- Okay stop whatever you’re doing and go watch Grimes and Janelle Monáe’s “Venus Fly” video. Trust me on this one.

- Oh hey oh hey oh hey, there’s a new Feminist Frequency video! This time on how non-white women in games are turned into exotic fantasies.
- A little while ago I mentioned Elly Blue’s last kickstarter project, a literary anthology all about bicycles and zombies. This time around, the bike-centric publisher is putting together a collection called Biketopia! It’s still funding on kickstarter, and looks great, so go check it out!
