The Colorado Springs shooting, in which a gunman killed five people and wounded more than a dozen at a queer nightclub on November 19, has already been framed as a failure of red flag laws, policies designed to allow law enforcement to disarm people considered a clear risk to themselves or others.

But in this case, it appears a red flag order could have been used against the suspect — and local officials may have chosen not to.

Of 64 counties in the state, El Paso County, home to Colorado Springs, is one of at least 37 counties that have declared themselves a “Second Amendment sanctuary” and openly defied the state’s gun laws. El Paso County’s commissioners did so in response to the state’s proposed red flag law in 2019.

“We’re not going to pursue these on our own,” El Paso County Sheriff Bill Elder said as the law was being debated in the state Legislature, “meaning the Sheriff’s Office is not going to run over and try to get a court order.” Elder has said that the Sheriff’s Office would enforce court orders, but that it wouldn’t pursue petitions on its own, except in some extreme circumstances.

Data suggests that Elder has been true to his word. In Colorado, red flag petitions can be filed by law enforcement, or a family or household member. An analysis of court records by 9News found that, between January 2020, when the law went into effect, and November 2021, just 39 risk protection order petitions were filed in El Paso County, the most populous county in the state, with more than 737,000 residents. Only eight of those petitions — or 21% — were granted.

None of the approved petitions were filed by law enforcement, the 9News analysis shows. Unlike most counties in the state, they were all initiated by family and household members.

“Oftentimes, law enforcement are the people who are coming into contact with individuals who pose a danger to themselves or others,” said Allison Anderman, senior counsel and director of local policy at the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. “If they’re not using them, they’re going to be less effective.”

In the case of the Club Q shooting, the suspect — who was charged Monday with multiple murder and hate crimes charges — allegedly threatened in June 2021 to detonate a bomb and harm his mother with “multiple weapons.” He was arrested and charged with multiple felonies, although the charges were later dropped.

The suspect’s history made him an ideal candidate for a gun removal order under a red flag law. Yet he was never subject to one, and legally purchased the two guns he allegedly used in the shooting.

Colorado’s Extreme Risk Protection Orders law is not an automatic process and requires cooperation from local law enforcement and from the community members it aims to protect. Unlike other states that have removed guns from thousands of people deemed dangerous, as in Florida, Colorado’s state courts have issued relatively few risk protection orders.

Under Colorado law, for an order to be granted barring someone from possessing or purchasing firearms, a law enforcement official or agency, or a family or household member, must file a petition in court and show that a person is a risk to themselves or others. A judge can then grant a temporary risk protection order lasting up to 14 days, after which point they can grant a final extreme risk protection order lasting up to one year, though the order can be extended further if warranted.

But, according to its website the El Paso Sheriff’s Office will not petition for a red flag order except in some “exigent circumstances,” or if there is probable cause that a crime has been or will be committed. Elder has said that he believes the law violates the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments.

“It is the policy of the Sheriff’s Office to respect and protect the constitutional rights of all those we serve,” reads a post on its website. “The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office will ensure that the rights of people to be free from unreasonable search and seizures, and to receive due process of law, are safeguarded and maintained.”

By contrast, in less populous Denver County to the north, law enforcement and family filed some 63 petitions, and judges issued a risk protection order in 79% of those cases. Of the 50 orders approved, 47 were filed by law enforcement.

Denver County’s statistics, unlike El Paso County’s, reflect a national trend, according to Anderman: Law enforcement officers and agencies are more likely to file and be granted a red flag petition, she said, in part because family members are often intimidated by the process of going to court, and in at least seven states, only law enforcement officials are allowed to petition for a red flag order.

But leaving the implementation of red flag laws to local, elected law enforcement officials like sheriffs allows politics to interfere. Unlike city or state police, county sheriffs are elected and, according to a national survey, many of them believe that gun laws go too far and, in several cases, have refused to implement them.

“There is a pattern of sheriffs trying to step in and proclaim their authority to both set policy, as well as enforce policy,” said Emily Farris, an associate professor of political science at Texas Christian University. Along with Mirya Holman, of Tulane University and the Marshall Project, Farris surveyed more than 500 sheriffs about their views of their authority. “They themselves feel that they get to interpret whether or not something is constitutional, and what their office is or is not going to do.”

