![]() ![]() ![]() The stunning story Ng beautifully weaves is the perfect book for our present moment-a cautionary tale of what happens when fear goes unchecked and of the power of art and brave individuals to bring social change. At the center of all of this is Bird’s mother, Margaret, a poet turned unintentional activist forced to abandon her family in order to keep it partially intact, and Bird’s quest to find her. In an effort to restore normalcy, a decade earlier, the government passed the draconian PACT (Preserving American and Culture Traditions) Act, allowing authorities to remove the children of alleged dissidents, particularly those of Asian descent, from their homes and place them with foster families. We find Bird and his father living in an America that has been ravaged by The Crisis-years of economic instability and violence that Americans blamed on China. ![]() Celeste Ng’s latest novel Our Missing Hearts tells the story of Bird, a 12-year-old boy navigating a dystopian world consumed by paranoia and groupthink that feels just familiar enough to our present reality to be absolutely terrifying. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Terese Mailhot’s debut memoir, Heart Berries, is a book for women who are learning to navigate anger. “Focused with precision it can become a powerful source of energy serving progress and change.” She argued that only by naming and writing our emotions into being can we truly challenge white supremacist and capitalist norms. “Every woman has a well-stocked arsenal of anger potentially useful against those oppressions, personal and institutional, which brought that anger into being,” she wrote. In “The Uses of Anger: Women Responding to Racism,” scholar and poet Audre Lorde observed the suppression of emotion, particularly anger, as an act of white supremacy. Women of color are often considered to be too much. ![]() “I don’t think I can forgive myself for my compassion.” - Terese Marie Mailhot, Heart Berries ![]() ![]() May 25 MyAnimeList, Honeyfeed Announce 3rd Web Novel Contest. ![]()
![]() ![]() ![]() It's yours to own and it's just for you." I try not to take up a lot of space as a nonbinary person online, but it's definitely something that I'm continuing to figure out. ![]() JM: Why is it weird? JW: It's weird because I have imposter syndrome around it, but my bisexuality is what really gave me the tools to be like, "You can identify however you want. I especially applied that to my gender and I'm getting more comfortable saying this out loud, but I identify as nonbinary and it's still weird. ![]() Then when I understood my bisexuality, I was able to look at the world through a less binary lens. Essentially, when I was unlearning my binary thinking outside of my sexuality, it helped me understand my bisexuality. JM: You wrote, "Bisexuality is not just an identity, it's a lens through which to reimagine the world." Can you explain more about that? JW: I really came into and embraced my bisexuality in parallel with unlearning about binary systems, in general. It's so often dismissed as something that we don't need to talk about, which is why I wanted to tell my story, but also look at bisexuality as a political lens because as an idea, it can be really helpful for all of us to grasp. "Everyone is bisexual" is my favorite thing to point out is actually a microaggression against bi people because it implies that if everyone's bisexual, no one is bisexual and it's not worth talking about and it doesn't matter. JM: We can flippantly say that "everyone's bi" or "no one cares," but to your point, there are actual, real-world costs. ![]() ![]() ![]() Over the cage floor the horizons come” (Hughes). ![]() The jaguar paces as though “there’s no cage to him… the world rolls under the long thrust of his heel. Amongst the animals is one still seemingly holding on to a sense of freedom – the jaguar. The animals are so still they look as though they may be “ on a nursery wall” (Hughes). Hughes’ poem begins by describing animals, usually found in the jungle, now caged in what seems to be a zoo. ![]() In Ted Hughes’ poem “The Jaguar,” the author uses the jaguar character as a symbol of animal imprisonment to convey a sense of animal suffering to the reader. Pride of Baghdad and “The Jaguar” use extended animal metaphors to force the reader to reflect on the concept of freedom and how it is interpreted across different cultures and species. ![]() Vaughan and illustrated by Niko Henrichon. The concept of freedom is explored in Ted Hughes’ poem “The Jaguar” and Pride of Baghdad written by Brian K. For some, freedom is an internalized power that results from no restraints or restrictions but for others’ freedom is merely the concept of not being imprisoned or enslaved. In reality, the concept of freedom ranges across cultures and species. Freedom is a seemingly universal concept – the idea that one has the ability to speak and act without restraint. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There are the usual library marks and it has been quite well borrowed however there do not seem to be any stamps or other marks within the body of the text.

If his epoch making novel, ‘The Gulag Archipelago’ was a massive historic account of the Soviet secret Police, and a shattering account of the Soviet Penal system, his earlier semi autobiographical work, ‘Cancer Ward’ is the celebrated novel of life in the Soviet Union during Stalin’s Purge, when millions were killed, thrown into labor camps or exiled. His works come out of the depths the soul, from the bone marrow, to buoyantly fight every human indignity, tyranny and oppression of freedom. Alexander Solzhenitsyn has been called the only Russian classic by many, repudiated by none. ![]() ![]() ![]() Along with trips back and fourth to NYC and not forgetting Ibiza during this summer.

Sienna describes herself as the “fat funny” Latina, but annoyingly she excuses her size by explaining she exercises daily. I know it’s trendy to be a woodland hipster, but not every guy looks great with a beard, and not everyone is factory-made perfect. Every Winston brother is bearded in the way that craft brewery dudes are now, and gorgeous, which to makes me roll my eyes. ![]() ![]() I didn’t read the first book, and it seems to make no difference. Penny Reid wisely choose to write a large family there are six Winston brothers and one sister, so that’s a guaranteed seven books to lasso readers with. But when these two meet, yada, yada, yada.

When Sienna heads to Tennessee to start her next picture, she ends up lost on the Appalachia mountains, where Jethro Winston finds her. She’s also on the fat side, her manipulative younger sister is her manager, and male actors try to cling to her in hopes that fame will rub off. She’s a writer and lead actress, and she won an Academic Award for best actress - in a comedy no less. Sienna Diaz is the biggest name in Hollywood. ![]() |
