On July 14, 2015, Harper Lee's novel Go Set a Watchman, sequel to To Kill a Mockingbird, was published to significant acclaim and controversy. The plot of the story concerns Jean Louise Finch (known to most as Scout) coming home and making the discovery that it is a place rife with bigotry and hatred. It is a realization that shakes her to her core, makes her feel unsafe around her own family and childhood hometown. This of course is a sentiment which is likely to be shared by

There are ten days left in May.

Vote now on your phones!

In other news, I have another story that's already finished, but I'm waiting on some art to post it.

Sing (2016) is a movie that exists.

I distinctly remember thinking when I first saw promotional material for it “Great, Illumination is doing a Zootopia cash-in” and being ready to dismiss it.
