wretched of middle earth book club

its 31 pages (the introduction is only 3) its not imo a particularly dense or difficult read and insofar as it is specifically about tolkien, i think it is overall a very good analysis of how race is translated into fantasy in a way that obfuscates its relation to real-world racial hierarchy while simultaneously reifying it. and tolkien (and his construction of fantasy race) obviously is hugely influential to the fantasy genre as a whole

“...the rigidity that we face in present times, from relationship to gender, is a modern construct that comes very much from the colonial forces primarily through religion … historically many indigenous cultures left room for much more than the binary.”

-Saul Williams, director of the Rwandan sci-fi musical ‘Neptune Frost’

We had such a wonderful and illuminating watching and talking about the Afro-futurist movie ‘Neptune Frost’, which explores the journey of genderqueer Neptune and coltan miner Matalusa, and their blossoming relationships amongst a Rwandan hacker commune.

If you’re keen to watch more sci-fi, or more African cinema, I’d definitely recommend it!

Check out our podcast on the film to learn more.

After the Rain

Hello, I hope you are doing well.

My name is Samar, a mother of two young children living in a tent in Gaza. Every day is a new challenge just to survive, and I need your help now more than ever. After losing our home and becoming the sole provider for my family, I am fighting to ensure my children have a chance at a decent life.

I am not asking for much, just enough to buy basic necessities like bread, vegetables, milk, and essential skin medication for my children.

Please consider donating or sharing my campaign: @save-the-child-qamar

⏾⋆.˚ Magical girl yuri?? On WEBCOMIC DAY?? ⏾⋆.˚ HONEY AND THE MOON is a magical girl webcomic about a depressed teenager's friendship with her bubbly classmate who has already accepted her own fate! It's queer, funny, and is only gonna get crazier from here!! SYNOPSIS: Magical-girl-in-denial Anusha doesn't feel like she can be anybody's hero anytime soon! But her classmate Ellie has fully accepted her own magical girl fate, and although Anusha is scared of the responsibility (and danger!), Ellie is excited to have a new friend with such a special thing in common with her! Friendship and love blooms, but so does uncertainty. As Ellie and Anusha uncover a mystery, they begin to wonder-- are they meant to be, or is this dream team doomed to be star-crossed forever?
