Sinopse

"Mainstream Shift Markers" explores the pivotal moments when mainstream publishing began embracing LGBTQ+ voices, offering a historical analysis of this significant cultural shift. The book argues that LGBTQ+ inclusion wasn't a smooth progression but a series of hard-won battles shaped by activism, shifting social norms, and the commercial appeal of LGBTQ+ content. For example, the surge in AIDS literature during the 1980s and 1990s played a crucial role in bringing LGBTQ+ experiences to a wider audience.

 
The book examines the evolution of LGBTQ+ representation in publishing, from subtle early depictions to the emergence of specialized LGBTQ+ presses and the subsequent mainstreaming of LGBTQ+ authors and stories. It progresses chronologically, delving into the impact of events like the Stonewall riots and significant legal decisions. A key focus is on the publishing industry's role as a gatekeeper, determining which stories are told and by whom, while also addressing ongoing debates about authenticity and cultural appropriation.

    In this rare and mystical work, Manly P. Hall unveils the hidden thread of spiritual brotherhood that guides the evolution of humanity from behind the veil. The Brothers of the Shining Robe refers to the invisible order of Initiates, Sages, and Adepts who, throughout the ages, have silently labored for the advancement of truth, beauty, and enlightenment on Earth. 
    Through poetic symbolism and philosophical insight, Hall traces the legacy of these hidden guardians—from ancient Egypt and Greece to the esoteric schools of the East and the secret societies of the modern West. He explores their doctrines, their sacred duty to the soul of the world, and their constant battle against ignorance and materialism. 
    More than a history, this book is a spiritual call to remembrance: that there are still those who wear the shining robe—not of cloth, but of light—and who work for the regeneration of the human spirit. Their presence is known not by words, but by their silent wisdom and unwavering service.

    VOLUME 3 OF KAT WARD'S SENSATIONAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY! 
    in this much-anticipated third volume, Kat recounts her early-mid teen years. Still traumatised by her early experiences, she was however not entirely without that sense of hope that is the inalienable property of youth. 
    Now at Duncroft Approved School for “emotionally disturbed girls”, her life had come to resemble that of a prisoner; a good day was a bad one and a bad day was horrific. A pattern interrupted only by the periodic visits of a certain creepy old man in a shiny tracksuit, with a pocket full of a cigars and a caravan full of demands. 
    There were Rolls-Royce trips to London. There were jaunts to TV studios. And, of course, for Kat, as with most of the girls, there were dreams of a brighter future. But despite all the promises, there was simply no way out. For at almost every turn, another nefarious character was waiting to take advantage of the girls that no-one would believe anyway. 
    Now you can read her full story here. No punches pulled; no stone left unturned. Just the truth, committed to paper over many years, in the hope that it might help inspire the brave, enlighten the misled and heal the abused… 
    DISCLAIMER: This is a true story of child abuse. Reader discretion is advised.

    The Founding Fathers have held a special place in American society since the nation gained its freedom, and many of them had become national heroes even before then. Over 200 years later, Americans still look with reverence to these men, often debating with each other what the Founding Fathers would think about a certain issue, or how they would judge a certain law or legislation. In many respects, these men have become icons, whose words, thoughts and deeds are rarely questioned. 
    Every American is taught a pristine narrative of the life and legacy of George Washington and can easily recite the highlights and myths of Washington's life. Thomas Jefferson was instrumental in authoring the Declaration of Independence, laying out the ideological groundwork of the notion of states’ rights, leading one of the first political parties, and overseeing the expansion of the United States during his presidency. Before the United States of America even existed, the first American celebrity was Benjamin Franklin, who dabbled throughout his life in many fields as an author, printer, political theorist, politician, postmaster, scientist, musician, inventor, satirist, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat. Despite being one of the youngest delegates at the Constitutional Convention, James Madison was the Convention’s most influential thinker, and the man most responsible for the final draft of the U.S. Constitution, forever earning the name "Father of the Constitution). And if the American Dream has come to represent the ability to climb the social ladder with skill and hard work, no Founding Father represented the new America more than Alexander Hamilton, an orphan who rose to become one of the influential Founding Fathers at the Constitutional Convention, the driving force behind the Federalist Papers, and the leader of a political party before engaging in the country's most famous duel.

    The Bible is teeming with monsters. Giants tromp through the land of milk and honey; Leviathan swims through the wine-dark sea. A stunning array of peculiar creatures, mind-altering spirits, and supernatural hitmen fill the biblical heavens. 
     
     
     
    Traditional interpretations of the creatures of the Bible have sanded down their sharp, unsavory edges, transforming them into celestial beings of glory and light—or chubby, happy cherubs. Those cherubs? They're actually hybrid guardian monsters, more closely associated with the Egyptian sphinx than with flying babies. And the seraphim? Winged serpents sent to mete out God's vengeance. Demons aren't at war with angels; they're a distinct supernatural species used by Satan and by God. The pattern is chilling. Most of these monsters aren't God's opponents—they're God's entourage. 
     
     
     
    Killer angels, plague demons, manipulative spirits, creatures with an alarming number of wings (and eyes all over)—these shapeshifters and realm-crossers act with stunning brutality, each reflecting a facet of God's own monstrosity. Confronting God's monsters—and the God-monster—may be uncomfortable, but the Bible is richer for their presence. For anyone interested in monsters, myths, folklore, demons, and more, God's Monsters is an entertaining deep dive into the creaturely strangeness of the Bible.
