Sinossi

"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.

    Policing Pregnant Bodies - From...

    On June 24, 2022, the US Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade decision, asserting that the Constitution did not confer the right to abortion. This ruling, in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health case, was the culmination of a half-century of pro-life activism promoting the idea that fetuses are people and therefore entitled to the rights and protections that the Constitution guarantees. But it was also the product of a much longer history of archaic ideas about the relationship between pregnant people and the fetuses they carry. 
     
    In Policing Pregnant Bodies: From Ancient Greece to Post-Roe America, historian Kathleen M. Crowther discusses the deeply rooted medical and philosophical ideas that continue to reverberate in the politics of women’s health and reproductive autonomy. From the idea that a detectable heartbeat is a sign of moral personhood to why infant and maternal mortality rates in the United States have risen as abortion restrictions have gained strength, this is a historically informed discussion of the politics of women’s reproductive rights. 
     
    Crowther explains why pro-life concern for fetuses has led not just to laws restricting or banning abortion but also to delaying or denying treatment to women for miscarriages as well as police investigations of miscarriages. She details the failure to implement policies that would actually improve the quality of infant life, such as guaranteed access to medical care, healthy food, safe housing, and paid maternity leave. We must understand the historical roots of these archaic ideas in order to critically engage with the current legal and political debates involving fetal life.

    This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
     
    Everything you do and think is controlled by others. Everything you buy. Your work. Your beliefs. Everything is part of a false reality created to control. 
     
    Humanity has no idea it is in fact caught in a massive lie. It is trapped by it’s own inner desires and follows the will of those in power. 
     
    Society is a mirror of man and society is a lie that is far removed from our natural origins. Every country on this planet is being oppressed by clever and powerful elite groups that have been building their empires for centuries. 
     
    They feed us lies and we believe. Eventually we become so deluded we can no longer even see it. 
     
    But there are some who can still see clearly and understand that we live in the ultimate Grand Delusion.

    Michelle Mays was born into an abusive family in the Midwest. As she and her siblings cling to survival, the balance of family ties is weighed against alcoholism, drug abuse, abandonment, and despair. Hope dawns in the form of foster care, only to be deferred by multiple placements and a system not equipped to support the children it's meant to protect.Through powerful vignettes of a life disjointed, Mays's story is a journey of hope that is echoed in the experiences of thousands of children in the court and foster care systems today.Dumpster Doll is brave not because it is unique, but because it unflinchingly shines a light on family turmoil, flaws in judicial systems, and ultimately, the grit and tenacity that thousands of children exhibit each day just to make it through.