Some states have taken steps to train law enforcement officials and residents on how to file red flag petitions. In New York, where a mass shooting at a supermarket in Buffalo prompted questions about the state’s red flag law, Governor Kathy Hochul ordered State Police to file for red flag orders whenever they have probable cause. The directive, along with a new law passed by the state Legislature requiring all law enforcement agencies to increase their use of red flag orders, led to a substantial increase in red flag petitions.

While Hochul’s order appears to have increased red flag applications among the agencies she can control, it may not affect county sheriffs. Governors can control state police, and city councils can control city police, but sheriffs offices lack that same oversight.

“Sheriffs have really been overlooked in their role in gun control because it’s these kinds of laws, like red flag laws, that either involve law enforcement doing the petition, or rely on law enforcement’s right to enforce the petition,” Farris said. “So you can have this uneven enforcement even within one state because sheriffs are individually asserting themselves. It underscores the importance of paying attention to who your sheriff is. If they choose not to [enforce red flag laws], if they just disagree, there’s very little oversight mechanisms to make them.”

The sheriff in El Paso County is not the only local official who opposed the red flag law. Republican District Attorney Michael Hall, who assumed office in January 2021, took an even tougher stance against the law when campaigning for the office in 2020. “This law is a poor excuse to take people’s guns and is not designed in any way to address real concrete mental health concerns,” he wrote on Facebook in January of that year.

A month later, he went even further, writing that those living in his judicial district “can rest easy” knowing that the District Attorney’s Office “will not participate in ‘red flag’ confiscation.”

The non-fiction reads this month really outshone the fiction reads. I especially enjoyed Betty Gilpin's All the Women in My Brain. It was weird and wonderful.

Don’t bother,” I said drily. “I don’t expect you to comprehend a guilty conscience. You’re going to strain something. 🍄 Where the bloody hell did you hide my things, you imp?” he demanded. Ariadne gave him a weary but victorious grin. “Your cloak is in the closet inside Dr. Rose’s spare one, which I turned inside out. You looked right past it. As for the boots, one is in the flower box outside and the other is in plain view in my bedroom, which you hate to look at because of the mess.” “Good Lord,” Wendell muttered. “You have your aunt’s devious mind. 🍄 I realized that part of me had been waiting for Wendell to make a miraculous recovery. To rescue us all, as well as himself, just when we needed him most. It would fit the pattern of innumerable stories. But perhaps Wendell wasn't part of his kingdom's story anymore. Or he was, but merely as a footnote, a trial for his stepmother to overcome as she rose from powerful to unstoppable-- to irrevocably weave herself into the fabric of her world, as the king of Ljosland had. And if he was a footnote, what did that make me? I leaned close, breathing in the smell of his hair--- the salt of sweat; smoke from the fire; and the distant smell of green leaves that never left him. "My answer is yes," I whispered in his ear. 🍄 "Other women snore, or talk in their sleep. I don't recall ever being woken up by the sound of vigorous pencil scratching." "You could always ask one of those other women to marry you," I said. "Though it may not be easy to find one who is quite so tolerant of faerie assassins and strange quests as I am". 🍄 "Would you prefer to wait?” In answer, he kissed me—much more slowly than the kiss I had given him, and more skillfully too, I’m afraid. Afterwards he didn’t lean back as I expected, but trailed his lips down my neck, sending a shiver skittering through me. “You can begin by removing your clothes,” I said. “If you would like to. To clarify, this is a suggestion, not a demand.” “Oh, Em,” he said, laughing softly against my neck. I had my hands in his hair, which was now quite mussed, something that made me absurdly happy. “I’m sorry,” I said, self-conscious now. “Perhaps I shouldn’t talk.” “Whyever not?” He drew back, examining me with a perplexed smile. “I like the way you talk. And everything else about you, in fact. Is that not clear by now?” I felt laughter bubble up inside me, but I hid it behind a mock-serious expression. “I’m not sure.” His smile changed, and he trailed his hand down the side of my neck. “Let me show you. 🍄 There is nothing trivial about good coffee. 🍄 The problem is not the packing, I admit; I simply dislike travelling. Why people wish to wander to and fro when they could simply remain at home is something I will never understand. Everything is the way I like it here. 🍄 I drew my cardigan more tightly about me—it was the chill of the air, I told myself, not Rose’s words. “I appreciate your advice, Farris. Genuinely. But I know Wendell.” “Emily.” He pointed up at the beech tree boughs, which waved to and fro, scattering more leaves about us. “Do you know the wind?” And with that gloomy koan, he left me.

