“Horizon Zero Dawn” Is a Surprisingly Beautiful Apocalypse

The story never exactly surprised me, but the way it unfolds made it seem more inevitable than predictable. To stop the new world from ending, you need to find out how the old one ended, and the answer is: horribly, preventably, and sadly. Really really sadly.

Carmilla’s Natasha Negovanlis And Elise Bauman Are Making The Queer Art They Want To See In The World: The Autostraddle Interview

“I think just listening to people’s experiences has made me so much more aware. Queer representation was always something that was important to me, but I don’t think I was as educated or knowledgeable on just how important it is until I really took the time to listen to our viewers.”
