In the United States, it’s Denver Santa Fe, N.M. And, by 2072 they are already migrating-inward and upward. ![]() Some Black Americans have found one potential silver lining in all those disparities: fewer economic and social ties to cut when the rising water forces a move. The small and nearly all-white billionaire class has the resources for joy rides beyond earth’s atmosphere, but hasn’t resolved a litany of major terrestrial social, civil, physical, and economic challenges.Īs sea levels in places like Southeast Florida have risen nearly two feet upward on the measuring stick from where they were in 2019, white Americans have remained more likely to own homes and be made whole by insurance and government aid when disasters hit. ![]() A substantial portion of the nation’s diverse workforce is poised to be replaced by robots. White America has aged, and has shrunk in number and size, while other fast-growing demographic groups are still not served well by the economy or included without friction in American representative democracy. ![]() It is a reality rooted in rollbacks of social-inclusion measures and voting-rights protections-changes that took place even though, more than a decade ago, people of color became America’s supermajority, comprising nearly 60% of the entire population. ![]() 5/28/2023 0 Comments Alyssa cole when no one![]() Have you seen your own neighborhood change? This book is an exploration of how maddening it can be to discover injustice and feel that no one will believe you - or if they do believe you, they won't care, which is the reality of Black people and most marginalized groups in America. It's only from the hard work of people fighting against the forces of greed and white supremacy that was laid into the foundation of America. As I researched, it became apparent to me that if the arc of the moral universe does bend toward justice, that isn't its natural inclination. Alyssa Cole: When No One Is Watching is inspired by the real-life gentrification I witnessed over a lifetime in NYC and New Jersey, and also by the extensive historical research I've done over the last decade - first for personal reasons and then for my historical romances, which are set in eras ranging from the Battle of Brooklyn to the Freedom Rides. ![]() 5/27/2023 0 Comments Passing strange by ellen klages![]() ![]() The bulk of Passing Strange is the love story between two women in a time when it was prohibited to love and be if you weren't cis het. The city of San Francisco itself takes on hints of a magical city, through the fair or the theme of looking like, dressing, and being, in a game of mirrors reflecting themselves with slight distortions, or in going behind the curtain.īut, as I said, if you come to Passing Strange for the fantasy, you may end up disappointed, because even if it's done beautifully, it is as light as a pastel colour. There's also a hint at mirror universes, and maybe our characters already are in a mirror universe. There's for instance, the ability to fold space as if an origami folding, though it may be, after all, science even if we don't have the science yet to explain how it happens. It is in passing but it is beautifully creative. ![]() Quite honestly, the fantasy aspect isn't in your face at all. ![]() "All right," will you tell me, "But where is the fantasy aspect in there?" The story soon takes us back to the 1940s where we find out that Helen was a friend of Haskell and of a small group of lesbians in San Francisco at a time when discriminatory laws still existed. The story begins as Helen Young, a dying old woman, goes to sell a famous artwork by Haskell, a mysterious artist from the 1940s who was well known in some specialised circles for creating covers for pulp genre magazines. ![]() 5/27/2023 0 Comments Need you now book mika jolie![]() ![]() When she’s not writing swoon-worthy, sexy relatable romance, you can find her on a hiking adventure, beachin’ it at the Jersey shore, apple, blueberry picking, or whatever her three men can conjure up. ![]() Access a growing selection of included Audible Originals, audiobooks and podcasts. ![]() She’s a lover of words, wonder, an old-fashioned, and the whimsical delights of everyday living.

The Midwich Cuckoos (Original Score) by Hannah Peel These all lend it that folk horror weight that also comes across in Peel’s score, especially on Cuckoo on which she balances the light and dark beautifully. ![]() In the book at least, the folklore elements are there – the utopian English village, fertility symbols such as the triangular green, ornamented by five fine elms (often associated with the underworld), The Grange’s research centre (messing with nature), the sleeping village (enchantment) and the supernatural abilities of the children. It’s not surprising that many align The Midwich Cuckoos more with folk horror than your typical sci-fi drama. Soon after the book’s publication, it was made into a film (Village of the Damned, 1960) and later remade by John Carpenter in 1995.
