This morning you can read my latest essay in Uncanny, Save Me a Seat on the Couch: Spoiler Culture, Inclusion, and Disability. It's about, among other things, not getting to see the new Star Wars movie yet.





I had to write it before other people could see The Rise of Skywalker, before I had any spoilers, and I knew it would look different once that was out in the world. It does. Welp.





Many of the earliest spoilers I heard were on the way to get my emergency appendectomy. I don't remember those very well. I just asked Mark to talk to me about the movie he'd gone to see because it was better to have some kind of talk than no kind of talk, driving through the central Michigan night, and that was one where I could set him going and not be expected to have a lot of input, which is it turns out not my strong suit with appendicitis.





The world is full of all sorts of things we don't expect, and less full of my appendix and Rose Tico than I would have wanted, is what I'm saying.
