For fans of the original, Bornstein's new material merits a fresh read."-Publishers Weekly, starred review Cultural theorists have written loads of smart but difficult-to-fathom texts on gender theory, but most fail to provide a hands-on, accessible guide for those trying to sort out their own sexual identities. This revised and expanded edition extends that legacy, offering an accessible foundation for examining gender in the reader's life and in the broader culture while arguing for the dismantling of all forms of oppression. The original is a classic of modern transgender theory and literature and, alongside Bornstein's other work, has influenced an entire generation of trans writers and artists. ![]() "This updated edition of Bornstein's formative My Gender Workbook (1997) provides an invigorating introduction to contemporary theory around gender, sexuality, and power. ![]() Leviathan hobbes meaning5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Without government, Hobbes argued, humans would exist in what he called a “state of nature” where life is “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short”. What is the role of government according to Hobbes?īack in the mid-1600s, the philosopher Thomas Hobbes argued that the purpose of government is to maintain order. This belief stemmed from the central tenet of Hobbes’ natural philosophy that human beings are, at their core, selfish creatures. He argued this most forcefully in his landmark work, Leviathan. Throughout his life, Hobbes believed that the only true and correct form of government was the absolute monarchy. In Hobbes’s social contract, the many trade liberty for safety. His enduring contribution was as a political philosopher who justified wide-ranging government powers on the basis of the self-interested consent of citizens. Thus he advocates that all members of society submit to one absolute, central authority for the sake of maintaining the common peace. He holds that any form of ordered government is preferable to civil war. ![]() Hobbes believes that any such conflict leads to civil war.

He did not shed his thick Russian accent until the age of 14. Shteyngart immigrated to the United States in 1979 and was brought up in Queens, New York, with no television in the apartment in which he lived, where English was not the household language. When he was five, he wrote a 100-page comic novel. His father worked as an engineer in a LOMO camera factory his mother was a pianist.

The editor of the leftist magazine Puncto Final, Manuel Cabieses, has filed a formal petition accusing Edwards of violating the academy’s code of ethics by conspiring with the Nixon White House and the CIA between 19 to foment the military coup that overthrew the elected government of Salvador Allende and brought General Augusto Pinochet to power, thirty years ago this month. ![]() ![]() “For the better part of two years, a group of editors, journalism students, and human rights lawyers in Santiago, Chile, have been gathering evidence against their country’s leading media mogul, Agustín Edwards, to, at minimum, have him expelled from the press guild, the Academy of Chilean Journalists. ![]() 竹光侍 一 by Taiyo Matsumoto5/12/2023 ![]() ![]() Let's say the climax of bonus chapter slapped my mind. The fifth star on Volume 1 is due to author's effectively using bonus chapter at the end of the book. The strength of this manga is the stylish execution of the story. ![]() The first three volumes are for character introductions and slice-of-life theme in Edo period. The main story itself is simple for me, but the author only revealed the main plot on Volume 4. Except the bonus chapter, but I will get to there. ![]() The first volume is focusing in fighting/killing intentions, not showing real swords clashing. Unlike majority in samurai theme mangas that trying to grab reader's attention by full action scenes, this manga patiently gives some story foundation as primary objective, and put the short term actions as secondary. Here and there I found some poetic dialogue and quoting ancient philosophy sayings. The art is blending classic Japanese painting style with newer style. The arts is unique and could be perceived as weird by some readers. ![]() Queering the Tarot by Cassandra Snow5/12/2023 ![]() ![]() I have seen queer tarot cards save people's lives. From there, Cassandra Snow builds the cards anew, in a way that speaks to everyone regardless of their gender identity, sexuality, or gender expression. For ‘straight’ people, it will not only show them how the rest of the world lives-and how to read for queer people-but what may be most valuable, it will give them the experience of discovering themselves in a set of images and symbols not directly about them.” -Rachel Pollack, author of Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom “Queering the Tarot takes the tarot cards that we all love and peels them back to their bones. Is it only for queer people, then? Absolutely not. ![]() ![]() Now we have a book that joyously embraces all those hidden people, using the cards not just to tackle queer issues but to celebrate who we all are. People outside that ‘normality’ (a Dutch slogan from the 1980's: ‘Ever meet a normal person? And did you like it?’) learned to subtly code themselves into the pictures. For most of those 600 years, the images represented a hierarchical society assumed to consist of cisgendered, heterosexual white people, primarily of the privileged classes. ADVANCE PRAISE FOR QUEERING THE TAROT “Queering The Tarot is an indispensable book in the modern re-workings of the 600-year-old images, symbols, and stories-indispensable, not just for LGBTQQIPA2P+ people, but for anyone who wants to see how the tarot can expand and open to the world. ![]() ![]() It's hard for most people to get a clear read of what ESG is amid the overheated rhetoric. ![]() ![]() Many experts disagree, saying Republicans are distorting the goals and strategies of ESG investing.

Her regular publisher refused the book due to its grim content, so it and its sequel were published instead by Scholastic, who also issued a teachers guide to accompany the book and facilitate classroom discussions. Miklowitz based the protagonist of the book, Philip, on her son, who was awkward as a teenager.
