"Struggling with this one.... Hard sci-fi, traditional, life on a space ship, cultural & political clashes, different sapient life. Realising that though I've enjoyed many sci-fi films & TV shows, Star Wars, The Expanse, Battlestar Galactica, Firefly I've never read anything in that vain. The sci I've explored in the past has been Ursula Le Guin or distopian futures... This is different. Will maybe pick it up later." — Jan 26, 2021 01:50PM

“Those of us who stand outside the circle of this society's definition of acceptable women; those of us who have been forged in the crucibles of difference - those of us who are poor, who are lesbians, who are black, who are older - know that survival is not an academic skill...For the master's tools will not dismantle the master's house. They will never allow us to bring about genuine change.”
