• Here is an 18th century drawing. It is titled “A Map Of A Woman’s Heart“. No, really, that is the title. As our Sarah J said, who else fancies a paddle in the LAKE OF SELF CONCERN? No? Then let us go hiking in the REGION OF SENTIMENTALITY! At once, ladies, at once!
• To My Someday Daughter: beautifully illustrated article on Star City Games by Geordie Tait on Twitter, sexism, That Gizmodo Magic The Gathering Business, and geek tribalism.
• Warhammer 40k Space Marine: Most Surprisingly Feminist Game of the Year Contender? What I like most about this post, which reader Brave Sir Robin sent us, is lines like “Mira doesn’t have time for this motherfucking conventional treatment of motherfucking women in motherfucking videogames”.
• Relatedly, Women Fighters In Reasonable Armour, our new favourite tumblr that isn’t titled “animals talking in caps lock”.¹
• And finally, after a string of tweets from Laurie Penny on actresses who should play Doctor Who, illustrator Rosy Higgins imagines what Tamsin Grieg as the Doctor, with Helena Bonham-Carter as the Master, would look like. It looks bloody awesome. WHEN DOES FILMING START.
