The relationship between utopia and science fiction is explored through the representations of otherness … alien life and alien worlds … and a study of the works of Philip K.

It is so fast that in a fraction of a second a tiny subatomic speck of space is blown to dimensions much greater than the entire currently observable region. Inflation is a period of super-fast, accelerated expansion in early cosmic history. It is the subject of the theory of inflation, which was developed in the early 1980s by Alan Guth, Andrei Linde and others, and has led to a radically new global view of the universe. The nature of the bang itself has come into focus only relatively recently. For nearly a century cosmologists have been studying the aftermath of this explosion: how the universe expanded and cooled down, and how galaxies were gradually pulled together by gravity. ![]() The universe as we know it originated in a great explosion that we call the big bang. Here, multiverse proponents Alexander Vilenkin and Max Tegmark offer counterpoints, explaining why the multiverse would account for so many features of our universe-and how it might be tested. Editor's note: In the August issue of Scientific American, cosmologist George Ellis describes why he's skeptical about the concept of parallel universes. ![]() ![]() ![]() In our A Change of World documentary about the role of poetry in second-wave feminism, the poet Sharon Olds recalls the response to submitting motherhood poems in the 1970s: “The editor would say, if you wish to write about your children may we suggest the Ladies Home Journal. In the Victorian era, poetry about mothers became popular-but largely portrayed mothers one-dimensionally as self-sacrificing “angels of the house.” Gilbert, Susan Gubar, and Diana O’Hehir in their preface to the anthology Mother Songs. ![]() Instead, mothers of appeared in earlier poems as “mythic mothers, mother goddesses, and nurturing muses,” write Sandra M. Poets who are also mothers use their work to attack the sexist assumptions that motherhood is not an appropriate (or appropriately sublime) subject for poetry and that talk of motherhood should remain in a compartmentalized, domestic sphere.īefore the 1970s, very few realistic poems about motherhood were published. Poems that represented the real, lived experiences of mothers remained hard to find until the 1970s, the time of the second-wave feminist movement. ![]() ![]() Brave Chef Brianna □ – ⭐️⭐️⭐️ – A cute idea that would make a very fun cartoon but, it doesn’t quite hit the spot!. ![]() Garlic & The Vampire □ – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 – So heartwarming and such a cozy read! I can see myself re-reading this soon in the future!.*Click on the titles for my Goodreads reviews! You can also find my StoryGraph reviews here! We had an entire month of Graphicsathon which was a tad exhausting but so so rewarding and I properly got back into the romance genre which I’m so excited about! I’ve been trying to ease back into it this year but nothing has really been working but I’m currently obsessed with Mariana Zapata’s books and the Grumpy x Sunshine trope so I see a lot of those books in my immediate future! February, overall, was a good month and I’m very intrigued to see how March goes! It both felt like the longest and the shortest month! It’s been wild, work started up again and then stopped at the very end of the month because we’re currently going through some absolutely insane flooding in my state so everyone is staying home, but that just means that because I’m not working, I’m reading a tonne, which I’m sure will reflect in the start of next month’s wrap up! ![]() Hey everyone, welcome or welcome back to my blog! February is somehow over and I think I might be a little bit it in shock because of it. ![]() ![]() ![]() In December 2022, new cast members were announced.

Who’s in the cast of Sanditon season 3? Sanditon season 3 returning cast ![]() ![]() ![]() There are days when Twitter feels like a cesspool, but through connections that I’ve made there, I’ve been connected to the brilliant minds of folks like Harriot. We may not have understood all of the intricacies the way that they did, but we were aware. ![]() My parents made sure that we knew when elections were happening and who was running for what. Politics were always important in our household. And he does it while still encouraging us to smile, dance, and learn. I’m not sure Harriot smokes, but he uses well-placed cuss words to get points across on how messed up this world is toward Black folk. All while possibly doing the things that the kids can’t openly do. When you think of the cool uncle, oft times he is a person who can regale the kids with stories of things back in his day. ![]() ![]() My Year of Rest and Relaxation is a powerful answer to that question. It’s the year 2000 in a city aglitter with wealth and possibility what could be so terribly wrong?

In fact the first four issues are an adaptation of the movie…kinda. That being said, Welcome to my retro review of the first Issue of Clive Barker’s Nightbreed! For those who don’t know, The company that brought you The Hellraiser series, Epic Comics, saw the potential of a Nightbreed comic early on. Therefore, I am not positive as to what all is in the Cabal Cut, with the exception of what the guys have talked about on the Podcast. ![]() I have yet to see the Cabal Cut of Nightbreed. ![]() I am going to start this week’s post with a disclaimer. ![]() |
