Galaxy Quest movie site (mirror), which was much more contemporaneous but still had that aesthetic. (Bonus points for having the site's "author" as a character.)

oh my gosh. that is so much worse!
