Links, links, links! A Links Round-Up

Tap tap, this thing on? I thought I’d actually share some links, for a change! I hope everyone reading this is staying safe at this absolutely idiotic moment in our climate emergency. I guess like, stay cool, get air filters, and call your elected representatives to demand that they take action to fix the goddamn planet. The always-great Angelica Jade Bastien reviews the new The Little Mermaid.
