Closing the curtain on Pride Month (though, stay tuned—this isn't it for Pride Nights!), author Lyra Wolf dives into Loki's queerness, which she explored in her fantasy series The Nine Worlds Rising.

October was mostly about catching up, and cram in as many things as possible before I headed to the UK toward the end of the month. I had a great time both in London and Bristol - article coming soon, I promise, unlike the WorldCon one... - and it charged me with energy and good feels. It was awesome to meet old friends and make new ones and I already can't wait for the next BristolCon. But until I get myself together, take a look at what we were up to this past month.
