February recs: a blog post and a graphic novel
february was a bit of a wash as a month for me, and consequently I do not have the usual sort of recs round-up for this month. Here's what I've got!
1.
This post by Ada Palmer about looking at the Medici family in Renaissance Florence through a disability lens and through a tyranny lens, and how both are relevant, is an excellent read!
"We always worry about bias in history, but one part of bias is: What question were you asking in the first place?"
2.
it occurs to me that if any of you aren't familiar with the award winning graphic novel Digger by Ursula Vernon, which was originally posted as a webcomic, it is my duty to tell you about it, and let you know that the full story is available to read online for free. It is brilliant, highly recommended.
Digger is the story of a wombat who ends up far from her home after a run-in with magic underground, and who ends up on a quest to deal with the problem of a dead god. It's funny, it's heartfelt, it has amazing worldbuilding and characters, and the art is incredible.
