Christopher Morley

Summary

Shandygaff is about the life and adventures of newspaper editor Kenneth Stockton. Excerpt: "SHANDYGAFF: a very refreshing drink, being a mixture of bitter ale or beer and ginger-beer, commonly drunk by the lower classes in England, and by strolling tinkers, low church parsons, newspaper men, journalists, and prizefighters. Said to have been invented by Henry VIII as a solace for his matrimonial difficulties. It is believed that a continual bibbing of shandygaff saps the will, the nerves, the resolution, and the finer faculties, but some will abide no other tipple."

Trans Studies in K-12 Education...

Mario I. Suarez, Melinda Mangin

Edited by two prominent figures in trans studies, Mario I. Suárez and Melinda M. Mangin, Trans Studies in K–12 Education brings together scholars and professionals to explore why and how schools should affirm gender diversity and challenge gender-based inequities.Gathering a wealth of evidence, the book's contributors expose the prevailing norm of gendered environments, which are entrenched in the very design and execution of educational research. The collection also lays out a critical overview of US laws and policies related to gender equity, gender identity, and gender expression and how these frameworks impact educational environments. These findings draw attention to deficit-oriented, pathologizing ideologies that surround nonconforming gender identities and the detrimental, often traumatizing effects on transgender students and educators.Throughout, the contributors recommend methods for establishing gender-affirming research, policy, and practice. They outline the sociopolitical and legal pathways that trans and nonbinary students and school employees may use to secure education and workplace rights. They discuss the positive gains made by professional development for teachers, LGBTQ+ advocacy, and community programs that successfully support transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals.

In short, “Your attitude determines your altitude.”

This audiobook gives you the exact ingredients I used to successfully maintain a growth mindset during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, while simultaneously writing a dissertation for a Master of Laws degree in International Intellectual Property Practice; homeschooling 3 energetic children; sustaining an online business, and running a busy home for a family of 5. 
With daily quotes to motivate you, real-life anecdotes to inspire you, and actionable steps to take, this book focuses on 4 key components: Health, Happiness, Wellness & Learning.
