Changing the Map: Three Signs That You Have Wandered into a Feminist Dystopia
Dystopias have been a part of the map since the start of the 20th century – a grim set of countries and worlds lying under a gray fog, ready to remind us of our potential follies. If utopias are our dreams, dystopias are our nightmare realms. Regular dystopian fiction focuses on the Everyman. If a feminist utopia imagines a…

Good afternoon, friends and readers! Here in the Kingdom of Undisclosed Location, spring has fully sprung. This means that the air is filled with poisonous, soul-sucking pollen.

It’s the weekend once again! What are you up to? If it were up to me, I’d be traveling. However, due to a number of circumstances, one of which being another batch of snow, I’m staying in. So I’m heading out on a virtual, fictional vacation. Where are you heading this weekend? Ankh-Morpork can be … interesting, this time of…
