Brood 17 - the unbelievable large swarm of 17-year cicadas - is already emerging in parts of America. This summer, Americans in the brood's path will experience a plague(ish) of locusts(ish), as the skies darken and the roads run slick with bug-guts.

Writing for @WIRED, @Knibbs brings us the cuisine of @cookinforpeace, a renowned chef who has pioneered "sustainable sushi" and is now foraging in DC for early B-17 bugs to turn into chow: pizza, paella, and sushi.

In much of the world, eating bugs is no big deal, and not just novelties like chocolate ants: think of chapulin tacos, the Oaxacan grasshopper delicacies. These are a serious seasonal delight in LA, and I can personally attest to their deliciousness.

I had no idea what to expect when I picked up @aminder_d's debut graphic novel WOMAN WORLD; an hour later, I was a fan for life.

Dhaliwal, an animator by day, started Woman World as an webcomic with a straightforward premise: men are extinct...now what?

A large proportion of the strips are episodic, with no overarching through-line - like Peanuts, or more to the point, Sylvia:

As the series progressed, these one-off gags slowly built into a complex, multi-POV tale, one with real tension and payoff, sensitivity and pathos. Taken as a whole, Woman World is a like a Magic Eye painting made up of isolated gags, out of which emerges a fantastic story.
