Speaking directly to the reader, The Black Friend calls up race-related anecdotes from the author’s past, weaving in his thoughts on why they were hurtful and how he might handle things differently now. As he grew older, however, he saw these as missed opportunities not only to stand up for himself, but to spread awareness to those white people who didn’t see the negative impact they were having. “We don’t see color.” “I didn’t know Black people liked Star Wars!” “What hood are you from?” For Frederick Joseph, life as a transfer student in a mostly white high school was full of wince-worthy moments that he often simply let go. Writing from the perspective of a friend, Frederick Joseph offers candid reflections on his own experiences with racism and conversations with prominent artists and activists about theirs-creating an essential read for white people who are committed anti-racists and those newly come to the cause of racial justice. ![]()

Brief Summary of Book: Finn Rhodes Forever (Queen’s Cove, #4) by Stephanie Archer ![]() ![]() ![]() Aldous Huxley experienced the rise in the sales market and saw the negative influence that it had on society as consumerism began to dominate people’s lives consequently, Huxley wrote Brave New World to depict an exaggeration of the world if society continued to participate in mass consumerism. ![]() Shopping became people’s favorite pastime and the ever-expanding consumption of goods began to set the standards for happiness. In the 1920s, this ideal began to loose its significance as society became swept up in consumerism. As people buy such objects, they are making a poor attempt at filling a missing void in their lives. ![]() People can continuously purchase material items, but in the end, those items can never satisfy a person’s innate need for love and connection. “Money doesn’t buy happiness.” Throughout history, this concept has been heard time and time again and has been proven to be true. ![]() ![]() ![]() Having a distinctive comic sensibility has been endorsed by both JewishĪnd non-Jewish scholars, who, since the beginning of the twentiethĬentury, have tried to define what makes Jewish humour such a unique This characterization of the Jews as a peculiarly humorous people or as This "is a well-known fact among, at any rate, college-educatedĪmericans of whatever ethnic or religious background" (1997: 87).

The mission of sneaking to Tlatelolco again, this time semi-officially, looked tempting, promising, offering opportunities to find that Palace’s girl. In the meanwhile, Miztli, thrown in the strange surroundings of the noble boys’ school and out of his depth on more counts than he could deal with, found that the Emperor was a subtle man of many ideas, not above using spies even if those were villagers of most humble origins. He had promised to find her, but she was eager to help him keep his promise. The chance of learning about the mysterious boy from the Plaza and his whereabouts was well worth it. Even if to do that, she had to to slip out of windows or run around the Palace’s gardens barefoot like commoner slaves. ![]() ![]() Able to think of nothing else besides her adventures on the day of the competition and not deterred by the trouble it got her into, Tlemilli went about eavesdropping on her father and his political machinations with little hesitation. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Damsel was my first 'Dark Regency', and I wasn't sure what to expect. ***WARNING: This is not your average love story … containing elements of dubious consent and an antihero so twisted and wicked you can’t help but fall in love with the dark side. Steamy Content The Damsel: A Dark Regency Erotic Novel, The Villain Duology Book 4 by Victoria Vale is a sultry, BDSM romance which peers into the shadows usually ignored by a Regency and delights in the things that it finds there. ![]() With her fate now in his hands, she is uncertain whether he will turn out to be the hero who steals her heart, or the villain who destroys her soul. Despite the ruin he has made of her life, she cannot escape that the threads of deceit, desire, and pain have tied them together irrevocably.

When his friend, security guard Orlando offers to show them into the secure room (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility - SCIF) the President uses when he comes to the Archives to read, that’s when everything starts to go haywire.

There were so many twists and turns, I couldn’t spoil it for you if I tried a veritable “who can you trust” who-dunnit. I couldn’t wait to get into and it certainly didn’t disappoint. This is one of the books passed along to me by my friend Patty and right away struck me as being a Washington thriller/mystery à la Margaret Truman style. Today’s featured mystery is The Inner Circleby Brad Meltzer, book one of The Culper Ring series. ![]() ![]() ![]() But then, by chance, Zaher shifted to writing poetry in English. For the first five years, he says, he continued to write creatively in Arabic. It was 1995 when Zaher moved from his native Cairo to Seattle, where he works as a software engineer. Zaher, who is a software engineer by trade and a poet by vocation, crafts his work from the materials of two languages and overlapping cultures. It follows Zaher’s debut, Portrait of the Poet as an Engineer (2009) and his postcard-shaped The Revolution Happened and You Didn’t Call Me (2012), written mostly in Cairo in 2011. Times, investigates cross-sections of place, time, and identity. The collection, which was warmly reviewed in the L.A. “But it needs to be for a reason – it can’t be just a gimmick.” The Egyptian poet, who published his first collection just a few years ago, has been attracting wider attention in English-language circles since the release of his third book, Thank You for the Window Office (2012). “I dream of writing a dual language poem,” Maged Zaher says. But first, from the profile: Maged Zaher. Below is leftover material, some of which probably deserves follow-up and its own piece, but instead I just present the cuttings. ![]() ![]() This piece is from Egypt Source, as part of their “Faces of Egypt” series. ![]() ![]() ![]() She smiled, walking into the city proper. To another, it might have been offensive. The city got along just fine without Siri-in fact, it tended to do a little better when she wasn’t around. Yet even her father would have to admit that her disappearance hadn’t caused much inconvenience. People would notice, of course, and she would get into trouble. That meant she could disappear into the wilderness for hours at a time. Siri, however, could get away with being unimportant. Vivenna and Ridger had to focus on their studies Fafen had to do her work in the pastures and homes. Either way, Siri-as fourth child-was redundant. It was a good thing, too, considering the fact that she was betrothed to a god. Beautiful, poised, perfect in most every way. Siri sighed as she walked down the path back to the city. ![]() ![]() He would inherit the throne.Īnd then there was Vivenna. Fafen, the daughter just older than Siri, had done the family duty and become a monk. Fortunately, her father had four living children, and Siri-at seventeen years of age-was the youngest. True, by many people’s standards, Siri wasn’t “unimportant.” She was, after all, the daughter of a king. There were great advantages to being unimportant. ![]() ![]() Homer is anti-abortion, arguing that he himself could have been aborted since he was an unwanted child, yet that he is glad to be alive and would not want any other future-Homers / potential-Homers to end up in an incinerator rather than having a chance at life. I like the film for its openly pro-choice themes. He falls in love with the female half of the aforementioned couple while the male half is away at war (see? there has to be a love interest or there can’t be a story). He wants to get out and see the world, so he hitches a lift with a couple who come for an abortion, and becomes an apple picker. He becomes like a son to the doctor, and is trained in all the medicine that comes about in an orphanage where children live, and where women give birth, or are given illegal but relatively safe abortions.ĭr Large intends that Homer will carry on this work, but Homer does not wish to fall in with these plans. ![]() It tells the story of Homer Wells, an abandoned child left by his unwed mother at an orphanage run by one Dr Large. This is the film that Ariel and I watched yesterday. ![]() |
