"In recent times, there is an ever-present temptation to human-wash the fae, to attribute to them human emotions and appearance and nature. I’m happy to report that this book makes no such attempt."
@anushreenande.bsky.social on Reena McCarty for Strange Horizons.
Yes! Including the way he shifted to block him from a possible Everton tackle.
Not only that, he delivered and how! Commanding, nerveless display.
Max Dowman is now the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history at 16 years, 73 days.
He's one of our fucking own. Hale End. The Arsenal.
I'm so in my feels right now. Max Dowman 🥹😭❤️🤍
My latest for @strangehorizons.bsky.social.

This!!! Now, whether the author's picked the right choice as the vehicle for their story and how well the POV is used are fair game for a discussion (again, a subjective one), but I have no time or patience for those with an unexamined bias who refuse to try and break out of it. Their loss honestly!
Since The Everlasting and Warm Hands of Ghosts have already been named, Mad Sisters of Esi by @tashanmehta.bsky.social!
only 6 1/2 months into the premier league season. i feel like i've aged years.
That was horrible really. We played poorly, but defended stoutly 2nd half.
But it's a HUGE night in the title race, a massive win for Arsenal and City have dropped points. Results wise, it could hardly be better.
And Fabian Hurzeler is very unhappy, which adds the icing to this particular cake.
And the Forest result on top of that!
Hopefully fans of rival clubs can take some solace from the fact that we also aren't enjoying a second of this.
That said – at this stage of the season, it matters less and less HOW you win, just that you do win.
We had to respond to City's win yesterday, and while it wasn't pretty (and was quite frightening towards the end), we got the points.
Now, put this one to bed, and focus on Wednesday. 9 to go.
