![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She’s just such an amazing character, and her development throughout the book was truly incredible you can really see where her desire for justice was born. Kyoshi is probably my second favorite part of the book. Read it for them, if not for anything else!! Just never look away.Īnd I’m just going to link you to this very convincing tweet I made, as well as more quotes. Maybe that’s the only way we get through this, Kyoshi thought. ✦ With their eyes on each other, it was easy to be brave. ✦ Kyoshi realized that comforting her throughout the night was both an honor and a torture she wouldn’t have traded for anything in the world. ✦ “You don’t think you deserve peace and happiness and good things, but you do!” Rangi yelled. This is a f/f romance (bisexuals won with Kyoshi!), and I truly cannot believe a cis man wrote it because it is absolutely delicious. Genuinely one of my favorite fictional relationships of the year, probably. Avatar Kyoshi if you see this I’m free Thursday night are you free Thursday night so I can take you out on Thursday night if you’re free I’d like to hang out Thursday night please message me back if you’re free Thursday night when I am free ![]()

Finally, a social justice framework is presented for consideration by mindfulness educators-a framework that shifts the deficit discourse of “school failure” and “troubled communities” to one of collective responsibility. An example of this is provided by critically analyzing a film that extols the virtues of mindfulness education but unwittingly demonstrates the white savior trope. The author then explores the racialized discourse prevalent in mindfulness education and examines the ideology of white dominance. ![]() Next, the field of mindfulness education is situated within a broader critique of corporate mindfulness, highlighting concerns about the ways mindfulness is being marketed as a technique to increase standardized test scores and manage student behavior in K-12 schools. The chapter begins by briefly introducing the work of critical scholars who are forging new categories to understand mindfulness as a social justice practice.

Named a Best Book of the Year by New York Post Farida Khalaf’s story is harrowing but crucialespecially when it comes to understanding what ISIS actually is and does. She took her chance and, with five younger girls in her charge, fled into the Syrian desert.įarida showed incredible courage in the face of the unthinkable, and now with The Girl Who Beat ISIS she bravely relives her story to bear witness. The Girl Who Escaped ISIS This Is My Story. So she struggled, she bit, she kicked, she accused her captors of going against their religion, until, one day, the door to her room was left unlocked. This is the story of what happened to Farida after she was captured: the beatings, the rapes, the markets where ISIS sold women like cattle, and Farida's realisation that the more resistant she became, the harder it was for her captors to continue their atrocities against her. ISIS jihadists murdered the men and boys, including her father and brother, before taking Farida and the other women prisoner. But Farida lived in the mountains of northern Iraq - and what happened next was unimaginable. In August 2014, Farida, like any ordinary teenage girl, was enjoying the summer holidays before her last year at school. ![]() ![]() Constant division and the discriminatory roles assigned to women in the Islamic enclave have had some negative influences in literature, which can be found in some analyses of Frantz Fanon's works and Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex. ![]() The work utilises Judith Butler's theory of performativity and Jacques Derrida's deconstruction to delineate and redefine women's subjugation and freedom by foregrounding the political, cultural, social, and moral elements redefining the pragmatic Islamic societies arising from technology. This work probes the motifs of women's marginalisation, cultural masculinities, and gender constructions as they affect some selected modern Islamic fictions around the world. ![]() Abstract : Matters arising around feminism, sexualities and masculinities, male dominance and hierarchies, gender identities and the configuration of patriarchy in religion and literature have constituted some major trends in modern women's writings, particularly women's writings in the Islamic enclave. ![]() ![]() ![]() That being said, I would probably only recommend the first half of this book. ![]() Of all places for someone to feel loved and cared for, it should be in the church. So I respect his call to the Church to show more compassion and thoughtfulness to people who are gay. I can agree that the church has mishandled these situations and will, unfortunately, probably continue to do so because the church is full of sinners. He is right to say that the church does not do enough to show people who are gay that they are not any lesser of a person and that God does not love them any less than the next heterosexual Christian. However, although it does rightly to inspire our compassion, I would not recommend it for any theological content regarding homosexuality. I think this is a valuable read (if read as a memoir) to hear Justin's story and to truly understand the hearts behind people who are gay Christians.

But that is like congratulating a soul for having just reached hell. ![]() Many people I know think that a book is completed once you submit a final manuscript to your editor, and they congratulate me for finally getting done. ![]() Right now we are pretty confident that the book, Life of the Mississippi: An Epic American Adventure, will be available by mid-summer. The labor shortages and supply-chain issues affecting so many other industries have also hit book publishing, so that will entail some more delays. The drudgery of copy-editing is next, and while that is happening I still have to laboriously write up all of the memos and forms required for maps, illustrations and photographs, and my acknowledgments section. I submitted my final manuscript in November, spent December cutting about 35,000 words so that this resembles a general interest title and not the World Book Encyclopedia and now I am doing line edits.

Its been a long time since I read her last.yesterday my little sister asked me what "ineffable" means, and as I was explaining its meaning to her somewhere inside someplace a tiny voice kept insisting,just say "its rather like a Mary Oliver poem".I do not feel like addressing her with a commonplace Miss Oliver.not when I know her like that and she me.Mary strips me of all my desperate strength, all the futile hard earned evolution and adornments I managed to soil myself with on the way, and as I now sit back, softly murmuring the wise words of her love letters to life, I feel that natural nakedness again, all the excruciating otherness washed and anointed with tender images of the ridiculously simple,my hands are trembling as I type this,I cannot even begin to explain the kind of ancient guttural reflexes she elicits from me. ![]() |
