"Cultural appropriation includes people positioning otherness as exotic, high-priced consumables that contribute to white people's wellness. To quote a thing I wrote in a story:
I am so, so tired of being eaten."
--Amal El-Mohtar

Aliette de Bodard (The House of Shattered Wings), Amal El-Mohtar (Seasons of Glass and Iron), and Michi Trota (Uncanny Magazine) explore appropriation, colonialism, consumption, and how it all relates to writing the "Other".
