Kaur had been pouring her art directly into the Internet, and it hadn’t occurred to her that there might be demand for something as old-school as a printed book. Kaur’s fans began asking her where they could buy a book of her poetry in 2014. Of 05 She Originally Self-Published Milk and Honey Even those normally plugged into the world of modern poetry are a bit surprised Kaur is just 24 years old, and no one could have predicted that someone so young would just drop a book that sells a million copies. Milk and Honey has quickly gone from relative obscurity to a secure place in the entrance table of every bookstore, on every list, and in everybody’s newsfeed. Think unvarnished, and brutally honest, and immediate-reading Kaur’s work, one gets the impression she is pouring her soul directly onto the screen or page without a filter, with nothing more than her keen sense of beauty and rhythm to guide the words into poem-shape. If you hear the word “poetry” and think of dour old rhyme schemes and lofty, flowery language, think more modern. Kaur’s poetry spits fire on subjects ranging from feminism, domestic abuse, and violence. That alone makes Rupi Kaur’s Milk and Honey a remarkable book, but the words within deserve more than just a few perfunctory statistics about book sales (a million copies as of January 2017) and weeks on The New York Times’ bestseller lists (41 and counting). It’s fairly uncommon for a book of poetry to not only hit the bestseller lists but to stay there week after week.

We also see school violence and shootings happening at schools these days which are on the rise. In high schools girls can get the morning after pill to induce an abortion without their parents knowledge. Vaccinations are also something that parents think their kids need to have before they can attend a public or private school. They’re influenced by peer pressure to have sex, drink alcohol, do drugs and do all kinds of wild things through “socialization” which we all thought was such a good thing. But there are so many problems with the traditional school system as it now is in America.Ĭhildren often get bullied and get in fights at school. If a child wants to go to school then by all means I would support that. Personally I don’t believe it’s the only way to learn. We’re so brainwashed to believe that the only way for our children to learn is to have a state run government institution teach them.

