[Possible trigger for those who have been the victim of sexual assault of some kind, not necessarily physical.]
A micro-blogged (written in increments of 140 characters or less, I believe) science fiction short story from the New Yorker’s science fiction issue.

My little brother got into outer space and stuff so my step-mom bought him a place mat with all the planets on it. When I first saw it, I was upset, because it was newer and so Pluto wasn’t labeled. I was about to say something when I noticed something…

Link trigger warning: a rather too-blithe discussion of incest from some Republican male shitbag who would obviously know everything about women’s problems
