ktempest: I Challenge You To Stop Reading White, Straight, Cis Male Authors For One YearThe “Reading Only X Writers For A Year” a challenge is one every person who loves to read (and who loves to write) should take. You could, like Lilit Marcus, read only books by women or, like Sunili Govinnage, read only books by people of color. Or you could choose a different axis to focus on: books by trans men and women, books by people from outside the US or in translation, books by people with disabilities. After a year of that, the next challenge would be to seek out books about or with characters that represent a marginalized identity or experience by any author. In addition to the identities listed above, I suggest: non-Christian religions or faiths, working class or poor, and asexual (as a start). This article by my friend K. T. Bradford for XOJane seems to have attracted a silly amount of controversy, and unfortunately, hatemail. I have certainly done versions of this Challenge myself in previous years, more than once. Which is how/why I have so much to say and post for Fiction Weeks here at Medievalpoc. All this is about is making thoughtful choices about what you read. It’s about diversifying your own empathetic capabilities. Instead, a rather ridiculous bunch of people seemed to take this as “Gaiman hate”, which is of course, absurd. Especially considering Gaiman’s response: Pretending that grabbing books at random is somehow “more fair” than actually making thoughtful choices about the books you read not only ignores systemic inequality in the publishing world, it’s silly. We all choose books to read for reasons. A challenge to read, say, only women authors, only disabled authors, only authors of color, for a limited time is a fantastic way to discover new and fascinating worlds and perspectives.

Wide landscapes are one of my many photographic pursuits. Getting high up on a remote backcountry ridge, miles from the next closest human is usually a good photo. It’s hard to argue with hundreds of square miles of un-molested ground. When ever I travel back east, I have trouble finding 50 square feet of ground that hasn’t been effected by man’s machinations. Cleared ground is the rule here not the rare exception. The population density of this 128 square mile zip code is 124 voters last I heard. That’s one voter per square mile on average lololol.
I am standing in Montana for this image shooting across the border.. Wyoming Skies over Montana ground. This is many miles from the nearest ranch house. Not many have ever seen this view but myself, a few other ranchers maybe, and you. Ranchers don’t do a lot of sight seeing up in this country. If they do, it is a by product of course of looking for loner steers and cows out on the range. These are BIG pastures up here. Several square miles of pasture ground is not unusual to have a fence around.
Some nights out I drive for a few hours from place to place, roost to higher roost. Five miles travel as the bird flies can be 10 miles by land. There are no asphalt roads up here. Maintained gravel is the country road system, State roads are concrete and asphalt. The closest asphalt to this location is about 15 miles. Its’ a long way via two track roads to make it there. The country roads are a much faster way to travel. There are 10’s of thousands of miles on two track roads in backcountry Wyoming. Matched only by the number of miles of roads UNDERGROUND in all the deep

Title: Perspective Wounded Tree
The second day of beautiful weather. It's just so nice to get out into the air. I wish I was more adventurous with this one, but I'm just out of energy today.
On the plus side, I've almost made it through tech week! We go into previews and get our first audience tomorrow. :) Then maybe, just maybe, I get a little bit of life back.