Review: Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherlands by Heather Fawcett

Audience: Everyone

Stars: 4.5/5

dear radish,

I really enjoyed this book! It is the second book in the Emily Wilde series. I read the first book (Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries) last year and had a grand ol’ time. Really happy to say that this latest installment keeps up the quality.

Highlights ft. some spoilers from Book 1:

Having each chapter be a journal entry remains great.

It’s so funny how many times Wendell’s name came up in the first few pages of the book. Haha we know who’s on your mind Emily.

That said, the relationship between Emily and Wendell continues to be delightful and so sweet. Sometimes the chemistry tends of fizzle out after couples get together, but not here! Because both characters continue to be their wonderful selves independent of the other, and that's great!

Emily herself remains a stellar character. Girl is still out here angering villages with her lack of social grace (RELATABLE). As someone who fumbles social etiquette on the daily, I really appreciate this aspect of her characterization. I love how she also recognizes this as a weakness and is shown to make efforts to learn from past mistakes! More generally, I love that Emily owns up to the consequence of her actions and does her best to fix things! We love Emily!

The footnotes at the end of each chapter continue to be A+. I read this book on my Kindle, so I wasn’t flipping back and forth between my current spot and the end of the chapter for the notes. Regardless, they were still delightful to read and provided such a nice means of random world-building.

More highlights ft. spoilers from Map of the Otherlands:

Does Wendell roll through as an overpowered Fae prince easily solving plot problems one or two more times than one may realistically expect? Yes. Do I care? Not at all. We stan Wendell.

Emily struggles to show her affection for her niece. As someone raised in a household with complicated family dynamics ft. adults with love languages distorted by generational and cultural gaps, I really appreciated the way their relationship developed! It was slow! It took effort! Misunderstandings needed to be addressed and previous actions need to be recontextualized. Wooo.

Farris Rose is back and I LOVE the character development.

So hyped for book 3!

Book Blurb ⟦short version⟧:

When mysterious faeries from other realms appear at her university, curmudgeonly professor Emily Wilde must uncover their secrets before it’s too late in this heartwarming, enchanting second installment of the Emily Wilde series.

I did not dedicate my book to my husband — even though, in nearly a third of the essays, he’s portrayed as the long-suffering, lovable protagonist who patiently puts up with my messiness as I work to make sense of an ADHD diagnosis at age 35. If I was still married by the time my publication date rolled around, I figured the fact that I’d made him a charming central character in my life story would suffice. There’s a sweet acknowledgment in the back, too.

Highlighting the most charming qualities of my burly, bearded husband in conversational prose was easy, and nothing I wrote about him was untrue. He’s one of those universally beloved guys, and in some ways, he was a wonderful partner. But as I wrote the bulk of the book in 2022, I made a very conscious decision to leave out anything that might reveal too much about what was actually going on inside of our marriage, and to really lean into my signature brand of self-deprecating humor. I had plenty of material for the latter, too, since I — an overspending direct talker who craves novelty — wasn’t exactly an ideal mate myself.

It was a small, awkward sort of castle - the two turrets were of different shapes and sizes, and there were a large number of windows but no door in sight. A great quantity of moss and ivy adorned the stonework, which contrasted spectacularly with the violent wasteland of wind and ice and gave off the impression of a flamboyantly dressed guest at a sombre wake.

“You made a castle,” I said faintly.

“An abomination of a castle,” he said…

… “Farris,” he called, and Rose returned, glaring ferociously, and seized my arm. I gave a cry of outrage as he dragged me up to the ridiculous castle, for I was furious with both of them, but particularly with Wendell. But as struggle would only pitch us off the mountain, I was forced to allow myself to be dragged inside whilst Wendell marched off with my pencil - now a curving sword - to confront the nightmarish clouds below.

— Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherlands (unfinished proof)

I’ve yet to find a match to world building and storytelling quite as unique as Heather Fawcett’s, and Emily Wilde’s droll narration adds something even more to it.

Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands by Heather Fawcett: Review

There are spoilers for Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries in this review

Summary

After her adventures in Ljosland, preeminent dryadologist Emily Wilde has since devoted her time to track down a back door into the Irish faerie kingdom of Silva Lupi. After all, she had promised her good friend--and future husband if it were up to him--Wendell a way to reenter his kingdom and retake it from his stepmother. Her timeline is sped up drastically when said stepmother starts sending assassins after Wendell, forcing Emily, Wendell, an older grumpy academic, and an overeager niece to abscond to the Alps to try and locate Wendell's door.

