    For fans of The Artist’s Way and The Creative Act, comes a ground-breaking new look at creativity, introducing “play” as the key to building trust and confidence in ourselves and fostering a greater sense of creative expression.   You are creative! Yes you! Despite what society, friends, family, and social media might tell you, you don’t need to be interested in or practice the “classic creative outlets” like art, music, or writing to find creative expression. And if you are interested in those outlets, you don’t need to pursue them as a career to live a fuller life.   The key to cultivating the kind of big, juicy life that sparks joy, connection and fulfillment isn’t by focusing on being “creative,” it’s by prioritizing play. In Prioritize Play, host of the Chaotic Creatives podcast and play expert, Rachael Renae, reveals that play is more important to our wellbeing than productivity or career titles and should be prioritized as readily as getting groceries, paying your rent, or getting your work done. When we’re connected to play, we become more curious, open-minded and patient with ourselves and others and are better equipped to find our perfect people and express our most authentic selves.  Within these pages are:  Mindset shifts you can use today to start seeing play in the everyday  Strategies to turn play into a regular practice  Guidance on releasing expectations on your creativity, and  Lessons in becoming your own hype pal.  Through some introspection and fun activities, you’ll see that play is the solution toward overcoming our creative blocks, caring less about what people think of us, and showing ourselves that we do deserve to prioritize our creative ideas…whatever they are. Even when they don’t make money. Even if we’re not “good” at them. Even if they’re not a “traditional” creative outlet. Even if they don’t serve a big purpose. Because we all deserve our version of our Big, Juicy Life!

  • Escaping the Gulags: The History of the Most Famous Attempts to Escape the Soviet Union’s Notorious Labor Camps - cover

    Escaping the Gulags: The History...

    One of the most idiosyncratic horrors of Soviet Russia was the Gulag system, an extensive network of forced labor and concentration camps. Part of the rationale behind this system was that it could serve as slave labor in the drive for industrialization, while also serving as a form of punishment. The name Gulag is in fact an acronym, approximating to “Main Administration of Camps” (in Russian: Glavnoe Upravlenie Lagerei) and operated by the Soviet Union’s Ministry of the Interior.[1] The Gulag consisted of internment camps, forced labor camps, psychiatric hospital facilities, and special laboratories, and its prisoners were known as zeks. Such was the closed and secretive nature of the Soviet state that to this day, knowledge of the Gulag system comes mainly from Western studies, firsthand accounts by prisoners such as Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, and some local studies after the fall of communism. 
    	The most recognisable version of the Gulag, a term that was never pluralized in Russia itself, existed from the 1930s-1950s, a period in which a huge network of camps and prisons was established across the vast Soviet federation. Prisoners were often used as forced labor, made to do physically arduous and soul-destroying tasks. Some workers helped to build large infrastructure projects, and indeed the system was partly rationalized in terms of economics.  
    	By the early 1960s, Gulags were synonymous with various forms of punishments, including house arrest, imprisonment in isolated places, or confinement to a mental hospital where a prisoner would be declared insane or diagnosed with a “political” form of psychosis. In its later years, the Gulags held a particular place in the public’s imagination, both within the USSR and in the outside world. They could mean exile, brutal punishment, or simply being banished to Siberia.

    “I don’t need handcuffs to control you—all it takes is a chastity cage.” 
    It began with a cavity search. 
    The police officer is convinced I committed the crime, and he says he knows how to interrogate guys like me. He locked me into chastity and forced me to my knees. 
    Every morning, he brings me into the interrogation room and repeats the process. I’m trying to maintain my innocence, but I’m starting to feel strange. The thought of his seed makes me salivate. Am I developing an addiction? 
    He’s wearing me down. My willpower is slipping away…
