Summary

"Embassy Support Access" explores the crucial role embassies play in supporting LGBTQ citizens abroad, especially when facing discrimination or persecution. It examines how international relations, human rights, and LGBTQ advocacy intersect within consular services. A key premise is that while embassies are obligated to assist all citizens, LGBTQ individuals often require specialized support due to unique legal and social challenges in certain countries. For example, a transgender individual might face passport discrepancies, or a same-sex couple could encounter issues with marriage recognition, highlighting the need for tailored consular discretion.

 
The book begins by establishing the legal and ethical framework governing consular services, drawing from international law and human rights conventions. It then develops its argument through three thematic sections: emergency assistance, documentation challenges, and legal referrals. These sections analyze real-world scenarios and assess the effectiveness of embassy responses, using case studies and quantitative data. One intriguing fact explored is the varying levels of emergency assistance provided to LGBTQ individuals facing hate crimes or arbitrary arrest.

 
Ultimately, "Embassy Support Access" proposes policy recommendations to improve embassy support for LGBTQ individuals, addressing issues such as staff training and resource allocation. It uses a comprehensive approach, drawing upon government reports, academic research, and personal interviews, and is intended for students, scholars, and professionals in political science, international relations, and human rights.

    A groundbreaking guide to sexuality that dispels the stale cultural attitudes about sex that leave too many feeling inadequate, and offers an expansive, attachment-based framework to free us and develop bolder, more satisfying relationships with our sexual selves. 
    When it comes to sex, most people feel insecure. But it’s not because we’re deficient; it’s because we’ve been under-resourced and miseducated.       
    Certified sex therapist Casey Tanner argues that our sex lives are a microcosm of every untruth we’ve internalized about gender, sex, relationships, our bodies, and ourselves. Most of us were taught that healthy sexuality is only for a certain kind of person, in a certain kind of relationship, with a certain kind of body. As a result, the way we’ve learned how to define “good sex” is reflective of how good, worthy, and loveable we see ourselves. 
    Feel It All is a comprehensive guide to help everyone uncover their personal misconceptions about sexuality and relationships. Tanner helps you recognize and assess your core beliefs surrounding relationships, sexuality, gender, and more; identify past trauma; find pathways to healing that work for you; and redefine sex based on knowledge and possibilities, rather than potential consequences. 
    Comprehensive yet accessible, informative, warm, and nonjudgmental, Feel It All provides a pathway for personal healing, creating stronger relationships, and achieving deeper intimacy. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

    In this penetrating public talk, J. Krishnamurti explores the many pressures that shape and burden the human mind: fear, ambition, authority, tradition, conflict and the constant demand to become something other than we are. 
    He asks whether the brain can ever be completely free from psychological pressure—not through escape, discipline or belief, but through a clear understanding of thought itself. With characteristic insight, Krishnamurti invites the listener to observe how conditioning operates and to discover whether true freedom can arise through direct perception. 
    A profound enquiry into the nature of consciousness, inner conflict and the possibility of living with clarity, intelligence and freedom.

    Kangaroo Court - The Court Trial...

    Historic True CrimeThe long forgotten true story of two convict "assigned" servant girls, Sarah 18 y/o & Mary 20 y/o, tried in colonial Australia for the murder of their “master”.  All the people are real. All court testimonies are real. The blatant unfairness of the trial was also very true. The deceased, Captain Waldron, was a retired army Captain, then gentleman farmer and magistrate. The police investigator, Capt. Allman, was Capt. Waldron's friend, also an ex-army officer from the same regiment and a fellow magistrate. The judge, Burton, was ex-navy. There was no inquest, autopsy or death certificate. There were no marks or bruises on the head of the deceased . The witnesses except for the widow and her 12-year-old son saw no punches, allegedly the cause of death. The attending doctor did not arrive in time to give evidence. Hearsay evidence was admitted. There were no witnesses for the defence. The defence counsel, Rowe, was soon after struck off for pocketing witness expenses. The defendants were not allowed to testify. The jury was seven serving military men and took just 15 minutes deliberation before the verdict. The handwritten transcript of the trial was only recently uncovered. The media of the day called it the most sensational trial Australia had ever had. The verdict caused near riots on the streets of Sydney. The police contingent guarding the girls had to be reinforced. The trial led to such outrage that the government had to intervene. The government referred the case to the King.  Three years later the British House of Commons initiated an enquiry into the Transportation of convicts and status of Australia, especially the "assigning" of convicts to private masters, such as were Sarah and Mary. They were effectively slaves. The committee chairman, Molesworth, delivered the final report in 1840. The chairman then moved the motion that would change Australia forever. Queen Victoria by proclamation ended Transportation to NSW a few months later.

    This program includes a bonus conversation between the author and editor.Volodymyr Zelensky captivated the world when his country was invaded by Russia in February 2022. His appearances were accompanied by countless inspiring statements. But there's a single one that informs Unlocking Your Inner Zelensky: "We are all simple people."Jessie Kanzer sees Zelensky as a Spiritual Leader for Our Times. As a native Russian speaker (like Zelensky himself), she picks up on the deep philosophical ramifications behind his words. Rich and yet easily understood, the life lessons in Unlocking Your Inner Zelensky are accessible and wise, and are more about starting where you are than about war.Kanzer herself has a bit part in Zelensky's life story, acting in one of his movies filmed in the States. She's a self-described "spiritual nerd" who followed Zelensky long before he stood before a blue and yellow backdrop on the national stage. She writes, "What is so incredible about our man Volodymyr is that his belief in himself stems not from seeing himself as special, but from seeing himself as ordinary and from knowing there is great power in this ordinariness."A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press Essentials.
