I recently wrote a piece about Netflix’s adaptation of ‘The Three-Body Problem’ for @ConversationUK @annalouwalker Despite its obvious flaws, particularly like issues with CR and how it handles Ye Wenjie’s character, it’s definitely worth watching!

A fantastic, well-thought out talk by @MsCrisDiamant titled You Do Not Recognise the Dangerous Bodies: Imperialist Moral Panics in Jeanette Winterson’s Technogothic Writings. Congrats, Cristina! I also got to talk her about Buffy and Charmed with her afterwards ❤️
