Summary

Fashion Most Hated explores why certain fashion trends spark intense dislike, examining the history of controversial apparel through the lens of social norms, cultural values, and individual expression. The book delves into specific garments like the hobble skirt and low-rise jeans, analyzing the historical context and societal anxieties that fueled their unpopularity. It also scrutinizes underlying reasons for fashion outrage, such as cultural appropriation and defiance of gender norms. The book argues that fashion controversies often reflect deeper social anxieties and power dynamics, where reactions are rarely solely about aesthetics but also about unspoken rules and social hierarchies. By examining examples of "hated fashion," it sheds light on the values and prejudices shaping culture. The book progresses by establishing a framework for analyzing controversies, then focusing on specific categories like culturally appropriative or physically restrictive designs. Drawing on diverse sources such as historical publications and social media commentary, the book offers a unique perspective by exploring the "negative" side of fashion, contrasting with celebratory narratives. Ultimately, it provides a comprehensive view of the forces shaping fashion aversion and encourages more thoughtful engagement with fashion.

    Igigi unrest leading to the Zu Incident was just a harbinger of other troubles to come-troubles inherent in long-term interplanetary missions, and female companionship was one of the significant problems. 
    The problem was less acute with the Earth-stationed Anunnaki since they contained females from the first landing party (some named and assigned tasks in Enki’s autobiography). In addition, a group of nurses led by their daughter of Anu was sent to Earth. She was known as Ninmah (= ‘Mighty Lady’); her role on Earth was that of Sud (= ‘One who gives succor’): she served as the Anunnaki’s Chief Medical Officer and was crucial to any subsequent events. 
    Its ancient tide echoed its opening words: Inuma ilu awilum (‘When the gods became like men’): however, there was also trouble among the Earth-based Anunnaki, especially those assigned to mining duties. Several unintended consequences resulted from the Anunnaki’s Mutiny in the Atra-Hasis Epic, which tells of an uprising by the Anunnaki who refused to work in the gold mines. 
    While the gods, like men, bore the toil and work. There was great toil for the gods, and the result was heavy; there was much distress. 
    The very Akkadian term, Awilu, means ‘employee,’ rather than simply ‘Man,’ as it is usually translated. In the Epic tale, the man takes over the work of the gods. Despite the absence of men on Earth, the gods toiled as though they were men. Enki and Ninmah achieved that feat, but it was not a story with a happy ending, as far as Enlil was concerned.

    ADHD Behind Closed Doors is a heartfelt, unfiltered look at what it really means to parent a child with ADHD. It’s not a guidebook or a list of strategies. It’s a raw, honest account of the emotional reality behind the closed doors of families navigating neurodivergence. 
    Told through journal entries, personal stories, and the voice of a mother who has lived every word, this book shines a light on the moments we don’t often talk about, the shame, the guilt, the exhaustion, the deep love, and the quiet resilience it takes to keep going. 
    Mirka Frommenwiler doesn’t offer easy answers. She offers solidarity. With fierce honesty and deep compassion, she names what often goes unnamed, giving voice to the emotional truth of parenting a child who doesn't fit the mould. 
    If you’ve ever felt alone, overwhelmed, or unsure whether anyone else really understands, this book is for you.
