![]() The story follows Yatima, a newly-minted “orphan” AI who lives in a city (or server) full of other AI. If you like math and physics and have a good background in it, though, you might love it (I know at least two physicists who did!). It’s very heavy on the math and physics and I have to admit most of it went right over my head. It’s very hard scifi to the point where it almost feels like a different genre from the classic scifi I’m used to (like H.G. I have to say that although I really enjoyed seeing my favorite neoproun set used, I didn’t get a lot else out of Diaspora. Important Note: ve/ver/vis pronouns were actually first used by Keri Hulme in her novel, The Bone People (which looks very depressing, though I do plan on reading it). ![]() ![]() I like the way the pronoun set has neutral, feminine, and masculine sounds all together and the familiar English pronoun endings. I was looking at pronoun lists, trying to figure out which I liked best for myself, and was really attracted to the sound of ve/ver/vis… it sounds very shiny and futuristic and I dig it. I picked this up because I heard Greg Egan uses nonbinary ve/ver/vis pronouns for his characters in it. ![]()

![]() ![]() Mohanty challenges the notions that over-categorize non-Western women without considering the class, ethnic, and racial contexts to which they belong to. ![]() This approach is keen, she argues, to label women in the Third World countries as “poor, uneducated, tradition-bound, and victimized,†i overlooking the extant complexity, diversity, and multiplicity of women in the non-Western world. ![]() She argues that the universal categorization of a large group of women in non-Western countries is mostly done through constructed monolithic terms and classifications. According to Mohanty, these writers draw attention to the codification of scholarly writings that discursively colonize and ghettoize non-Western, “Third World†women as the collective Other. More specifically, the author anchors her accounts of Western feminism in a select group of texts produced by Fran Hosken, Maria Cutrufelli, Juliette Minces, Beverly Lindsay, and Patricia Jeffery published by Zed Press in what is entitled the Third World Series. ![]() In Under the Western Eyes, Chandra Talpade Mohanty criticizes homogeneous perspectives and presuppositions in some of the Western feminist texts that focus on women in the third world.

I’ll have to admit, I was a bit disappointed. ![]() Not a mass-produced postcard response or anything. I typed up cute letters and put them in the mail…and then I never heard from any of the authors. I found the addresses on various places around the web. I shared part of a letter I wrote in an earlier post about Caroline B. I wanted to let them know how much I enjoyed their books and appreciated their work. I also decided to do something that I had thought about for a long time, but never had the time to sit down and do: I sent out a bunch of letters to some of my favorite authors. I participated in NaNoWriMo for the first time, took up Zumba, and created a blog. After moving to a new city last summer and not getting a full-time teaching position, I found myself with a lot of extra time. ![]() ![]() ![]() The fierce tiger, Shere Khan, has vowed to kill the "man cub" before he can grow into a dangerous full-grown man. At the time of the story, Mowgli has grown old enough that he can no longer remain in the jungle. The story, at least in the film, focuses on the boy Mowgli, an orphan raised by wolves in the jungle. The Jungle Book is based - loosely - on one of the stories in the book of the same name by Rudyard Kipling. And it did, and it has ever since, albeit with some bumps along the way. This was the last film he personally oversaw.ĭespite that sad note, the show must go on.

Then he disappears through the Shimmer like it’s mist. “Come to me before-before I’m forced to shoot you.” Bryce is terrified, his voice pleading. ![]() Usually a foolish mortal who bartered with a Fae and then couldn’t pay the price, or let a Fae give them something without understanding the consequences.Īn Evermore never gives anything for free. The only time something goes into the world of the Fae is when they want it to. This wall is supposed to be impenetrable. The idea that if I push real hard I could break through comes over me in a wave of impossibility. My fingertips indent the slippery surface. “Please don’t go any farther, I’m warning you.” “Wait.” Bryce’s nervous voice marks him only a few feet away. It’s frigid and smooth and gelatinous, not at all solid like I imagined. A place where day is night and summer is winter and the ordinary is extraordinary. In this infernal heat, it seems impossible that only a few feet away lies a place of frost and magic and strange, dangerous beings. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Legends of Cthulhu action figures are available to buy there now and THEY ARE THE BEST! ![]() The show would not have been possible without the gracious contributions of our Kickstarter backers - you guys are the best!ĭon't forget to patronize our AMAZING sponsor - WARPO: Making Yesterday's Toys.
