The Golden Star Teachers!! I'm sorry I'm not as good at it!!! A sweet treat indeed, it turned him into everyone's favorite French ham- Bijou! This is also my first transformation piece that I did entirely by myself. More artwork of Shyam from Runaway to the Stars. Shyam was born in microgravity and cared for by her three parents in a bilingual space station port city.
Most of the working population there were other tailed spacers mostly hailing from the English speaking space polity Jovia , and typ human workers from Naya Pradesh, the terraformed planet below mostly Hindi speakers. Shyam now lives alone on Naya Pradesh, mostly isolated from her family and other tailed spacers. Unlike them, she has to deal with gravity all the time, which is mostly a foot issue-- tailers were engineered for maneuverability in zero-g, walking and standing bipedally on their short legs and thumbed soles wears them out much quicker than a typ human.
She spends most of her time repairing heavy machinery and machining custom parts in her workshop on the edge of the space elevator hub city of Naya Pradesh. Info dump on the history of tailed spacers as genetically engineered humans under the cut:.
Tailed Spacers aka. Generally, referring to GMH as the non-human animal they most closely resemble is considered rude. It expresses much more uniformly over their body than melanin in a typ human, and can even be found lining their organs. Their skin tone ranges from dark red to near-black depending on the amount of eumelanin black-brown they have in addition to selenomelanin, and their hair and fur ranges in color between strawberry blond to red to black. Tailed spacers also have genes that help prevent muscle and bone density loss from life in microgravity Tailed spacers are a unisex clade, functionally meaning they are born with both sets of equipment and internal gonads that can make both kind of gamete.
But so is the clear web. If the Internet were to vanish tomorrow, the bad things would carry on happening. In response, people set up websites claiming to be hitmen and presumably some fools actually send those people money.
If someone falls for that, what are they going to do? Gehl: The Torist actually joins a host of other sites and services that challenge the dominant media narrative that the Dark Web is only useful to criminals and terrorists.
Brady: There are lots of ways to go about trying to change how people think. Why attempt it through a literature magazine? GMH: I am a writer. I do have a background in literature and I am a reader. I guess this makes a lit mag the format I know most about. I figured it would be easier to tap into those networks with my real name and recruit potential contributors.
GMH set up an anonymous submission system, working multiple social networking sites to spread the word. Brady: Who are your ideal contributors? And who do you want to read your magazine? GMH: We were careful to sketch out broad contours when drafting our statements.
So, while a large part of our readership and contributor-base is going to be people interested in encryption phenomena, we want breadth as well. The same goes for our readership: we want to reach people who are already invested in digital rights, as well as people who are not, have yet to become interested, and maybe those who have some negative preconceptions about online anonymity so as to challenge them.
Brady: What social role do you think literary magazines have played, and do you think The Torist is changing that role? Zines are often used to give voice to specific communities or niches. One recent example is the journal Vetch which specializes in poetry and poetics by transgender writers, and which I highly recommend.
Zooming in on a specific community is just what zines do. Brady: You published The Torist under a Creative Commons license, so whoever finds it is free to distribute it. Why did you use this kind of copyright? Rather than contributing to that system, we use Creative Commons to signal to others that they are free to share The Torist with others and even use the content contained to make new creative works.
