Hartman wayward lives5/29/2023 ![]() Longing and desire fueled their experiments in how to live. They cleaved to and cast off lovers, exchanged sex to subsist, and revised the meaning of marriage. In wrestling with the question of what a free life is, many young black women created forms of intimacy and kinship that were indifferent to the dictates of respectability and outside the bounds of law. Hartman narrates the story of this radical social transformation against the grain of the prevailing century-old argument about the crisis of the black family. ![]() Free love, common-law and transient marriages, serial partners, cohabitation outside of wedlock, queer relations, and single motherhood were among the sweeping changes that altered the character of everyday life and challenged traditional Victorian beliefs about courtship, love, and marriage. ![]() In Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments, Saidiya Hartman examines the revolution of black intimate life that unfolded in Philadelphia and New York at the beginning of the twentieth century. A breathtaking exploration of the lives of young black women in the early twentieth century. ![]()

Song of the water boatman5/29/2023 ![]() Ĭorixidae are unusual among the aquatic Hemiptera in that some species are non-predatory, feeding on aquatic plants and algae instead of insects and other small animals. It is easy to tell the two types of insects apart simply by looking at the swimming position. Unlike their relatives the backswimmers ( Notonectidae), who swim upside down, Corixidae swim right side up. Water boatman active under the ice in March at Glenmore Reservoir, Calgary, Alberta Corixidae dwell in slow rivers and ponds, as well as some household pools. They also have a triangular head with short, triangular mouthparts. Their four hindmost legs have scoop- or oar-shaped tarsi to aid swimming. The forelegs are covered with hairs and shaped like oars, hence the name "water boatman". They tend to have four long rear legs and two short front ones. Many have extremely fine dark brown or black striations marking the wings. Morphology and ecology Ĭorixidae generally have a long flattened body ranging from 2.5 to 15 mm (0.1–0.6 in) long. Corixa punctata is the "lesser water boatman". ![]() Members of the Corixidae are commonly known as water boatmen, a term that is sometimes used in the United Kingdom for Notonecta glauca, an insect of a different family, Notonectidae. ![]() There are about 500 known species worldwide, in 55 genera, including the genus Sigara. They are found worldwide in virtually any freshwater habitat and a few species live in saline water.

The franchise encompasses a 3-volume manga, nine feature films (one of them being a spliced-together, short-lived TV drama released as a feature), and some additional media and merchandise. As the series goes on, the full extent of Tomie’s mysterious powers are unveiled, and it eventually turns out that with every death, duplicates begin to appear. But the problem is that not even death can bring her down. It becomes evident that Tomie is an incredibly unpleasant person who seems to exist only to torment others. ![]() Structured as an anthology, the manga revolves around the unnaturally beautiful Tomie as she starts a new life in one city after another, influencing new people, making new friends. ![]() Tomie is a horror manga by Junji Ito that predates the well-known Uzumaki and The Enigma of Amigara Fault, which follows the titular woman and how her presence affects those around her, especially men. ![]() Wheel of time book eye of the world5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Gusts plastered Rand al'Thor's cloak to his back, whipped the earthcolored wool around his legs, then streamed it out behind him. For all that spring should have come a good month since, the wind carried an icy chill as if it would rather bear snow. Down it flailed into the Two Rivers, into the tangled forest called the Westwood, and beat at two men walking with a cart and horse down the rockstrewn track called the Quarry Road. But it was a beginning.īorn below the ever cloudcapped peaks that gave the mountains their name, the wind blew east, out across the Sand Hills, once the shore of a great ocean, before the Breaking of the World. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose in the Mountains of Mist. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. ![]() Fake law by the secret barrister5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() In Fake Law, the Secret Barrister debunks the lies and builds an hilarious, alarming and eye-opening defence against the abuse of our law, our rights and our democracy. Thankfully, the Secret Barrister is back to reveal the stupidity, malice and incompetence behind many of the biggest legal stories of recent years. ![]() This 'fake law' allows the powerful and the ignorant to corrupt justice without our knowledge – worse, we risk letting them make us complicit. Our unfamiliarity is dangerous because it makes us vulnerable to media spin, political lies and the kind of misinformation that frequently comes from loud-mouthed amateurs and those with vested interests. But the law touches every area of our lives: from intimate family matters to the biggest issues in our society. ![]() Most of us think the law is only relevant to criminals, if we even think of it at all. Could the courts really order the death of your innocent baby? Was there an illegal immigrant who couldn't be deported because he had a pet cat? Are unelected judges truly enemies of the people? ![]() ![]() ![]() Since the film was developed before the novel was released, it has been expected that the Hunger Games prequel movie will stay very close to the source material. Although this is a new addition to the movie franchise, the story is familiar to those who read Suzanne Collins' book of the same name. Lionsgate debuted the first look at the movie by releasing The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes trailer online in April. Their unexpected relationship has a lasting impact on Snow, making the origin story a vital part of how he becomes President of Panem and a villain. The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes turns the focus to a young Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth) and District 12's female tribute for the 10th Hunger Games, Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler). Nearly a decade after the movie franchise wrapped up Katniss Everdeen's story, the Hunger Games series returns to the big screen with a prequel set over 60 years before. The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes trailer included several huge moments that tease major plot points and revelations from the book. ![]() Twelfth by janet key5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() For Maren, a camp with overly excited and borderline obnoxious kids is not her thing it's the opposite to her preference for not standing out in the crowd. Twelfth introduces us to Maren, the twelve-year-old kid who unwillingly joins a theatre camp since her parents hope that she will be more open and cheerful like her artsy older sister Hadley. It's a mildly heavier topic for a middle-grade novel, yet it is actually a timely discussion for pre-teens who are already in the age of exploring their identity and passion. ![]() My expectation of Twelfth is about a silly treasure hunt around a theatre camp, but what I received was a story of people finding their lanes without the pressure of becoming someone else. Trigger warnings: antisemitism (mentioned), anxiety (mentioned), arson, domestic abuse (mentioned), fire, homophobia, kidnapping, misgendering, transphobia. Thank you, Janet Key, Little Brown Books, and TBR Beyond Tours for giving me a digital advanced copy of Twelfth in exchange for an honest review. ![]() But after living the life I got to live? Just goes to show you, I was dreaming too small." "You know, when I was your age, this would have been exactly my dream cone true. ![]() Vanessa bohns book5/28/2023 ![]() Bohns and her work demonstrate that people see us, listen to us, and agree to do things for us much more than we realize - for better, and worse. Whether attending a meeting, sharing a post online, or mustering the nerve to ask for a favor, we often assume our actions, input, and requests will be overlooked or rejected. Weaving together compelling stories with cutting-edge science, Bohns answers the questions we all want to know (but may be afraid to ask): How much did she take to heart what I said earlier? Do they know they can push back on my suggestions? Did he notice whether I was there today? Will they agree to help me if I ask? In You Have More Influence Than You Think, social psychologist Vanessa Bohns draws from her original research to illustrate why we fail to recognize the influence we have, and how that lack of awareness can lead us to miss opportunities or accidentally misuse our power. Those feelings may instead have been the result of a lack of awareness we all seem to have for how our words, actions, and even our mere presence affect other people. If you’ve ever felt ineffective, invisible, or inarticulate, chances are you weren’t actually any of those things. An original investigation of our hidden power to persuade, and how to wield it wisely. ![]() AuthorWrite something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview. ArchivesCategories |
