    Smarty-pants, wise guy, smart aleck, bigmouth, show-off. 
    Our collective society has agreed, with good reason, to define a "know-it-all" with such a negative label.  
    The Modern Know-it-all: A Handbook To Achieving An Infallible Worldview is a profound philosophical guide that completely flips the script on our world's common definition of a know-it-all. This enlightening literary journey dismantles the negative stereotype of the conventional "know-it-all" by introducing a transformative new archetype—the Modern Know-it-all—who attains wisdom through rigorous self-deconstruction, critical thinking, and a hybrid philosophical approach to life.  
    The Modern Know-it-all challenges readers to reconsider deeply held beliefs, to uproot inherited delusions, and to build a resilient and evidence-based worldview anchored in reality, reason, and emotional balance. In the most unsuspecting way, this revolutionary perspective provides each open-minded reader the opportunity to truly become the smartest and wisest individual in every room entered hereon.

    A look at the history of psychiatry’s foundational impact on the lives of queer and gender-variant people. 
      
    In the mid-twentieth century, American psychiatrists proclaimed homosexuality a mental disorder, one that was treatable and amenable to cure. Drawing on a collection of previously unexamined case files from St. Elizabeths Hospital, In the Shadow of Diagnosis explores the encounter between psychiatry and queer and gender-variant people in the mid- to late-twentieth-century United States. It examines psychiatrists’ investments in understanding homosexuality as a dire psychiatric condition, a judgment that garnered them tremendous power and authority at a time that historians have characterized as psychiatry’s “golden age.” That stigmatizing diagnosis made a deep and lasting impact, too, on queer people, shaping gay life and politics in indelible ways. In the Shadow of Diagnosis helps us understand the adhesive and ongoing connection between queerness and sickness.

    Gertrude Stein (February 3, 1874 - July 27, 1946) was an American novelist, poet, playwright, and art collector. Born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, and raised in Oakland, California, Stein moved to Paris in 1903, and made France her home for the remainder of her life. She hosted a Paris salon, where the leading figures of modernism in literature and art, such as Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sinclair Lewis, Ezra Pound, Sherwood Anderson and Henri Matisse, would meet. The following three recordings are from Stein's novel, The Making of Americans (1925), and her poems, How She Bowed to her Brother (1931) and If I Told Him - A Completed Portrait of Picasso (1923)

    In The Secrets of Silence, Shannon Malone Gonzalez investigates how the policing of black women is tied to the policing of their stories. Over a period of four years, Malone Gonzalez conducted intimate life-history interviews with black women about their encounters, listening to those who had never shared their stories before, had never even been asked to, or had tried repeatedly to speak to those around them to no avail. They all described the unspoken or whispered connections in the ways officers and communities socially control black women to put them "in their place." Centering black women's searches for recognition of their violent encounters with police and other people in their lives, Malone Gonzalez examines the pervasive and often invisible forms of everyday policing that render black women's stories missing from official data, headlines, and community conversations.In this book Malone Gonzalez shows that policing is as much about silence as it is about violence. Black women's silenced stories, then, provide a way to name and critique the institutional and intimate forms of policing that break and bend black social relations into a complex web of social control. Drawing on abolition feminism and black knowledge traditions, she envisions storytelling—and listening—as a way to reimagine, remember, and reconnect in solidarity and worldbuilding.
