I watched my own family grapple in recent years with meanings of gender when my niece came out as trans. As Trump leads a top-down assault against trans people, we are also witnessing a wider cultural awareness of trans people and their issues, undoubtedly driven by a mix of activism, media representation, and personal encounters. Much like the struggle for gay and lesbian rights in recent years, the struggle for trans acceptance and rights has greatly intensified, resulting in some limited progress during the Obama years and horrific backlash under Trump. So much has changed-for both better and worse, since progress is not linear-in the years after Susan Stryker’s Transgender History: The Roots of Today’s Revolution was first published in 2008.

I guess I wasn’t entirely disappointed with this in the end and I’d gladly read two, three, or four more books about them because I’M HOOKED. However, I was told that this reminded people of The Cruel Prince by Holly Black except in the NA genre, and immediately I decided to just give it a chance. The characters sounded like they were in a toxic relationship, the main guy seemed like a huge asshole, and it didn’t appeal to me. Heck, it’s not even your typical New Adult novel. The reason why is because this isn’t your typical romance novel. To be honest, when I first read the synopsis, I was not interested in reading this.

Even if all you’re up to is wet wipes and hand sanitiser, take a moment to thank her for making cleaning that bit easier Dedicate personal hygiene tasks to Hygeia this can be mentally saluting her when you brush your teeth, or maybe muttering thanks in the shower.Don’t beat yourself up over not doing rituals or offerings, it’s ok to stop altogether if you need to, but if you feel you need to do something for the gods but can’t manage anything extra, my advice is to include a devotional aspect to what you can manage: Now, if you’re like me during these periods you still feel guilty for not being able to continue with your religious practice as normal. Sometimes everything is difficult, your energy levels are at a minimum and simply existing is all you can manage. I can’t speak for all disorders and this is mainly with mental illness rather than physical illness in mind, since I and reasonably able bodied, so feel free to add your own ideas. So I thought I would compile a list of simple acts of worship that one can do: one list for low spoons days, and another for those days when even that is too much. If you’re anything like me, there are times when keeping up with devotions is just too much and I have to cut corners and simplify things if I manage them at all. Low Spoons and No Spoons Worship for HellenicsĪs many of my followers will probably have guessed, I’m living with mental illness and I know a lot of you out there are too.

Three years since anyone has seen Gotham City's guardian alive. It's been three years since the Batman defeated Lex Luthor and saved the world from tyranny. Now, three decades after BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, Miller himself has returned with a third chapter to his groundbreaking saga. In 1986, Frank Miller introduced his iconic take on Batman and changed the face of comics forever. Finally the last entry in Frank Miller's acclaimed Dark Knight trilogy is published in deluxe Absolute edition format! I also discuss a fairly cryptic short story, “Cathedral Station,” that envisions “the mystery of money.” Utilizing Walter Benjamin’s critique issued in his 1921 fragment “Capitalism as Religion,” I outline Ende’s dystopian vision of the uncontested, unquestioned reign of capitalism as a religious cult. In an effort to demonstrate the process and the line of reasoning behind the monetization of time, and to connect time to more qualitative considerations of the human condition, I shall demonstrate how Ende conceptualizes time as an integral part of the accumulation process of capitalism. This article explores how neoliberalism is shaping our concept of time and our experience of it. One such far-reaching and dangerous change has to do with a diminishing of temporal autonomy, the ability to freely determine the use and meaning of our time. Michael Ende, the well-known author of The Neverending Story, foresaw dramatic changes in the fabric of society resulting from a turn toward neoliberal policies. |
