Sunday Linkfest!

Call for, uh, Classifieds: "Chimurenga Magazine’s next publishing project is The Chimurenga Chronicle – a once-off, one-day-only edition of a speculative, future-forward newspaper that travels back in time to re-imagine the present."

Old but still relevant: Open Letter to White Anti-Racists

Quick Reviews

Just realized I've read a few books that aren't for school lately and forgot to mention them AT ALL. I've also been reading a lot of issues of Spectra and Lightspeed Magazines.

Anyways. ( Under a cut to save your f-list )

Other books on my reading list:

Flight from Nevryon - Samuel Delany
Calcutta Chromosome - Amitav Ghosh
(And these two books need to be finished because they belong to profs, lol)
The Broken Kingdoms - NK Jemisin
