While nothing can match the divine quality of the movie Clueless, the graphic novel Clueless: Senior Year is a fun reunion with Cher, Dionne, and Tai, the main characters from the movie. If you haven’t seen the movie, you should watch it before reading the comic, because the comic will make more sense and because everyone should watch Clueless. The story picks up on Cher’s last day of junior year. One of her teachers tells … Continue reading Clueless: Senior Year by Amber Benson and Sarah Kuhn →

I am sorry to inform you, Dear Bitches, that Jane Austen: The Secret Radical is not the stirring tale of an undercover Jane who lives a life of seeming calm while secretly running top secret missions for the abolitionist movement in the dead of night. However, it’s a fascinating nonfiction piece of detective work that points out that in the context of her day, Jane would have come across as a much more politically and … Continue reading Jane Austen, the Secret Radical by Helena Kelly →
After our first and second installments of Podcast and Episode recommendations, my playlist has grown considerably. I listen to podcasts while walking my dogs and while cooking, and I find that sampling new shows is both fascinating, affirming, and intimidating. Fascinating because I learn about so many new cool things, affirming because I’m so excited when there are new shows, and intimidating because I pay closer attention to finer details of my own podcast after … Continue reading September 21, 2017: Podcast Recommendations →
It’s time for Wednesday Links, where we post some neat things we’ve found on the internet.

I was pretty excited that the beginning of this story was so promising. Then it became repetitive, emotionally limited, inconsistent, and then offensive. Summary time! Stella Newport is a brand new FBI agent. Specifically, she’s a Lark, which is the name given to the … Continue reading Speaker of the Lost by Clara Coulson →
