![]() ![]() today i wanted to share this piece because it’s what i am reminding myself of all the time. (don’t worry i am actively working to undo this). when i feel good and happy and joyous – will abandon me any second. i’m the type of person who feels like my “down” will last forever. When we’re down it’s really easy to forget that this phase is temporary. and generations of women to lift to the mountaintops.Ī post shared by rupi kaur on at 5:01pm PST who contributed to my survival and progress- and i realize they put their lives on the line so i could live. ![]() but then i think of the sikh women before me. when i feel like giving up on many aspects of life. especially those of us in the diaspora who are protected by the citizenships we now carry. it shows me that we have to keep speaking up. when i think about what they along with countless other minorities are still enduring. ![]() ![]() they remind me that the work for justice. these women are a symbol of resilience for me. the widow colony is a place in new delhi that houses the sikh widows who survived the 1984 genocide of sikhs. this year in particular in the wake of the pogroms in india where muslims were targeted and killed through systematic state abetted violence by mobs of right wing fundamentalists – i haven’t been able to get the ‘widow colony’ out of my mind. but i also think about the past generations of women who walked so that we could run. Every women’s month i think about the work we can do to lift up the next generation. ![]()

![]() ![]() In the liner notes to the LP he didn't tell his listeners where he had learned this piece. In fact it was somehow courageous to designate the song as an "American Favorite Ballad" because it was barely known there at that time. ![]() It came only to prominence after Pete Seeger introduced the song in 1958 on his LP American Favorite Ballads, Vol. "The Water Is Wide" is often called an "old Folk song" but in fact it is not that old. Their performance was one of the highlights of Dylan's movie Renaldo & Clara and this version can now be found on the CD Live 1975 (see ): I heard it first from Bob Dylan and Joan Baez who The song has been performed and recorded by countless artists. ![]() "The Water Is Wide" is one of the most popular "Folk songs" today, not at least because of its beautiful tune. ![]() ![]() Here, they salvage what is left of their history, while tracking down any remaining threats. Those that are far enough from the fallout’s epicenter escaped harm, taking refuge in an English castle, where they remain, including the descendents of Buffy’s watcher. Thus leaving the watchers and council to wither away to nannies, fight-club wannabes and longing history scholars, among other things. Without magic left, and a slew of slayers, and watchers destroyed in its wake, chaos ensued. ![]() Tearing the entire system of watchers and slayers in half when she destroyed the Seed of Wonder fighting the biggest of the big bads, thereby eradicating the world of magic. ![]() Slayer begins where Buffy left, erm, does what she does best and went rogue. As it stands, both have done so masterfully. It is a very fine line that White and also, Diana Peterfreund ( Clue Series- In the Hall With the Knife) are walking between expanding universes with a cult following, and writing fanfiction. I try not to take advantage, but if they’re going to treat me like the castle pet just because I’m not all with the stabby-stab, at least I should get some perks. ![]() Slayer, Kiersten White’s first installment in the Buffyverse, Slayer series was easily going to go one of two ways for me, cringe worthy or HELL-YES!

She was but twenty-five years old when she fled Scotland for the imagined sanctuary of Elizabeth’s England, where she would be embroiled in intrigue until she was beheaded “like a criminal” in 1587.

Surrounded by all the sensual comforts of the French court, Mary’s youth was peaceful, charmed, and when she became Queen of France at the age of sixteen, she seemed to have all she could wish for. Life among the warring factions in Scotland was dangerous for the infant Queen, however, and at age five Mary was sent to France to be raised alongside her betrothed, the Dauphin Francois. She became Queen of Scots when she was only six days old. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In a dark and dangerous world, Dead Blondes and Bad Mothers asks women to look to monsters for the ferocity we all need to survive. They also speak to the primal threat of a woman who takes back her power. These monsters embody patriarchal fear of women, and illustrate the violence with which men enforce traditionally feminine roles. She illuminates the women who have shaped our Serial killer Ed Gein’s “domineering” mother Augusta exorcism casualty Anneliese Michel, who starved herself to death to quell her demons author Mary Shelley, who dreamed her dead child back to life.

This “witty, engaging analysis” of female monsters in pop culture offers “provocative and incisive” commentary on society’s fear of female rage and power (Soraya Chemaly, author of Rage Becomes Her ) ![]() ![]() I really enjoy having some type of instrumental music playing while I read ![]() I love all different types of music, it usually depends on my mood and what Im doing.

Representatives Rashida Tlaib and Debbie Dingell issued a congressional resolution for this awareness month to be nationally recognized. National Arab American Heritage Month recognizes the lives and heritage of Arab American people. April is National Arab American Heritage Month Plus, read on to the end for more classroom resources.

What I did not expect was Strout’s disarming warble of a laugh, which filled the Friedrich Agency’s book-lined mews house on the Upper West Side and triggered a dimple on her right cheek. I almost didn’t mention it - my plumbing skills are silent and efficient - but, knowing the cast of honest-to-a-fault characters who cycle through Strout’s novels, I had a hunch she’d appreciate my candor. Elizabeth Strout didn’t bat an eyelash when I admitted, moments after meeting her, that I’d snapped the handle off the toilet in her agent’s bathroom. ![]() ![]() Now don’t get me wrong, I love Google advertising for ROI. In it, Ryan George does an excellent – and hilarious – job of demonstrating just how much of an ad-driven platform Google has become. ![]() The YouTube skit embedded above is actually what inspired me to write this post. 5 reasons why people are adding “Reddit” to their Google searches 1.
