Am talking about its entire history to today. There is no mention of the long list of US crimes. It’s apparently also the only country that bombs civilians, namely in Syria. At the same time Russia is the source of all evil. There is no explanation as to why Donald Trump ever had a chance to rise to power. The author gives examples to back up his advice and it’s a little strange to say the least.Īpparently the only thing wrong with the US is Donald Trump. The lessons on their own are good as a recipe against tyranny, but then the bias kicks in. That’s where the author starts sinning against his own guidelines. Be open to engage in conversations with everyone, so nobody becomes invisible and is then vulnerable to being victimized. Don’t agree with the oppressive forces, not even symbolically, so you can just get on with your life. Resisting was possible, even in Nazi-Germany. Don’t agree just because when oppressive authority figures come along. Dictatorships have a tendency to eradicate all private life. Protect your institutions by joining a labor union or supporting a university for example. If you want to protect your community against tyranny you will find useful guidelines here.

When Alejandra meets her birth mother Cathy though, you start to see she part of her started to wake up before she departed Texas for Philadelphia. Because of them many roads that Alejandra would have taken she did not, it seems she was afraid of disappointing two people she didn’t even really like. And I thought it was interesting that Castro shows how Alejandra being adopted (even though by a half Mexican woman and white man) ended up harming her and many of the children they raised because of the hyper religious parents she had. When she realizes something may be haunting her and could hurt them, she decides to do whatever it takes to kill the thing that stalks them. But you feel the love she has for her children starting to break through. She’s indifferent to her husband and her children at first. I loved how we get to see Alejandra wake all the way up by the end of the book. Telling her that she’s a bad mother, that her children would be better off with her, and that in the end she may take a road many of her ancestors did, and allows whatever is haunting to take her and then her eldest daughter. However, the book quickly moves that something seems to be haunting Alejandra. You initially think that maybe Alejandra is suffering from post-partum depression. Recently moved from Texas to Philadelphia with her husband and three children, she feels adrift. We follow 30 something year old Alejandra. Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. And of course the fairy tale removes us from everyday life it removes us from the intrusion of garish headlines, literal violence, and all the ugliness of crime. And it seemed to work exquisitely with the old fairy tale. Beauty’s slavery is delicious, sensuous, abandoned, and ultimately liberating. The books aren’t about literal cruelty they’re about surrender, the fun of imagining you have no choice but to enjoy sex. And I thought, all right, what if he brought a kind of liberation, an induction into a world of bizarre yet irresistible delights? It has to be remembered that within the frame of a sadomasochistic fantasy like the Beauty trilogy, the readers are invited to identify with and enjoy the predicament of the slaves. I’ve always loved the fairy tale Sleeping Beauty, and found something erotic at its core. 'Valentina, I've been happy for ten minutes already.' (.) Nothing happened physically, but psychologically everything was there. It's been 9'30 minutes, and there Valentina gets up, she sees that I'm there, discovers me in a certain way, she discovers the cameras and she says to me: 'Is it OK?'.

I think then that they need a little more time, a minute later I tell them 'it's fine now we're going to stop', and it doesn't stop. And I start to turn, they kiss, and I tell them in a soft voice, I'm close to them, to now pull away. I had placed my cameras for 'the end' so I ask them to make a little connection with a kiss, then to have a moment of rest, where the bodies come off. In reference to the sex scene between Valentina Vargas and Christian Slater, director Jean-Jacques Annaud said: "What interested me was not the moment of the act but it was the tenderness after the act.

Susanne here, and lately, I have been stuck in the Procrastination Swamp. I'm not going to tell you which episodes, but every once in awhile the Chesapeake Shores action is set at the show's lending library box location. Without going into episode detail, I'd like to say that what endeared me to Bree's character is when she asks country music singer, Trace, to build her a lending library box in the Season 1 episode, Georgia on My Mind. But as the series starts, she's suffering writer's block and can't seem to latch onto the key of that first success. And a very good writer apparently, from the accolades she received from a successful screenplay. What makes Chesapeake Shores special to me is that it's centered around a multi-generational family where one of the daughters, Bree, is a writer. The Hallmark TV series, Cedar Cove, had a similar setup where it was set in Washington State and filmed in British Columbia as well. Up here in Canada we watch it on the W Network months after it's aired in the U.S., but considering the broadcast issues, we're blessed to see it at all.Īlthough the series is set in Chesapeake Shores, Maryland, it's filmed at Parksville and Qualicum Beach on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Do you watch the Chesapeake Shores TV series on the Hallmark Channel? It's based on the book series, Chesapeake Shores by well-known author, Sheryl Woods.

Living with Pike crumbles Zack’s restraint and fuels his curiosity. Still, Pike has to tread carefully he’s had his fill of tourists in the past, and he can’t risk his heart on another, not even one as hot, as built-and, okay, yeah, as adorable-as Zack. Also, teasing the uptight SEAL will be hella fun. But he needs this chance to get his life together. Pike Reynolds knows there won’t be a warm welcome in his new home. And the questions Pike’s arrival would spark from Zack’s teammates about his own sexuality? Nope. Pike’s flirting puts virgin Zack on edge. “ Off Base combines a sexy romance with an emotionally dramatic story and is a great start to the Out of Uniform series.”- All About RomanceĪfter trading the barracks for a fixer-upper rental, navy SEAL Zack Nelson wants peace, not a roommate-especially not Pike, who sees things about Zack he most wants to hide.

Now, since I’m the girl no one likes or believes, I guess I’m the perfect target for his dark games and twisted desires.Īfter surviving my first encounter with his casual depravity, all I really want is for Carter to leave me alone. Beneath his carefully constructed façade lurks a monster, a predator looking for the perfect prey to play with. Never imagined his coveted attention would turn out to be such a nightmare. I never dreamed I would attract the attention of locally worshipped star quarterback, Carter Mahoney. I didn’t care if it was an unpopular thing to do I stood up for myself… and in doing so, opened Pandora’s Box. See, I got a player suspended from the football team for harassing me, and in my small Texas town, you don’t mess with the football players-even if they mess with you first. Senior year was off to a rough start: lube in my locker, panties on my front porch, unimaginative name-calling. According to editors Ellis Martin and Zach Ozma in a preface, the entries they’ve chosen to include are not comprehensive, but a “touchstone” for presenting Sullivan’s archive to new readers. We Both Laughed In Pleasure: The Selected Diaries of Lou Sullivan, 1961-1991 presents a selection of these diaries. Lou Sullivan kept journals long after his own coming out-8.4 cubic feet of them now archived at San Francisco’s GLBT Historical Society-in a rigorous practice of self-documentation and discovery that he pursued unflaggingly from his childhood in Milwaukee right up until his AIDS-related death in 1991. It was an extensive rewriting of the self, and I’ve rarely journaled with the same intensity and regularity since. I was surprised by what I found: references to feeling different in my gender presentation far predated what I’d considered my ‘coming out’, and there were numerous instances of trying to talk myself back into being a girl. It seems obsessive now, but at the time I needed to edit-not to erase, but to provide commentary and make sure that all traces of self-delusion or wishful thinking were acknowledged as such. When I was 21 and newly out to friends and family as a gay transgender man, I began the project of transcribing and annotating every single one of my journal entries written since I was 13. Writing constructs the self, but it’s not foolproof. |