Plot 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Purely based on the synopsis of this book, I got what I expected from the plot of this book. However, there is so much more included in the story. There are some interesting new characters, such as Dr. Rose, Emily's superior and colleague, and Ariadne, her niece, both of whom seem specifically engineered to bring out Emily's flaws, be it her impulsiveness or difficulties interacting with people. On top of that, there are two separate subplots, one concerning Wendell, who is going through it this book, and one concerning another set of academics who were brought up regularly in Encylopaedia of Faeries; de Gray and Eichorn.

Their inclusion was a pleasant surprise, and I especially liked how their personality factored into the story. Despite Emily's search for the door largely relying on them, they are, pardon me, extremely unlikable. It was a small twist, but an unexpected and interesting one nonetheless. I appreciate that for most of this book Emily is the one saving Wendell, as it is a reversal of the last book and also a reversal of the fae/human relationship dynamic.

The plot does falter at some points at the beginning, but the connection established to the characters pulls things through. Once Emily starts getting involved in the mystery of de Gray and Eichorn, things pick up significantly, and the last 75 or so pages are quite exciting.

Characters 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Emily and Wendell are still the stellar characters they were in the first book of this series. I really like that although Emily had good character development in the last book concerning her aversion to human interaction, she still struggles with it in this book. It's realistic that her flaws would not be instantly fixed once she's aware of them, and this book also addresses her impulsivity in a way that strikes a compromise instead of just siding with her or the other side. Wendell is still his whiny, flamboyant self, and I swear he becomes more like Howl the more I read about him. Emily and Wendell's relationship is in a weird middle place since Emily is very hesitant about marrying a faerie monarch, but there's so much casual affection between them in this book; it was adorable.

The two new major characters are Dr. Farris Rose and Ariadne Wilde. Rose is an older, incredibly grumpy academic who is both opposite Emily but also very similar to her. He provides a lot of character conflict, and I think he's a good cautionary tale for where Emily's free interaction with faeries might go sour. Ariadne is nineteen years old, incredibly enthusiastic, and Emily is constantly at a loss for how to interact with her. She ends up with quite a friendly relationship with Wendell while Emily sort of sits on the outskirts. Unfortunately, I do think Ariadne is a bit underutilized and could have sparked much more conflict, plot and character-wise, than she did.

The final character I'd like to discuss is Wendell's stepmother, who is very interesting to me. We don't get much of her at all, mostly just the assassins she sends and Wendell's accounts of her, but she is very intriguing to me for one particular reason. It's unclear whether she'll be more present in the next book, but I hope she is, and I hope we get to hear her story.

Writing Style 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

As usual, the Emily Wilde series is a great example of the epistolary style in speculative fiction. It's a little funny that the other characters (Wendell) poke fun at her for her incessant journaling, even when she is literally on the verge of death. Emily's voice is strong and engaging, and I love that she insists she is being scientific and objective when she waxes poetic about how beautiful Wendell is. Also, I appreciate that we're continuing the trend of Wendell getting an entry; his voice is entirely distinct, and I love how subtly he expresses his love for Emily, despite it being present in almost everything he writes.

Overall 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

This was a lovely continuation to the adventures of Emily Wilde and her smitten, dramatic faerie paramour. Emily is a wonderful main character, and though I suspect the next book will be the last, I would love to keep reading with her as a narrator. We get to see a darker side of Faerie in this account, especially considering Emily's dangerously casual interactions with the inhuman, and I think we will get even more of that in the next book. Emily and Wendell are amazing as usual, and the writing grabs my attention in a way most other series don't. I can't wait for book three!

Cinnamon toast crunch

1/1/23

For our first ever churn we made this cinnamon flavoured ice cream with the famous cereal (in the UK we call it 'Curiously Cinnamon'- an objectively more shit name). This was Bibi's choice as the ice cream maker was actually her Christmas gift, so ladies first init???

It was a good concept and fun to make but the recipe asks for too many egg yolks and this affected the texture and it was a small batch which also didn't help with the churn. We decided to leave the cereal in the ice cream after we steeped the milk and cream but it became mushy, "like a frozen bowl of cereal milk" as Bibi puts it.

