Mathematicians of the African Diaspora

www.math.buffalo.edu/mad/index.html

In Mathematics, more than any other field of study, have we heard proclamations and statements similar to, "The Negro is incapable of succeeding." Ancient and present achievements contradict such statements. One of the purposes of this website is to exhibit the inaccuracy of those proclamations by exhibiting the accomplishments of the peoples of Africa and the African Diaspora within the Mathematical Sciences.

The Strange Case of Starship Iris | Procyon Podcasts

www.procyonpodcastnetwork.com/tscosi

In 2189, Earth narrowly won a war against extraterrestrials, but at a tremendous price. Two years later, in a distant patch of space, a mysterious explosion kills nearly the entire crew of the science vessel Starship Iris. The only survivor is Violet Liu, an intrepid, sarcastic, terrified biologist. But as Violet struggles to readjust to life after the Iris, questions abound. Was that explosion really an accident? If not, just what is going on? And why does every answer seem to get more bizarre and more dangerous? If Violet and her newfound allies want to untangle the truth, they'll need courage, brilliance, and luck - and honestly, a couple of drinks.

Castle Swimmer

www.webtoons.com/en/fantasy/castle-swimmer/list?title_no=1499

What happens when your entire life is ruled by a prophecy – your future foretold by people you’ve never met, who died long before you were born. Such is the story of two young sea creatures. One believed to be a guiding light for his people, a Beacon who will lead them to a bright, prosperous future. The other is a teenage prince for who’s destiny is to KILL the Beacon so that HIS own people might thrive. When both reject the course set for them, it leads to a raucous adventure as big and unpredictable as the ocean itself – and a romance that nobody could have predicted.

Science Fiction versus Real Names — jsreed5.org

portal.mozz.us/gemini/jsreed5.org/log/2022/202201/20220106-science-fiction-versus-real-names.gmi

It's often pointed out that many of the devices in 19th- and 20th-century science fiction are now a reality. We have instant telecommunication devices; we have digital newspapers; we have flying machines; we have automatons that build things for us; we have self-driving quadricycles; we have superfood that survives wild climatic variation and is stuffed with nutrients. We even have ways of obliquely planting ideas directly in people's minds, through propaganda in the press and psychological manipulations in advertising.

If we have all these things, why doesn't the world feel like what we imagine science fiction worlds to feel like? There are many reasons for this, but I'm just going to focus on one aspect here: naming.

I'm Orientation Critical

old.reddit.com/r/GenderCynical/comments/7toiry/im_orientation_critical

Like most of you, the doubts began when I saw how quick libfems were to demonize anyone with opposing views. "Don't listen to him, he's a homophobe!" "You don't want to talk to her, she's a bigot!" What secrets do those libfems slur as "homophobes" hold that libfems are so desperate for us not to hear? So I began to dig deeper. I wanted to know more.

On Hating Men (And Becoming One Anyway)

thenewinquiry.com/on-hating-men-and-becoming-one-anyway

A lot of people conceptualize transmasculinity as “wanting to be a man” rather than simply being (or inevitably becoming) one. This was not true for me, at least not always. Transition was an urge, a need, but what I wanted was just to be content as a woman.
