![]() ![]() Now, some twenty-odd years later, this book stands as both a classic and a still-revolutionary work-one that continues to push us gently but profoundly to the furthest borders of the gender frontier. Gender Outlaw was decades ahead of its time when it was first published in 1994. In other words, 'F your gender roles' MERCH: All proceeds from this tee benefit Amanda & the Outlaws, a queer Americana band based in San Diego, CA. ![]() But this particular coming-of-age story is also a provocative investigation into our notions of male and female, from a self-described nonbinary transfeminine diesel femme dyke who never stops questioning our cultural assumptions. Originally coined by Kate Bornstein, 'Gender Outlaw' has come to refer to a person who refuses to be defined by conventional definitions of male and female. On one level, Gender Outlaw details Bornstein’s transformation from heterosexual male to lesbian woman, from a one-time IBM salesperson to a playwright and performance artist. The trouble is, we’re living in a world that insists we be one or the other.” With these words, Kate Bornstein ushers readers on a funny, fearless, and wonderfully scenic journey across the terrains of gender and identity. and I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m probably not a woman, either. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() These were intelligent, informed senior citizens who had come along on this rainy (yet again, would it ever end?) morning to collect new and fascinating information at their local Community Matters Meeting. ![]() Most of the audience were elderly people, with lively, expectant faces.

She crossed her legs, tucked one foot behind her ankle, and sniffed. Well, not exactly an ordinary backyard, thought Erika. “An ordinary neighborhood barbecue in an ordinary backyard.” The microphone amplified and smoothed her voice, making it more authoritative, as if it had been photoshopped. “This is a story that begins with a barbecue,” said Clementine. ![]() ![]() ![]() She's pretty sure she didn't wish for a new sister, one who looks strangely familiar and claims to be the Sleeper's daughter, like her.Aru's biggest question, though, is why every adult she has loved and trusted so far has failed her.

When I arrived in early April, there were more than 20 people there to enjoy Salvation Mountain. ![]() I met the docent on duty, a man solely named Wolf, who said the temperatures around early April are typically at least in the mid-90s, if not hotter.

Knight’s message was clear, sprawled in big letters at the top center: “God is love.” It has no city officials or services and is often called “the last free place.” Salvation Mountain sits at the entrance of Slab City, an unincorporated community of concrete slabs left over from a World War II Marine base.

On the way, I marveled at the Salton Sea, filled with water thanks to a rainy spring. ![]() The trek was a three-hour drive from Los Angeles, and even Joshua Tree campers must carve out two hours to make it to Niland, California. Visiting Salvation Mountain is a pilgrimage, even for those in nearby desert cities like Indio and Palm Springs. ![]() ![]() Today, Wollstonecraft is regarded as one of the founding feminist philosophers, and feminists often cite both her life and her works as important influences. Until the late 20th century, Wollstonecraft’s life, which encompassed several unconventional personal relationships at the time, received more attention than her writing. Mary Wollstonecraft (27 April 1759 – 10 September 1797) was an English writer, philosopher, and advocate of women’s rights. ![]() Her work is viewed by many as one of the earliest works of feminist philosophy. Throughout her essay, Wollstonecraft maintains that women are human beings deserving of the same basic rights as men. Give, without scruples, a womans education to women, see to it that they love the cares of their sex, that they possess modesty, that they know how to grow. Wollstonecraft maintains that society will deteriorate without educated women, particularly because mothers are the principal educators of their children. Wollstonecraft argues that women should receive a rational education in order that they may have the opportunity to contribute positively to society. First published in 1792, “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman” was Mary Wollstonecraft’s response to eighteenth century educational and political theorists who believed in limiting a woman’s education. ![]() ![]() ![]() Into this slim volume, she squeezes love letters to her spouse, frankly discusses childhood abuse and neglect, and engages in discourse on Indigenous identity and mental illness.

![]() ![]() If you’ve seen Barker’s directorial debut then you’ll know the narrative already, Frank is a hedonist desperate to achieve heights of pleasure. This startling novella about lust, passion, greed, and hell was the story that would become Hellraiser. Barker weaves a wicked world that’s both dreamlike and terrifying, that’ll immerse and delight you, without ever letting you take a breath. Filled to the brim with treats, entertainment, and dreams coming true every single day, it seems too good to be true. Hood and his astonishing Holiday House, he can’t believe his luck. ![]() Harvey is tired of his life, wistful for something more exciting in the way that all children are. I’m starting this off with an unconventional choice as The Thief of Always is technically a children’s fable, though it’s a delightful read for dark fantasy fans of all ages. ![]() These are seven of my favorite Barker books, which are a great intro to some of his best known and most unforgettable works. With both of those beings headed back to the big screen in upcoming Hollywood reboots, it’s the perfect time to get familiar with Barker’s beautiful, haunting, and singular talent as a writer. Whilst those creations are worthy of note, Barker’s catalog is far more expansive than those two horror icons. Clive Barker is best known as the mind behind terrifying on-screen monsters like the Candyman and Pinhead from Hellraiser. ![]() |