Next time we would:

Strain the cereal from the milk and cream after steeping

Double the batch volume

Add cereal pieces after churning

Use a different custard recipe base with more cream and less eggs for a creamier texture and less 'bouncy' resistance

Ruby 5/10

Bibi 4/10

This recipe is an ANOVA community recipe by Emily Farris and Jeff Atkin, 'Sous Vide Cinnamon Toast Ice Cream'

•(vid)-GrandSlam06;Int1B- Bee Story

Creation Entertainment TV logo pops up and then transitions to Jared siting on stage.

Jared: Alright, a story. (readjusts his seating position) Let me think about this. Uuum…

Audience member: Practical jokes.

Jared: Practical jokes

Audience member: (unintelligible)

Jared: O-Okay. Okay. Here we go.. (audience laughs) Uuum, wow (shakes head) I'm like a deer in the headlights (audience laughs) (laughs) So, bright (briefly holds hands up to block the lights) Uhh.. You know what? I'll tell you a story about “Bugs.” (scratches head)

Eh, wha- speaking of Kim manners, who's our director- Who also did, I think, 55 episodes of, um, of “X-Files.” He-he had done more “X-Files” than (gestures) anybody else. He, uh, (audience claps) Yeah. (nods and claps his knee) Yay, for Kim Manners. He's fantastic.

He was doing an episode, called “Bugs,” and I remember we were coming off of “Skin,” the shape-shifter episode where we had done the fight scene, which was kind of my favorite scene to film. And we were beat up and we had been training on Saturdays and Sundays and throughout the weekdays and during lunch with this Ultimate Fighter and with our stunt coordinators. And we were all pretty beat up. And we were like, “We just need an episode where Sam and Dean sit in the Impala and make a phone call and get rid of the demon or something.”

And then we read the next script and it's like, you know, Sam and Dean hear about this Indian ritual and they go to save a family who's on some sacred grounds and there are a hundred-thousand bees in the attic. And they're in the attic. And we were like, “Oh that's gonna be a lot of visual effects.” (scratches the back of his head)

And- So, then I remember we're still (audience laughs) shooting “Skin.” We're shooting the fight scene, actually, that day. And, during lunch, our asic-assistant director comes up and says, “Hey guys. So, the bee trainer is here and he wants to introduce you to the bees.” (audience laughs) (smiles) And we were like (scratches head) “What do you he m-whu-” (shakes head) “There's a what? There’s a- Who?” (shakes head) “Bee trainer. Like, I’ve never heard of- How do you train bees?”

And so, sure enough we walk outside. And, um, I don't know if- He- he explained it later like, it was a hot day and the bees were kind of, like, aggravated, because they had been traveling to set. And then they gone to another set. And, I think the li- the girl who was working with the bees had to do something for “Exorcism of Emily Rose” or something like that.

And so, he sittin’ there and he's like, “It's no big deal.” (mimics bees flying) And there're- there’re bees flying around. We're outside and he releases them out of a box. And he's explaining that they’re drone bees and that they don't attack unless they're angry (audience laugh) and that you can just kind of like swat your hands. But we were thinking, the whole idea is that we're not gonna- our characters are gonna (mimics rapidly swatting) be swatting these bees away. And they're like, “Well, you can't really swat the bees. You can go like this with your hands.” (waves hand gently around) “But you can't swat the bees.”

And so, I was just thinking like, “I'm not just gonna sit here in a deck and go like this,” (wave arm around) “while bees are flying around, do- do the wave or something.” And, um, (audience laughs) so he's telling us to go ahead and try (swipes) and he-he wants to show us himself and, you know, inspire some confidence within us.

And so, he gets out. And he, uh, he releases the bees and he-he makes (holds out arm) them go on his arm he put some (points to his arm) little juice on his arm or something. And, uh, one starts getting on his arm, he shoos it away. And were like, “Oh, not a big deal.” And the one gets on his neck and (mimics wiping the bee off his neck) he shoos it away and it comes right back (mimics bee coming on his face) and zips him in the face. (audience laughs) And we were like, “Great. So, here we go. We're gonna get stung in the face. And we're gonna be in the room.” (gestures)

And we really were in a room smaller than this stage, probably half the size of the stage with like 60,000 bees. (scratches head) And Jensen and I both got stung. (audience ughs) And I remember Jensen was the first to get stung because (gestures) he had, uh, he had an aerosol can or something. And he- he was holding it and the bee got on it. And he kind of like (mimics brushing) brushed it off and it came back and stung him in the hand or something.

