Exolore: facts-based fictional worldbuilding12 Kesä 2020

The World of Matriarchal Squid

In an ocean surrounded by a miles-deep sheet of ice, the lady squid reign supreme. Don't let their artsy mating rituals and inverted ice mountaineering fool you; they will rip your head off and throw it to the vents.

HOSTED by Moiya McTier (@GoAstroMo), astrophysicist and folklorist
