  • Is Ann Leckie the Next Big Thing in Science Fiction? Overall, this is a great article except it opens with a really weird focus on Leckie’s reproductive status and body decoration choices–both things that wouldn’t even be a factor for a male writer. The profile’s author did, however, make a point of talking to and quoting women when summing up the last 18 months of being a woman in the science fiction field. Which I appreciate a whole lot. Cora Buhlert has more on how the article was framed.

    Thanks for the link about the lime leaves. I’ve been aware for a while that the K word was a slur in some cultures, but didn’t know there was an alternative name. When trying to give someone a recipe, it isn’t helpful if you use something like “Thai lime leaves”, as they won’t be able to find them, and this is one ingredient that really doesn’t have a substitute (that I’ve found). Hopefully “Makrut” will catch on (apparently my spell check doesn’t like it yet – hmph).
