Series: Intrinsical (The Yara Silva Trilogy) Publisher: Pendrell Publishing (September 27, 2011) ![]() ![]() ![]() I talked about the book, I wrote about it, I gave copies to everyone I knew. I still ate meat and wore leather, as I had yet to make that connection, but I was plagued by an underlying sense that there was something inherently wrong with how animals were so easily subjugated and abused.Īfter reading Animal Liberation, I realized that in the same way that racist and sexist views allowed us to discriminate against minorities and women, speciesism allowed us to inscribe an inferior status on animals and to regard them not as individuals, but as objects and means to fulfill our desires. ![]() I had witnessed appalling acts of cruelty to animals and I would cry as I drove home at night. ![]() ![]() I had been working in animal protection for 10 years in Washington, D.C., as a deputy sheriff, cruelty investigator, and head of the animal-disease-control division of the D.C. Someone has given a voice to it.” Long after I finished reading the book, Peter Singer’s words kept echoing through my mind. I thought, “Here it is, this is what I’ve been thinking. When a friend gave me a copy of Animal Liberation in 1980, it was an epiphany. It made people-myself included–change what we ate, what we wore, and how we perceived animals. It forever changed the conversation about our treatment of animals. First published in 1975, Animal Liberation was a philosophical bombshell. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Raymond: Colby Dionne, Isabel Dionne, Callie Fielding, Niall Gushue, Sarah Hare, Cady Kluck, Nathan Plummer and Emma Taggart. ![]() ![]() Portland: Basam Abdulhay, Israk Ayasin, Calvin Benider, Eli Bigelman, Lilly Braun, Zach Broome, Gavin Callahan, Hope Carroll, Eric Christopher, Peter Clukey, Chloe Croce, Will Cunningham, Kaitlyn Currie and Ben Curtis.Īlso, Chloe Delano, Elizabeth Drelich, Olivia Duong, Alexiis Fiore, James Fletcher, Haley Foreman, Laini Frager, Emily Freedman, Eva Griffiths, Emma Hallee, Elliott Hooper, Ryan Howell, Matthew Keast and Megan Keast.Īlso, Evan Leonard, Jake Loranger, Spencer Matteo, Hagen Myers, Kelly Nguyen, Mackenzie O’Donnell, Ian Ramsden, Riley Rheault, Sydney Robinson, Livia Serappa, Bay Smalley, Kathleen Spear, Johnny Sylvain, Alec Troxell and Lam Zimet. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But with her youthful recklessness, Coote’s turbocharged nymphet is, disturbingly, quite innocent too. Is Coote suggesting, God forbid, that the grown-up is the innocent in this lopsided pas de deux? Perhaps. It became my delicate business to seem modest, good and vulnerable, while doing my best to encourage your basest instincts.” With adolescent zeal, she micromanages their escapades, while he, helpless to resist, buys them a house in another town. I mixed utterly contrived emotion in with the real ones. ![]() In this way, she resembles her nymphomaniac narrator, who similarly never lets up piling on cliche after cliche and scenario after scenario to keep her lover’s attention: “I choreographed myself. “The simple act of breathing,” she confesses, “became charged with an unbearable eroticism.”Īppropriately enough, the erotic air of “Innocents” threatens to become unbearable, as the forbidden couple’s sex games grow increasingly outre: Coote has nothing against cranking the titillation level up to high and leaving it there. ![]() And yet “Innocents” is really “Lolita” turned upside down, where the obsessive Humbert Humbert is a nameless schoolgirl who draws her own pornography, and whose fetish object is her floppy English prof. It’s like that old Police song, except that, unlike Sting, Cathy Coote, an Australian novelist who wrote this book when she was all of 19, manages to avoid any clunky allusions to Nabokov. ![]() ![]() ![]() Adora organizar eventos literário e além de sua vasta experiência em trocar bilhetes em sala de aula, derrubar objetos por acidente e consumir cultura pop, ela fala sobre vampiros no seu podcast, Pode Entrar.

The survival of the little tree was quickly declared a miracle by Boniface, who said “Henceforth, the fir is the tree of the Christ child.” As it fell, it killed every bush and tree in its path except for a small fir. Saint Boniface chopped down a tall oak to prove to the Druids that their oak trees were not sacred and protected. Most sources agree that the custom of bringing a live tree into the house at Christmas began in Germany, early in the eighth century. The date was confirmed for good by Roman Emperor Constantine, when he was baptised – uniting church and emperorship.Įarly Christmas trees were not decorated. He says the Christian Church chose December 25, hoping to eclipse the December 25 holy day of its main rival, Mithraism. Like a snowball rolling downhill, important holidays gather customs over the years, some of which stick and become important parts of the festival.Ĭharles Panati reminds us in his book, “Extraordinary Origins of Everyday Things”, that no one has ever known on what day Jesus was born. ![]() ![]() Much of the world follows a faith vaguely similar to medieval Christianity.

He lent his support to Boris Yeltsin in the 1996 presidential elections, but when Yeltsin began losing his grip on power, Luzhkov switched to the camp of former Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov - which is to say that he essentially sided with himself. In 1995, he was part of the Our Home - Russia project of the ruling authorities. ![]() ![]() He helped defend the White House in 1991. Luzhkov always supported those in power - but only when he felt that they already had or would gradually gain a firm grip on power. In the capital, he outmaneuvered his eternal opponent, Anatoly Chubais, and rejected the federal model of privatization. Moscow became his personal state, burdened with federal authority. Luzhkov described his wife, Russia’s richest woman Elena Baturina, as a “talented entrepreneur.” That phrase became famous, as everyone knew she received billions in state construction contracts in the capital.Īs mayor, Luzhkov was a standard Soviet engineer with all the nuance of a concrete construction block: a “homo sovieticus” in a new setting who became the symbol of Russia’s new “crony capitalism” and a pioneer and champion of state capitalism. Another feature of Luzhkov was that he always sued those who offended him, and always won - thanks to the Moscow justice system that he kept in his back pocket. ![]() |