The abandoned house is seen as a bad omen, most recently exemplified in a familicide. Kumiko mentions that she had spotted the cat there, hanging up before Toru can ask for details. Toru’s pursuit of the cat leads him to an alley located behind an abandoned house. Once employed at a law firm, wearing suits every day and following a strict routine, Toru sees life for the first time as a non-conformist. Strange omens appear as Toru leaves his old world behind. In one, narrator Toru Okada is a newly unemployed househusband whose days revolve around trips to the grocery store and his wife, Kumiko, for whom he feels both affection and an awareness of her growing aloofness.īook One or Book of the Thieving Magpie (泥棒かささぎ編, Dorobō kasasagi hen) opens with Toru searching for the couple’s newly missing cat, Noboru Wataya, named after Kumiko’s tyrannical brother. In Haruki Murakami’s The Wind-up Bird Chronicles, the theme of many worlds existing alongside one reality embodies several forms. The rise of TERFism (trans-exclusionary radical feminism) in the past few years only solidified my conviction that radical feminism had run its course as a political and intellectual movement. MacKinnon’s ongoing commitment to law and law reform as well as her objections to ‘postmodernism’ that more than occasionally hinged on pedestrian anti-intellectualism ( ‘Nice neutral word, difference, and it has all that French credibility.’) did not help my relationship with radical feminism either. Soon thereafter, I discovered the ‘sex wars’, lesbian separatism, and – worst of all – Judith Butler, who took my thinking about gender toward a radically (?) different direction. Before I knew it, I was knee-deep in Catharine MacKinnon’s Toward a Feminist Theory of the State and I was…furiously nodding in approval? It had been almost a decade since my last semi-serious engagement with radical feminism, with which I became intensely, but very briefly, enamoured in the late 2000s. I decided to start with the basics, including a crash course on feminist legal theory for those of my students who were not familiar with it. In late 2020, I found myself teaching a course on gender, law and development. This series goes beyond the laws of what I could have imagined in my dreams, so I applaud Danielle Paige for her storytelling. This Oz retelling is possibly my favorite so far- even more than Wicked. (although not a super satisfying one) I realize I might be rambling on here, but I do really love this series and I would recommend it in a heartbeat. It just didn’t happen in a satisfying way, if that makes sense.Īll in all, I am happy with the ending (mostly because it hints that there could be more) but also because it was a good ending. It was mainly a massive lead up to said wedding, wedding happened quickly, and then it was over. The entire book is leading up to a massive wedding, but I felt like it lacked a lot. I think if I go back and read Dorothy’s novella, it will probably have a lot to do with her narrative in this book. I didn’t love that so much, as switching up a series in the last book isn’t my favorite. This book was very interesting, as they added in Dorothy as a narrator this time. Instead of being as epic and exploring the new realm, we find our heroes in caves underground, and back in Kansas in the end. END OF OZ,THE - Dorothy Must Die SeriesIn this dark, action-packed fourth book in the New York Times bestselling Dorothy Must Die series, Amy Gumm travels. They have been in the clouds, in castles, in caves, and even back in Kansas, however in The End of Oz they find themselves in a new realm. Every Dorothy Must Die book has been so epic. Shelby brushes Olivia’s hair carefully and lays out a white dress for her to wear, and she is pleased that her fellow parishioners notice when they enter the church, Living Waters, their church, is run by Pastor Jess Peacock, who took over when her husband passed away a few years ago. That weekend, Shelby brings her daughter Olivia to church. Other people in town have made millions on royalty checks while he has been picking up extra shifts at the prison and working at the Commercial Bar afterwards to help out his father, Dick, the owner. The next section begins two years later, and Rich is frustrated that drilling on his land has not yet begun. While they sign the leases in Pennsylvania, the Dark Elephant shareholders approve drilling in Pennsylvania, and Kip Oliphant, the CEO, is eager to get started. Rich, a correctional officer, and Shelby, his young wife, sign the lease for $25 per acre right away. He drops in on the Devlins, who are central characters throughout the novel. In 2010, when the first section of the novel begins, Bobby Frame is leasing agent for Dark Elephant, and he travels to Bakerton to convince residents to sell their mineral rights. The novel, which is told through the third-person omniscient perspective, opens with a short prologue that introduces Bakerton, Pennsylvania, as a former coal-mining town that was first founded in the Pennsylvania Oil Rush in the late nineteenth-century. The following version of this book was used to create this study guide: Haigh, Jennifer. Anonymous' media profile diminished by 2018, but the group re-emerged in 2020 to support the George Floyd protests and other causes. In 2012, Time called Anonymous one of the " 100 most influential people" in the world. Supporters have called the group "freedom fighters" and digital Robin Hoods, while critics have described them as "a cyber lynch-mob" or "cyber terrorists". Evaluations of the group's actions and effectiveness vary widely. Some anons also opt to mask their voices through voice changers or text-to-speech programs.ĭozens of people have been arrested for involvement in Anonymous cyberattacks in countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, the Netherlands, South Africa, Spain, India, and Turkey. Anonymous members (known as anons) can sometimes be distinguished in public by the wearing of Guy Fawkes masks in the style portrayed in the graphic novel and film V for Vendetta.

Instagram has been amazing for that I didn’t know that I would have such a reaction – I managed to get 2.5million followers.” With Instagram I discovered that I had a place where I could do it all for myself and decide myself. Like when I’m working on a big shoot for British Vogue or Anna Wintour at American Vogue or at Michael Kors, they always have the final say. Testino admits that the Instagram age has brought about a refreshing new perspective on the world of photography as we once knew it, noting in a recent interview with The Telegraph: “When I started using Instagram, I realized all my professional work had always been edited by other people, who decided what goes in. Testino’s new website, Mira Mira, is a testament to the relaxed one-off snapshots featuring some of the photographer’s most famous subjects, borne of a desire to create an unedited online world that would offer fans a unique insight into his life and work. Celebrity, model, and newcomer all have one thing in common through Testino’s lens: irreplicable individuality. Internationally renowned photographer Mario Testino built his career on the concept of capturing his subjects’ subtle nuances through a single, offbeat smile or unplanned lapse of posture. The most unforgettable shots are the in-the-moment-of-the-moment ones: unrehearsed, unposed, and completely natural.
