In the latest Lore Olympus episodes we’ve read, Demeter revealed a little more about Persephone’s history as a Fertility Goddess (namely, that she definitely is one, and that someone else in Demeter’s generation used to be, not sure who).

I keep forgetting that Resident Free Days are a thing in Balboa Park: every Tuesday a different set of museums has free admission for San Diego residents. This last Tuesday it was the Comic-Con Museum’s turn to be free, and the latest exhibit is “Colleen Doran Illustrates Neil Gaiman.” Obviously, we had to stop by.

This past Saturday Wade and I got to check out Black Com!x Day at the World Beat Center in Balboa Park. As a celebration of Black creators in comics, it featured artists from publishers worldwide, as well as cosplay, food, art, panels, music, and more. I highly recommend you stop by next time they hold
Directed by Matthew Vaughn, Argylle follows Elly Conway (Bryce Dallas Howard), an introverted spy novelist who seldom leaves her home and is drawn into the real world of espionage when the plots of her books get a little too close to the activities of a sinister underground syndicate. When Aidan (Sam Rockwell), an undercover spy,
Episodes 262 and 263 feature a Persephone who’s dealing with the uncomfortable reality that the Mortal Realm is dying and it may possibly be all her fault. But for the Binary System Podcast team, that calamity pales in comparison to the fact that Apollo is being a gigantic jerk and it’s stressing us out. The
