  Nurturing - The Supportive...

  Nurturing growth is a fundamental aspect of both personal and collective development. It is the process of creating an environment where individuals can flourish, reach their full potential, and thrive. The journey of growth involves not only the pursuit of external success but also the cultivation of inner strength, self-awareness, and a deep understanding of one’s purpose. By providing the right kind of support, encouragement, and guidance, it becomes possible to foster an atmosphere where growth is not only achievable but sustainable. 
  At its core, nurturing growth is about offering the necessary resources and fostering the right mindset for individuals to flourish. Growth is not something that happens by accident; it requires conscious effort and dedication. It involves creating the conditions that allow for personal transformation, whether that’s emotional, mental, or spiritual. The importance of growth is multifaceted; it helps individuals develop resilience, adapt to challenges, and become more effective in their endeavors. Encouragement plays a pivotal role in this process, as it can serve as a driving force, helping individuals overcome self-doubt, fear, and obstacles along their journey. 
  Understanding development and flourishing is crucial in the context of nurturing growth. Development refers to the continuous process of improvement, whether in skills, knowledge, or emotional well-being. It’s about evolving into a more capable version of oneself, and it’s a dynamic process that often requires introspection, learning, and self-compassion. Flourishing, on the other hand, is the state of thriving—living a life full of purpose, joy, and fulfillment. It represents not just the absence of difficulties but the active presence of well-being and meaning in life.

  Bloody Verrières: The I...

  Detailed examination of how the I. SS Panzerkorps faced Anglo-Canadian offensives in the area of the Verrières and Bourguébus ridges during the battle for Normandy.South of the Norman city of Caen, Verrières Ridge was seen a key stepping-stone for the British Second Army if it was to break out of the Normandy bridgehead in late July 1944. Imposing in height and containing perfect terrain for armored operations, the Germans viewed it as the lynchpin to their defenses south of the city of Caen and east of the Orne river.  Following the failure of British Operation Goodwood on 18–20 July and the containment of the Canadian Operation Atlantic, further Allied attacks to seize the ridge would have to defeat arguably the strongest German armored formation in Normandy: The I. SS-Panzerkorps ‘Leibstandarte.’ In the second volume of this two-volume work, the fighting of 23 July–3 August is chronicled in detail, specifically the premier Anglo-Canadian operation to capture Verrières Ridge, Operation Spring on 25 July. Designed as an attack to seize the ridge and exploit south with armor, this battle saw the 2nd Canadian Corps attack savaged again by German armored reserves brought in specifically to defeat another Goodwood.  Not satisfied with this defensive victory, German armored forces would then seek to restore an earlier defensive line further north, attacking to destroy the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division. Largely unknown, these were some of the strongest and most successful German armored operations to take place in the Normandy campaign.

  Salon's inaugural sex and love advice columnist and author of the viral LinkedIn sex work post, Arielle Egozi, shares their journey as a queer, neurodivergent child of immigrants who never quite fit into the social roles she was supposed to, instead choosing to embrace their multiple dimensions, and eventually discovering freedom—and true power—by being "bad" in a world that kept trying to force her to be "good." 
   
   
   
  With Arielle's personal and relatable guidance, listeners will learn how to: escape the male gaze for good; release the shame they've internalized; make their friends the loves of their lives; embrace their inner domme and reclaim their power; ditch relationship hierarchy to build the relationship(s) of their dreams; discover that sex positivity isn't about having sex at all. 
   
   
   
  Using frameworks and philosophies cultivated from years of living, writing, speaking, and educating on sex, relationships, and identity through a queer and decolonizing lens, Arielle offers questions, practices, and tools to help you find your own power and step into it—creating space for you to dream far beyond what your family, society, or capitalist culture expects. Being Bad offers you the permission to become who you are, however you choose to be.
