@duxfeminafacti9 Also no dragons, but I think you might like Jade City by Fonda Lee

@AntiqueThought @cornwell_hannah I made moretum for the final project of @adamrabinowitz’s final project a few years back. I still bring it to parties. Highly recommend.

[Sam J Ross @SamJ_Ross]

Remarkably accurate.

@kataplexis @opietasanimi What are the context and content of the tweet? I’m having a little trouble piecing it together from the discussion.
