cw: rapeIn this month's role reversal, Jess reads a book of essays and Vee reads (really awful) alien smut!Trick Mirror by Jia Tolentino is highly recommended book of personal essays exploring the ways that capitalism has ruined everything. Guest appearance by Foucault.Ice Planet Barbarians: A Scifi Alien Romance by Ruby Dixon (not her real name) is... not recommended. In fact, it's atrocious and I suggest you forget it ever existed. It's a book about heteronormative assumptions and giving excuses for rape because it feels good. Look, consent is sexy. That's it, that's all.