And then I sort of laughed at him and of course that's when I.. probably sealed my fate. (scratches head) (audience laughs) And, uh, I'm sitting down- I go to sit down actually. (audience no’s) And right as I sit down I go, (mimics sitting down and then jumping up) “Oh crap, there's a bee in my ass. There's a bee-” (audience laughs) And sure enough, I get up and they-they rush you to- they rushed me to some safe air locked room or something where they had a vacuum cleaner and he's like, “Yep, sure enough.” (mimics guy picking off a bee from Jared’s butt) “There's one.” And the guys asking, “Pull down your pants. Make me like-let-make sure you didn't leave the stinger.”

And so, (scratches head) I'm sitting there and trying to, you know, (audience laughs) (scratches head) deal with myself pulling down my pants in front of a man that I've never met before, (audience laughs) who- who’s training bees. And he had a (nods) vacuum cleaner.

And that's another thing that he was saying. That's how they had (mimics holding a vacuum) to get the bees off. Once bees got on you and you couldn't get them off, (gestures) they had like a little air hose vacuum cleaner they (mimics vacuum) , dougz, dougz, dougz, dougz. And they suck the bees into this vacuum cleaner bag where, I guess, they weren't hurt. And then re-released them. And he explained that the more that you have (gestures) to do it, the more angry they get. (audience laughs) So, not to do (laughs) the scene too many times.

But the nature of a television show is you're- is you do a (gestures) master shot. And then you come around you shoot the other angle. And then you shoot a close up. And then you shoot the other guy's close up. And so about three or four hours into it we're like, “You know what? We're gonna get stung for sure.”

But another, uh- another way to describe Kim Manners for whoever asked, was that, um, when we found out that we're gonna be shooting in this attic with all these bees. They got, uh.. (flaps his shirt and then laughs and shakes his head) uh, like (shrugs) hazmat suits for all the crew. All (audience laughs) the- which was (shrugs) kind of weird as an actor looking around and seeing all these tough crew guys with tattoos and like shaved heads in their (mimics cuddling up) hazmat suits scared of the bees. And here we are in like t-shirts. (audience laughs) But Kim, um, Kim turned his down and said if my actors aren't gonna wear.. a hazmat suit I'm not going to either. So he sat there in the attic with us watching a handheld monitor and directing. And I think he got stung a few times.

We're all getting stung. And so, that was.. that- that probably also was.. not my.. most favorite scene to film.

Creation Entertainment TV logo pops up and then transitions to Jared siting on stage.

Fan: All these sci-fi and fantasy shows that are filmed in Vancouver (Jared nods) , uh, I was wondering, uh, what amount of, uh, visiting that actors and writers and the like do to each other's shows? How much of that walking around in the background (laughs to himself) happens among that kind of genre show in Vancouver?

Jared: (nods) Right. Okay. Um, well it's, uh. We're all pretty busy up there. And it's sort of.. (gestures) spread out all over the city. Like we're based in Vancouver, but we're usually.. about an hour drive outside of downtown.

But there was a scene when we did the show, “Asylum,” which was filmed obviously in the asylum. Um, “Smallville” was shooting right next door to we were shooting outside of this bar. And so there was a scene where Jensen and I’d (pauses to look in font of him) drive up- Thank you. (looks back to fan) And, um, and (mimics car driving up) Jensen and I drive up, and we get out of the car. We start walking into the bar.

And so, we decided to play a trick. And uhhhuh, we drove up in the Impala and then all three of us got out of the car. And somebody- somebody in video village goes, “What the hell?” (Smiles) Like, they thought that someone- because Tom- We had Tom laying in the backseat. He had showed up on set. And he was like, “Hey, I want to be in.” And so we had him show up on set he was laying in the backseat.

And so sure enough the (mimics the car) Impala pulls up and we parked. And then three people get out of the car. And I think security, like, ran over (audience laughs) and thought that some guy was trying to jump us or something. (audience laughs) And they're like (holds hand out) “Oh. Oh, I-I'm sorry. I-I-I, uh- What are you doing here?”

EMILY WILDE'S MAP OF THE OTHERLANDS by Heather Fawcett

RELEASE DATE: Jan. 16, 2024

A strong second outing for a well-built world and an interesting, strangely well-matched pair of lovers.

