#BlackPanther

By Ryan Coogler, 2023

"Black Panther is a #solarpunk, #afrofuturist superhero film that helps spark discussions about three aspects of climate literacy: access to #NaturalResources, especially #RareEarthMetals like the fictional vibranium; the interconnectedness of #RacialJustice and #ClimateJustice, including one’s responsibilities to other people and nations across the globe; and the role of #GreenTechnology, including urban design, to create a #sustainable, just, and #ecological civilization."

The album cover of 𝐌𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐨 𝐂ó𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐨 𝐛𝐲 𝐒𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐝𝐨 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨 𝐍𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐨 bursts with vibrant symbolism. Set on a radiant yellow backdrop, turquoise illustrations merge ancient Mesoamerican mythology with cosmic futurism. A large alien head hovers above a geometric human face with three eyes, connected by sacred geometry lines. On the left, a figure resembling Thoth or an Aztec scribe holds a serpent, while on the right, a goddess-like being with antennae lifts two circular discs like vinyl records or cosmic portals. A pyramid at the bottom is flanked by flying saucers, while planets, flowers, and energy patterns orbit the scene. The artwork fuses cumbia psychedelia, mysticism, and retro sci-fi in a bold visual language that mirrors the band’s cosmic sound.

Can we pull this utopia dilemma together? Or will we add even more levels of complication? When we wrestle with Le Guin, take solace knowing that others have, too, and so we enter into the dialogue of building utopia, together with its responsibilities!

Album cover for 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨-𝐆𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐛𝐲 𝐘𝐮𝐠𝐞𝐧 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐤𝐫𝐨𝐤, featuring a powerful illustrated warrior woman in a futuristic, mystical style. She is dressed in dark, tattered clothing with a red scarf and braided hair tied with blades, sitting cross-legged on a torn red banner that swirls dramatically around her. She has an intense, focused expression, arms crossed in front of her chest while swords are strapped to her back. The background is textured with earthy tones and a glowing light at the bottom, creating a cosmic yet ancient atmosphere.

Welcome to my weekly Author Spotlight. I’ve asked a bunch of my author friends to answer a set of interview questions, and to share their latest work.

Today: I may just be the dirty oldest man of gay romance: After an award-winning career in news editing, I retired as managing editor of a legal news magazine in 2018. It may seem like, in the ensuing years, I turned from nonfiction to fiction, and not just any genre, but ...

'It goes back to the “heaven is here” thing. When we manifest this thing, then how beautiful would it be to be able to sit back and watch as people carry on in the work, and catch the vision, so to speak, and embody the great thing that you’ve spilled your life for? Find what you love and let it kill you.'
