Has anyone created as many iconic images as Richard Avedon? The late photographer took photo after photo that would leave an indelible mark on photographic history over the course of his 81-year lifetime, from the majestic Dovima with Elephants to his portraits of Marilyn Monroe looking both at her most glamorous and most exposed. ![]()

![]() ![]() By understanding this intersection, people can better understand the origins and the effects of transmisogyny. Thus, someone who holds both the identity of trans and womanhood/femininity is affected by these oppressions simultaneously. While transphobia and misogyny impact many people’s lives, these oppressions compound and join together. By coining transmisogyny, Serano recognizes intersectionality. Serano proposes that transmisogyny is based on the assumption that femininity is worth less than masculinity, and that femaleness exists in the service of maleness (Serano 2017). Transmisogyny was coined by Julia Serano, author of Whipping Girl and trans activist ( Sojka 2017 ). Thus, transmisogyny works to portray trans women and transfeminine people as less than, questions and devalues their gender identity, and sexualizes their femininity ( Sojka 2017 ). However, it also affects trans and nonbinary folks who may be perceived as feminine (Kacere 2018). Transmisogyny primarily affects trans women and transfeminine people ( Sojka 2017 ). Misogyny is the hatred and devaluation of women and of femininity (Kacere 2018). ![]() ![]() Transphobia is the discrimination and oppression of trans people for their gender expression. Transmisogyny describes the intersecting oppressions and discriminations of transphobia and misogyny ( Sojka 2017 ). ![]() ![]() ![]() In this unflinchingly honest memoir, Jed narrates his adventure-the people and places he encountered on his way to the bottom of the world-as well as the internal journey that started it all. He chronicled the trip on Instagram, where his photos and reflections drew hundreds of thousands of followers, all gathered around the question: What makes a life worth living? On the eve of turning thirty, terrified of being funneled into a life he didn’t choose, Jedidiah Jenkins quit his dream job and spent sixteen months cycling from Oregon to Patagonia. ![]() “With winning candor, Jedidiah Jenkins takes us with him as he bicycles across two continents and delves deeply into his own beautiful heart.” -Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild and Tiny Beautiful Things. ![]() ![]() ![]() Moreover, the usage of the word “Souls” is equally effective, since it suggests the unviewed spirit that represents the humane aspects of the black culture and heritage. Du Bois does not generalise, but instead specifically raises some points concerning the “Negro Problem” (719). In particular, the definite article “The” is not accidental and may insinuate the author’s insistence on specificity. Right from the start, the technique of colloquial English language divulges his intention to open up his argumentation in both the white and black audience. Through the title, The Souls of Black Folk, Du Bois devises an effective umbrella under which his arguments can easily be unfolded. A mixture of techniques is consequently employed, aiming to conceptualise the unconscious and familiarise the readers with what they find unfamiliar. This is the exact point African-Americans were subjected to, along with historical, cultural and political revelations. In these terms, Du Bois cautiously steps within the “Veil” of his racial segregation, a capitalized term he coins to help readers visualize the obscure barrier that separates the two worlds, and attempts to decipher the subliminal fluctuations of a blackness vastly treated as a flaw. Du Bois’s work The Souls of Black Folk (1903) attempts to capture the quintessential twentieth century problem “of the color-line” (713), that is the problem of racial belonging and identification. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The intensity of their emotions will make hearts flutter, then ache as evidence mounts that Ellie's and Jeremiah's ""perfect"" love exists in a deeply flawed society. Both voices convincingly describe the couple's love-at-first-sight meeting and the gradual building of their trust. ![]() A prologue intimates heartbreak to come thereafter, sequences alternate between Ellie's first-person narration and a third-person telling that focuses on Jeremiah. In this contemporary story about an interracial romance, she seems to slip effortlessly into the skins of both her main characters, Ellie, an upper-middle-class white girl who has just transferred to Percy, an elite New York City prep school, and Jeremiah, one of her few African American classmates, whose parents (a movie producer and a famous writer) have just separated. Once again, Woodson (I Hadn't Meant to Tell You This) handles delicate, even explosive subject matter with exceptional clarity, surety and depth. ![]() ![]() ![]() In terms of recovery, Sheff compares drug (methadone) versus drug-free (AA) routes toward achieving sobriety and eliminating relapses. He addresses the sciences of drug dependency, risk factors, the broken addiction-treatment system in place today and a family’s crucial role in prevention. Among the many precepts the author lists is a belief that the drugs themselves are a “symptom” and not the sole cause of an addiction. Sheff offers new, sustainable solutions to a problem that has reached epidemic levels in this country (nearly 1 in 10 Americans has a drug problem). This follow-up to that research defines the roots of addiction with clean, accessible language, examining the classic patterns of abuse from the first hit to full-blown dependence and from denial (“anosognosia”) to treatment and recovery. ![]() ![]() An enterprising treatise on drug abuse and addiction intervention.ĭuring the time when Sheff chronicled his son’s “hellish” heroin and methamphetamine addiction ( Beautiful Boy: A Father’s Journey Through His Son’s Addiction, 2008), his desperate attempts to gain a compassionate understanding of the nature of drug dependency educated him thoroughly. ![]() ![]() ![]() *Credence is a new adult standalone novel suitable for readers 18+.

Brief Summary of Book: Credence by Penelope Douglas ![]() ![]() Only some of the main character Sabine's flaws are intentional, the rest signify prejudiced attitudes and ideas that to this date have not been resolved by post-emancipation white settlers or their descendants. Not only does it present a completely false and warped idea of race relations on the island, but it does so in a very self-indulgent manner, as if to justify racism and colonial attitudes on the island. This snapshot however is on a purely superficial level, with fantastic imagery but nearly juvenile insight. ![]() ![]() I have given it two stars only for its offering of a rare snapshot of Trinidadian daily life before 1990. ![]() It frightens me that this novel could be nominated for an internationally recognized literary award. ![]() ![]() ![]() There’s twisted darkness but beauty in it, like the Gardener and his ‘butterflies’. This is a very dark book and somewhat fascinatingly so perhaps there’s a masochistic psychopath hiding in the deep dark depths of my inner soul, but I actually find myself really liking the book and couldn’t quite stop reading it. ![]() ![]() It is about a man who kidnaps teenage girls and locks them up in a beautiful garden where he rapes them, as well as put his mark on them – in the shape of a beautiful Butterfly tattoo on their backs. This popped up on my suggested readings in Amazon store – I don’t know why because it’s very dark and somewhat depressing, not my usual cup of tea. Today’s book review on The Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchison is slightly off the usual kind of books that I reach for and after reading it, I would say that it is definitely not for everyone. ![]() ![]() ![]() He said a half gallon of Vodka lasted him two days.

I looked at it and wondered, what the f*ck is this?īack to Friends, Lovers, & the Big Terrible Thing I tried that one time and looked at the results the following day. However, don’t even try serious writing, like copywriting. ![]() No hangovers, no wondering what the hell I did the night before. I smoked when I was 16 years old and still enjoy a righteous high now that I am 66. Not bad for allowing folks to do what they going to do anyway. ![]() That’s a cool $16,000,000 added to the state treasury. Maine did $160 million in sales in 2022, double the 2021 sales. Some others I wanted to try were Afternoon Delight, Comfortably Numb, and Scuba Steve (for obvious reasons).Īs I said, I bought mine at Brothers, but the other stores I saw with more creative names were High Supply Company, Highbrow Supplies, and KannaKraft. My nephew said he had some I could try later. ![]() |
