![]() ![]() Mariska had been saving up for months to buy the new capacitive fluxeon ionizer. But NAN-C did sometimes talk too much-at least there was a mute button when Mariska needed some silence. Thankfully NAN-C didn’t usually bother her like live beings. ![]() Mariska had had time to review the schematics for the capacitive fluxeon ionizer she was waiting to buy time to study some of the star maps for The Old System, which she hadn’t yet travelled and lots of alone time. She was beginning to worry about her pristine reputation. There had been too many interruptions recently: equipment failures, rogue gravity wells, and space pirates. Chapter 1 Bed of BasidiomycotaĪll Mariska wanted was a quick jaunt to the outer system with a few days of much needed solitude, just her and NAN-C, her sometimes too matronly computer. The delivery should have been like every other-but it wasn’t. ![]() The Stellar Hermes had been blasting towards the outer rim of The First System, closing on its destination. ![]()

Manhunt gretchen6/7/2023 ![]() ![]() I mean all this as a sincere compliment to Felker-Martin's work. ![]() I am sure it will challenge many trans readers (like myself) as much as it will challenge cis readers. It is gory, and brutal, and sickened me more than any other horror novel I've read in recent memory. To be upfront, Manhunt is not for everyone. Told from a trans perspective, Manhunt is a fresh, stomach-turning take on gendered apocalypse. Oh, plus a faction of authoritarian trans-exclusionary radical feminists (TERFs) slowly taking over the Eastern seaboard, killing trans people just as quickly as the infected beasts will. In Gretchen Felker-Martin's electric debut novel Manhunt, the book's nightmare world is populated with everyone left - mostly cisgender women, but there are also plenty of non-binary people, transgender men, and transgender women. In an apocalypse where a virus turns anyone with enough testosterone into a feral, cannibalistic beast, who survives? ![]() Editor's note: This review contains a discussion of topics some may find disturbing. ![]()

What I Believe by Bertrand Russell6/7/2023 ![]() ![]() Humanity is the product of causes that had no prevision of his appearing. The famous British philosopher and atheist Bertrand Russell has done so, in his 1907 essay " A Free Man's Worship." I think Russell has done an admirable and logical job i.e., were I an atheist I would believe the following four things.ġ. What, then, are the beliefs of atheism? Some (but not all) atheists have come forth with them. In logic there is no such thing as "true for me, but false for you." That's called the "subjectivist fallacy," and to commit it is to be irrational. If it is true it is true for everyone if it is false it is false for everyone. A proposition, or statement, is a sentence that is either true or false. ![]() That's the philosophic-logical understanding of propositions, or statements. To say that everyone has a "worldview" is to say that everyone has a set of beliefs that they hold as "true." "True" here means: true for everyone. ![]() Atheism is a worldview, with its own narrative.Įveryone has a worldview. Tomorrow, in my MCCC Philosophy of Religion classes, I will introduce my students to the logic of atheism. ![]()

![]() ![]() Seems like this is the feature, rather than the exception, in HM. However, the frustratingly avoidable heart wrenching parts made me anxious, mostly because I basically fell in love with Oliver, and can’t stand when Luc hurts him with his “arseholeness” and lack of communication. ![]() I love that they have to work for it, and they slowly bloom into each others lives. I just finished Boyfriend Material and fell in total love with their romance.

The kite runner novel6/6/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Matthew Spangler’s stage adaptation of Hosseini’s eponymous novel does an adequate job of preserving a lot of the book’s magic as it follows Amir’s (portrayed with nuance by Amir Arison) passage from Kabul, Afghanistan to San Francisco, USA, and back, as the story digs deep into his joy and sorrow. Spanning across decades and continents, its labyrinth of interwoven threads tugs at your heartstrings with every twist. Khaled Hosseini’s semi-autobiographical novel The Kite Runner is certainly a great story. A great story stays with you and echoes through the ages. ![]()

![]() ![]() No Australian author can hope to extricate his hero or heroine, however pressing the emergency may be, by means of a spring panel and a subterranean passage, or such like relics of feudal barons … There are no ruins for that rare old plant, the ivy green, to creep over and make his meal of. No storied windows, richly dight, cast a dim, religious light over any Australian premises. With tongue firmly in cheek, Sinnett nails down the case. Apart from what he terms ‘the Aboriginal market’ and its ‘associations’, which he passes quickly over, there is ‘to be obtained in Australia not a single local reference a century old’. ![]() The problem, as Sinnett identifies it – and he was not the first and certainly not the last to conjure with it – was that Australia had no lore, no tradition, no myths and legends, in short, no rich past for a writer to call upon. In his essay ‘The Fiction Fields of Australia’ (1856), Frederick Sinnett conducts an inquiry ‘into the feasibility of writing Australian novels or, to use other words, into the suitability of Australian life and scenery for the novel writers’ purpose and, secondly, into the right manner of their treatment’. ![]()
