Care for Lightning

Uncanny Magazine ·

2025/01/07

Sure, she sent those heavenly snakes to slither into that hand-hewn crib, and slide along that baby’s skin.

Uncanny Magazine ·

2024/06/04

The world of the cyborgs has always belonged to the disabled, those of us who walk, roll, crutch, and dance our way along the line between man and machine. While Donna Hathaway, in her seminal essay “A Cyborg Manifesto,” defined cyborgs as an intensely feminist concept, transcending mundane, mid-20th-century concepts of gender (and interestingly, of […] The post “Almost Human”: The Borg as a Metaphor for Societal Ableism appeared first on Uncanny Magazine.

Hands Like Gold and Starlight

Uncanny Magazine ·

2024/06/04

Author’s Note: I’ve taken liberties here somewhat with both place and time so that the rise of Martha’s Vineyard as a safe place to travel for Black Americans intersects with the peak Deaf population of the island. Martha’s Vineyard Sign Language, which originated in the relatively isolated village of Chilmark, is distinct from American Sign […] The post Hands Like Gold and Starlight appeared first on Uncanny Magazine.

My Vengeance of Light Bears Witness from a Mountain View

Uncanny Magazine ·

Seven of Nine Is a Third-Culture Kid

Uncanny Magazine ·

2024/06/04

Content Note: Racism Seven of Nine is a third-culture kid. Those of us who leave one country for another at an early age recognize the beats: You’re one person, a whole, unconflicted person with a whole, unconflicted family that belongs—until being literally assimilated as a child. You learn to adjust, but eventually—perhaps as a […] The post Seven of Nine Is a Third-Culture Kid appeared first on Uncanny Magazine.

I was a stranger inhabiting my […] The post Markets of the Otherworld appeared first on Uncanny Magazine.
