Just realized...

When you come to think of it playing music is technically a form of air bending via sound via air molecules vibrating, sculpting marble or clay is earth bending, fireworks are fire bending, and painting with watercolours is water bending. If you know how to do all of these you’re technically an avatar!

Old Futures: Speculative Fiction and Queer Possibility (Postmillennial Pop) (2018)

Old Futures explores the social, political, and cultural forces feminists, queer people, and people of color invoke when they dream up alternative futures as a way to imagine transforming the present. Lothian shows how queer possibilities emerge when we practice the art of speculation: of imagining things otherwise than they are and creating stories from that impulse. Queer theory offers creative ways to think about time, breaking with straight and narrow paths toward the future laid out for the reproductive family, the law-abiding citizen, and the believer in markets. Yet so far it has rarely considered the possibility that, instead of a queer present reshaping the ways we relate to past and future, the futures imagined in the past can lead us to queer the present.

Narratives of possible futures provide frameworks through which we understand our present, but the discourse of “the” future has never been a singular one. Imagined futures have often been central to the creation and maintenance of imperial domination and technological modernity; Old Futures offers a counterhistory of works that have sought––with varying degrees of success––to speculate otherwise. Examining speculative texts from the 1890s to the 2010s, from Samuel R. Delany to Sense8, Lothian considers the ways in which early feminist utopias and dystopias, Afrofuturist fiction, and queer science fiction media have insisted that the future can and must deviate from dominant narratives of global annihilation or highly restrictive hopes for redemption.

Do you believe that if Great Thunberg were a poor non-white person like Vandana Shiva, Berta Cáceres, Rigoberta Menchú and not a economically well-off white European the media would be parading her non-stop? Hmm