The second in a series chronicling the adventures of an English dryadologist—an academic studying faeries—in an alternate Europe.

Emily Wilde has refused the marriage proposal of her former academic rival, Wendell Bambleby, because she would be mad to marry a deposed faerie king disguised as a human. But she has devoted herself to finding a door into his kingdom, which would allow him to take back the realm stolen from him by his stepmother. Emily’s quest takes her to the isolated Alpine village of St. Liesl, accompanied by Wendell and two unexpected companions: Emily’s niece Ariadne, an aspiring dryadologist, and Farris Pole, the prickly head of the Dryadology Department, who blackmailed Emily into including him. Much of the plot follows the outline of the previous volume, Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries (2023): Emily and her cohort stay in a guesthouse; everyone but Emily manages to befriend the locals (she's hopeless at social niceties); Emily encourages hikes into the countryside, where they have perilous encounters with the local faeries; and Emily’s determination leads her to behave rashly, endangering everyone's lives, until her cleverness and intuitive understanding of faerie behavior allow her to triumph. But Emily’s adventures remain entertaining, thanks to the neurodivergent heroine whose blunt behavior and affinity for peculiar logic present a problem when interacting with humans but prove an asset with faeries. This book also offers new emotional depths for Emily, who struggles with her growing but potentially life-threatening love for Wendell, unexpected affection for her niece, and fraught relationship with Farris Pole. Now that she has people to care about, the previously solitary young woman has to reckon even more closely with the consequences of her behavior and how it affects those around her. Emily feels like a character worth following; hopefully the next installment shakes up the format a little. A strong second outing for a well-built world and an interesting, strangely well-matched pair of lovers.

As a scholar...WHAT THE FUCK, FARRIS?? And HOW DARE, WENDELL???

Also as a scholar...Yeah, that seems about right. On both counts...

Academic integrity, kids. It's more important than getting answers to the great scientific mysteries of our time, unless you can get on that expedition. Then go get those answers.

Standing in the Forest of Being Alive by Katie Farris

Why Write Love Poetry in a Burning World

To train myself to find in the midst of hell what isn't hell.

The body bald cancerous but still beautiful enough to imagine living the body washing the body replacing a loose front porch step the body chewing what it takes to keep a body going—

This scene has a tune a language I can read a door I cannot close I stand within its wedge a shield.

Why write love poetry in a burning world? To train myself in the midst of a burning world to offer poems of love to a burning world.

***

Outside Atlanta Cancer Care

I return to this point of wonder:

what kind of animal began to stand on such small feet? And only two? What vertical absurdity! What upright madness!

Perhaps we were imitating the trees— lifting our arms, wishing for roots— and then forgot to set ourselves back down on our four, more rational feet—

our longing grew our fingers longer, twigs into branches— for if you long hard enough, do you not find fruit in your palms?

I return to this point of wonder.

***

An Unexpected Turn of Events Midway through Chemotherapy

I'd like some sex please. I'm not too picky— (after all, have you seen me? so skinny you could shiv me with me?) Philosexical, soft and Gentle, a real Straight fucking, rhymed Or metrical—whatever You've got, I'll take it. Just so long as we're naked.

***

Emiloma: A Riddle & an Answer

Will you be my death, breast? I had asked you in jest and in response you hardened—a test of my resolve? Malignant magnificent palimpsest.

•

Will you be my death, Emily? Today I placed your collected poems over my breast, my heart knocking fast on your front cover.

•

Will you be my death, chemo? The shell of my self in the sphere of time plucking, plucking the wool of my hair from its branches.

•

Will you be my death, Emily? And keep the sky from reaching inside— you, the voice; me, the faithful echo? Will you be my death, echo?

•

Do you know—no in which meadow—mow the gingko grows—goes which is fallow, which furrowed—foes what is winnowed, what is—woe.

***

Woman with Amputated Breast Returns for her Injection

Now I lack the muscle to pull me into the third dimension, but in these two I can give you the world! Three drains, five scans, twenty thousand dollars! Come, Doctor, how do you like me now—

I never wanted to be anything but biddable. You see the outline of my shape? Fill it in with your pencils, seven points tickling me with color.

I can! I can! I can can-can! Watch me can! Watch me do! Watch me has! Watch me watch! This cancer patient has ambition—

I scratch and scratch and here we are, dancing the chart— when you give me that Zoladex shot, it's from one long needle, and right in the gut.
