  Becoming machines 400 Years of...

  For four centuries, the modern world has been dominated by machinery. It was born with capitalist production. It quickly became symbiotic with capitalist development, which found its driving force in mechanics. Calculation, predictability, the power of abstraction - the categories of modern science were well suited to this new mode of production, which was about to invade the planet. However, all trends that lead to the elimination of life in favor of the mechanical lead to a general commodification of human life and a loss of our being-in-the-world. Turning nature into a mere raw material, replacing vital processes with mechanical procedures - all this leads to treating human beings as things, turning them into predictable beings. We therefore need to think in terms of resistance to this movement. The involution of the great Enlightenment movement towards the formation of a techno-scientific steel cage poses the task of rediscovering a sense of nature and life, of rethinking rootedness beyond what Simone Weil had outlined, of remaking nature as a sphere of resonance.

  Fans Have More Friends

  In Fans Have More Friends, sports fans, dads, and data analysts David Sikorjak and Ben Valenta argue that fandom can not only increase our sense of belonging but also serves as a powerful antidote to loneliness because sports fans experience increased social connection. What they didn't realize was how deep that connection was, the potential it carried for individual and societal wellness, or the opportunities it offered for adult friendships, making and keeping friends, and family ties. 
   
   
   
  Their theory is simple: if we want to be less lonely, we need to belong to a community or something greater than ourselves. Over the course of two years, countless in-person interviews and rigorously designed surveys, Ben Valenta and David Sikorjak have the proof that being a fan can lead to: improved social connections; stronger community ties; enhanced well-being; a greater sense of belonging; and more friends. 
   
   
   
  The common thread in all of these personal stories is friendship, community, and belonging—a feeling research can't reveal as well as stories can. Fans Have More Friends will make you think differently about sports and reminds all of us of the essential animating quality of fandom: We're in this together. Sports is not always about what's happening on the field but what's happening in the stands.

  No, they weren't "just friends!" 
   
   
   
  Queer women have been written out of history since, well, forever. "But historians famously care about women!," said no one. From Anne Bonny and Mary Read who sailed the seas together disguised as pirates, to US football captain Megan Rapinoe declaring "You can't win a championship without gays on your team," via countless literary salons and tuxedos, A Short History of Queer Women sets the record straight on women who have loved other women through the ages.

  The legendary French designer Coco Chanel was born in 1883. She changed the way women thought about fashion and themselves; her dresses were meant to free women of the corset and allow them to move freely and elegantly. At the dawn of a new century, Chanel stood for a new type of woman. 
  Chanel worked her way up from living in an orphanage to dining with royalty. She personified her own designs. Always independent, she never married, took on lovers as she pleased, and never apologized. A century after Coco Chanel opened her first small shop in Paris, her designs still define luxury.

  Personal boundaries are the restrictions and norms we set for ourselves within relationships. Healthy boundaries allow people to say "no" to others when necessary. Still, they are also comfortable with closeness and personal connections. This restriction determines what we are ready to accept (or reject) as a suitable and safe method for others to engage with us. We may set personal limits for everyone we contact and specific boundaries for certain individuals at other times. Setting expectations begins with knowing and establishing your boundaries via your words and actions.  
  Setting healthy personal boundaries is necessary for maintaining a positive self-concept or self-image. With this Quick and Easy Guide to Building Better Boundaries, you will learn the effectiveness of your boundaries, identify various boundary types, and identify methods to enhance them.
