So for folks who may be interested in checking out some lesbian fiction, I figured I’d share some of what I’ve read and what drew me in. Then I got a recommendation for some historical fiction that opened up my reading list considerably. I mean, I’ve known that lesbian fiction is out there, but in my mainline consumption of mostly sci-fi and fantasy fiction I hadn’t run into any on the regular and didn’t give it much thought, because well that’s what it’s like to be a minority in some aspect of society. The real takeaway for me is discovering lesbian fiction, regardless of the romance part. I’ve gotten so much joy from some of these books and I feel like it’s such a weird thing to be shamed for, so I’ve decided to just go ahead and own it, and share with others. Romance books are the stereotypical realm of the middle-aged woman, and well I’m a shining stereotype I guess. I’ve been enjoying myself, but it also feels a bit like a dirty little secret. In the last year I’ve been reading a lot of lesbian fiction, mostly romance.
We can’t design a future where race and other hierarchical structures don’t matter in transportation unless we reckon with how they’re embedded in today’s unequal mobility landscape.īoth authors are saying, in essence, the same thing: embrace your infrastructure as you find it, and focus, instead, on the personal, cultural and social issues layered on top of it. We carry our identities and histories with us as we mobilize into public spaces like streets, and from within our individual bodies we transmit norms and new ideas. Culture, social networks, who we spend time with the relational nature of being social creatures plays a fundamental role in where we live, how we travel, who we value, and, crucially, how we transition to more sustainable lifestyles. My approach to changing street culture takes a step back from designing new street systems and focuses instead on the human infrastructure that shapes our current mobility. The development-based strategy sidesteps key questions about race, place, and mobility: Who decides what to build, who gets paid to build it, and who will frolic in those future streets? If the answers point to inequity, and they very often do, so will the fruits of the strategy. I disagree with this approach, both as an advocate for bicycling and as an anthropologist. When you embrace your sexuality precisely as it is right now, that’s the context that creates the greatest potential for ecstatic pleasure.įrom the introduction to Bicycle/Race: Transportation, Culture & Resistance, by way of explaining how focusing on building cycling infrastructure misses the mark: But I’ll give it away right now: It turns out what matters most is not the parts you are made of or how they are organized, but how you feel about those parts. Ob es dabei bleibt, ist allerdings unklar.”įrom the introduction to Come As You Are: The Surprising New Science that Will Transform Your Sex Life:Īnd finally, in Chapter 9, I describe the single most important thing you can do to improve your sex life. Es soll nach derzeitiger Planung ausschließlich konventionelle – das heißt nicht-atomare – Sprengköpfe transportieren. So arbeiten die USA bereits an einem neuen mobilen, bodengestützten Mittelstreckensystem, das in Zeiten des INF-Vertrags illegal gewesen wäre. Militärexperten rechnen damit, dass es nun zu einem neuen Rüstungswettlauf kommen könnte. Die USA hatten das Abkommen im Sommer mit Rückendeckung der NATO-Partner aufgelöst, weil sie davon ausgehen, dass Russland es seit Jahren mit einem Mittelstreckensystem namens 9M729 (NATO-Code: SSC-8) verletzt. Grund ist vor allem das Ende des INF-Vertrags zum Verzicht auf landgestützte atomwaffenfähige Mittelstreckensysteme. “Die Gefahr eines auch mit Atomwaffen geführten Krieges gilt derzeit als deutlich höher als in den vergangen drei Jahrzehnten. Genau für diesen Alptraum üben deutsche Kampfflieger gemeinsam mit Alliierten der NATO. “Es ist das schlimmste denkbare Szenario: ein atomarer Konflikt mitten in Europa.
