The closest thing to a home base they have is Six Points, located in the southern end of Chota Gulch, where Redhand rules his tribe. The inhabitants live in ramshackle huts and tents among the badly damaged buildings.
The Lightbearers are wandering disciples who teach peace and emphasize spiritual, mental and physical development. They follow the teaching of Shakti, a woman who traveled the Province healing and protecting the innocent in the years after the fall, and excel in martial arts and close combat techniques.
Currently they work to heal the population, defend fledgling towns and teach their philosophy of moderation and light. Lightbearers also excel in harnessing their mutations, and their highly trained fighters are some of the best in the Province. The Lightbearers are led by six Grandmasters called the Council, all of whom were selected by their predecessors for the position. They lead until they decide to step down. During the attack on the Monastery, the original home of the Lightbearers, four of the Grandmasters went missing.
At present Kim Jurr and Ryan Joshi preside over the council until new members are appointed. The Monastery, the original home of the Lightbearers, was a hospital before the fall. Shakti used the facilities to treat the sick and house new recruits to her cause, and finally attracted some doctors to the cause who wanted to continue treating the sick. The Techs want to preserve the knowledge and technology that existed before the fall and feel this is more important than past dedication to military forces.
After the Chota revolt, the few surviving Techs from Hoover Dam retreated to Dawson Hill, which was an industrial complex before the fall. They often provide technology and gear to other factions in exchange for protection. The Techs have a set series of ranks, but are not so tightly bound in their structures as Enforcers. A Tech must be at least a doctor to sit on the Congress of Science, their organized leadership.
All members of the Congress of Science are technically equal and all their votes count the same, but one member, usually the representative of the University, is chosen to act as Speaker, keeping the Congress in order. They set this school up for new recruits and to house their members. The area around the University actually has some newly paved streets, lamp posts and other luxuries uncommon in the current era.
Have you ever played Tabula Rasa and were maybe planning on playing again. Read our article on the history of Tabula Rasa. The Enforcers are the primary force of stability in the Grand Canyon Province and were formed from the remnants of the military and police forces left after the fall. The Enforcers once spent more time enforcing the laws and rules under the command of Alec Masters but since then have reverted to protecting settlements.
Camerlengo with Dilys E. Blum; With additional contributions by Sequoia Barnes, Darnell Sadie Alexander was an outstanding economic historian whose speeches relied heavily on her knowledge of European and American history. Prior to taking courses in European history at the University of Pennsylvania, Alexander studied the history of African Americans while a student at the M Street High School, which was established by Congress in November as one of the first public high schools for African American students its original name was the Preparatory High School for Negro Youth.
I was once invited to write a poem based on photographs of self-presentation housed at the International Center for Photography. One photograph stood out to me perhaps because of the verdant background, or because the subject, whom I perceived as a young Black woman, reminded me of someone I knew—an old friend, a long-departed family member, or some latent aspect of myself.

What Noise Against the Cane Finalist for the National Book Award for Poetry "Bailey invites us to see what twenty-first-century life is like for a young woman of the Black diaspora in the long wake of a history of slavery, brutality, and struggling for freedoms bodily and psychological. Learn More. Edited by Christian Wiman. Georgia O'Keeffe, Photographer. Road names and statues of men. From the physical to the metaphorical, the city is filled with reminders of masculine power.
And yet we rarely talk of the urban landscape as an active participant in gender inequality. That said, our built environments can still reflect patterns of gender-based discrimination. To imagine the city and its structures as neutral places where complicated human social relations are staged is to ignore the simple fact that people built these places.
And sexism is a deep-rooted norm. Hayden tore into the male power fantasies embodied in this celebrated urban form. They matter to me as a mother. She intuitively understands the message the city sends her: this place is not for you. Yet the city can be a place of great freedom. The anonymity of urban life breeds possibilities easily stifled in a claustrophobic small town or suburban enclave. Education, work, pleasure, politics: the city broadens our horizons and gives us choices our foremothers never had.
Despite its hostilities, it remains our best hope for radical change. This is the paradox that drove me to write a book, rather than a grad school essay. Feminist City: Claiming Space in a Man-Made World takes on fear, motherhood, friendship and activism, as well as the joys and perils of being alone — to show not only where our cities have failed, but to imagine what they could become.
During the Industrial Revolution, the populations of European cities and many others in the colonised world grew rapidly. They became flashpoints for moral panic about how gender norms were changing. At the other end of the spectrum, those who fell into grinding poverty or sex work were also in need of tight control, lest their failings infect others. Working women were blamed for the breakdown of the traditional family and its consequences: namely, men straying into gambling and alcohol addiction.
Even Friedrich Engels feared that women working outside the home was too great a disruption to society. Charles Dickens suggested that fallen women should be diverted to the colonies, where their low status could be ignored by the surplus of men in need of wives.
