James Mooney was a pioneering ethnographer whose work primarily centered on Native American cultures.

For scholars and enthusiasts of indigenous studies alike, "Calendar History of the Kiowa Indians" is a crucial work that elucidates the interplay of history and culture within the Kiowa community.

The Shocking Truth about...

Zoey Fraisers

Retirement homes have long been presented as safe, comfortable spaces where the elderly can receive the care and attention they need. Advertisements and brochures paint a picture of vibrant communities where seniors enjoy social engagement, personalized assistance, and a high quality of life. However, the reality is often far different from the promises made by these facilities. Beneath the polished marketing lies a world filled with hidden fees, chronic understaffing, cases of neglect, and, in some instances, outright abuse. Families who entrust their loved ones to these institutions frequently find themselves disillusioned and powerless when the level of care does not meet expectations.
As the global population ages, the demand for elderly care continues to rise. Many families struggle to provide adequate care for aging relatives due to financial constraints, work obligations, or a lack of medical expertise. This increasing need has turned the elder care industry into a multi-billion-dollar business, where profit often takes precedence over patient well-being. While some retirement homes genuinely strive to offer excellent care, far too many are plagued by systemic issues that compromise residents’ safety and dignity. Reports of malnutrition, unsanitary conditions, and inadequate medical supervision are disturbingly common, highlighting the urgent need for greater oversight and reform.
One of the biggest misconceptions about retirement homes is that they provide consistent, high-quality care tailored to each resident’s needs. In reality, many facilities operate with skeleton staff, forcing overworked caregivers to juggle multiple responsibilities with little time for individual attention. Underfunding and mismanagement lead to situations where residents’ health deteriorates due to neglect, improper medication administration, and a lack of emotional support.

The Time of My Life - Dirty Dancing

Andrea Warner

An engaging exploration into the enduring popularity of Dirty Dancing and its lasting themes of feminism, activism, and reproductive rights
		 
When Dirty Dancing was released in 1987, it had already been rejected by producers and distributors several times over, and expectations for the summer romance were low. But then the film, written by former dancer Eleanor Bergstein and starring Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze as a couple from two different worlds, exploded. Since then, Dirty Dancing’s popularity has never waned. The truth has always been that Dirty Dancing was never just a teen romance or a dance movie — it also explored abortion rights, class, and political activism, with a smattering of light crime-solving.
		 
In The Time of My Life, celebrated music journalist Andrea Warner excavates the layers of Dirty Dancing, from its anachronistic, chart-topping soundtrack, to Baby and Johnny’s chemistry, to Bergstein’s political intentions, to the abortion subplot that is more relevant today than ever. The film’s remarkable longevity would never have been possible if it was just a throwaway summer fling story. It is precisely because of its themes — deeply feminist, sensitively written — that we, over 30 years later, are still holding our breath during that last, exhilarating lift.
