Just finished "To a Darker Shore" by Leanne Schwartz. It's a blend of fantasy (a genre I enjoyed a lot when younger but which I now feel is hit-or-miss depending on the politics of the author) and romance (a genre I'm currently a bit obsessed with) and I enjoyed it very much. The element of an #OwnVoices autistic perspective was interesting, and the mythology was pretty cool. Even though I felt as though monstrousness could have been explored from an even better angle, the complexity in this book was comfortable, and it to my mind successfully-enough avoided the veneer of racism that runs through the mainstream fantasy tradition.

"Twelve years after “As We May Think”, and simultaneous with the developments of the IBM 1401 and FORTRAN, copies of “Datamation” started popping up on selected newsstands. This magazine was the godfather of all programming magazines, and held its crown for 41 years (quite a few ages in computer time!), until being phased out as an online magazine in February 1998."

masks at protests / demographics
Interestingly, at the May Day gathering I was the only one in a mask.
Thinking about the contrast with the trans protest the other week, where "good" (fitted not floppy) masks were dotted about throughout the crowd, and felt normalised.
Today's march was a less crowded event than the trans protest, so pretty low-risk for covid transmission anyway. But then when we got to the mini-fair after the march, indoors at the Friends' Meeting House, I didn't see anyone masking indoors either.
I wonder about the demographics of that difference. Seems like there's a traditional union/Labour left who share the mainstream denial of present-day covid, and a statistically more disabled & marginalised cohort where trans awareness and disability/illness awareness overlap.

When was the first middle-finger used to denote contempt in a (mainstream) film? I don't know but there is an instance of it in Sergio Leone's 1971 Giù la testa (Duck, You Sucker / A Fistful of Dynamite).
This was perpetrated by Rod Steiger. In this film he and James Coburn also make a solid case that Keanu Reeves' accent in Bram Stoker's Dracula was not even close to being the worst in film history.

"The one thing that can stop the rise of the far right is the one thing mainstream parties are currently not prepared to deliver: greater equality. The rich should be taxed more, and the revenue used to improve the lives of the poor. However frantically centrist parties avoid the issue, there is no other way."
