Five things make a post today as well:

1) I'm not going down the rabbit hole today, because Chaz is doing it for me.

2) Wondermark, In Which A Genre Is Derided.

4) Nalo Hopkinson is also down the rabbit hole, unsettlingly so.

5) In fact, sartorias has a whole rabbit hole roundup!

Breaking news, if you missed it:
