Fixing SF?

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] andrewduckerfor the link. N.K. Jemisin speech on needing a "reconciliation" to help SF/F's get past its problematic history (re racism, misogyny, etc.) For my part I would like to be part of a fandom that's at the forefront of cultural change rather than a reactionary holdout - however we get there.

GoT

I linked it on facebook, I ought to link it here too. Ragnarök - The Song of Ice & Fire. Full of spoilers of course (book and show). Non-spoiler version, idea that the final conflict to the series is not going to be ice (zombies) vs fire (dragons), but humankind vs ice & fire, aka Ragnarok.

Possibly also of interest notes on some of the shows historical inspirations (show spoilers only). Not mentioned there, but the historical inspiration for the Red Wedding.
