James Tiptree, Jr.

A source for a name.

A warmer collection.

The source for another pseudonym.

Another radical version of feminist sf.

Pheromones in another mammal.

They're just molecules.

Homages to more advanced (or "advanced") cultures we don't understand (yet): like a cargo cult.

Not just the sex drive, but the wish to escape.

"We are built to dream outwards."

"Girl" anticipated a cultural movement.

Who needs real bodies?

Anthony Van Dyck's Cupid and Psyche (1640). The story of Cupid and Psyche, adapted from Apuleius and retold by Thomas Bulfinch (1855).

Instinctive, arguably biological reactions of attraction and aversion.

"The Song of Hiawatha," entire, and in a sample from the first book.

Blake's peach thief.

A lot more William Blake.

Women and night time.

Time to leave this behind?

Leaving Earth, and leaving realism, behind in time and space.

Maybe we don't want to lose this sort of thing, or this either.

Ways, short and long-term, for representing time.

Alice Bradley's first husband, the poet and novelist William Davey ("green hill against sunrise" &c.) (via Greta Friar).

An acoustic homage to Tiptree's works.

Take me to the river.
