I know I technically did one of these posts last month (even though I skipped some parts), but it feels like it's been so long since my last update. I became Twitter famous since we last talked! Just kidding, but I did have a tweet go viral. It was a wild experience for someone who normally gets 10 likes on a good day. Anyway, if I was going to have a viral tweet (or thread, in this case), I'm...

I recently did a ranking of types of sci-fi worlds based on how much I'd want to live in them, so I figured, why not do fantasy worlds too? Fantasy is my jam!

I did my best to come up with ten options...
