  On Our Way Home from the...

  In 2014 Sonya Bilocerkowycz is a tourist at a deadly revolution. At first she is enamored with the Ukrainians' idealism, which reminds her of her own patriotic family. But when the romantic revolution melts into a war with Russia, she becomes disillusioned, prompting a return home to the US and the diaspora community that raised her. As the daughter of a man who studies Ukrainian dissidents for a living, the granddaughter of war refugees, and the great-granddaughter of a gulag victim, Bilocerkowycz has inherited a legacy of political oppression. But what does it mean when she discovers a missing page from her family's survival story—one that raises questions about her own guilt? 
   
   
   
  In these linked essays, Bilocerkowycz invites listeners to meet a swirling cast of post-Soviet characters, including a Russian intelligence officer who finds Osama bin Laden a few weeks after 9/11; a Ukrainian poet whose nose gets broken by Russian separatists; and a long-lost relative who drives a bus into the heart of Chernobyl. On Our Way Home from the Revolution muddles our easy distinctions between innocence and culpability, agency and fate.

  Sixth Sense Explained

  Sixth sense found in a human being or any living being for that matter is an ability that some to believe they own that element in an abstract manner that seems to deliver the information without using the five senses of sight, touch, hearing power, taste or smell. If a sensible person has five senses, then he does possess the sixth sense as well. It may not be exploited often or as frequently as one wants it, but it is invariably there. It is part of the creation of the soul in all people. 
  The sixth sense as described by the lexicon interpretation, is a power of perception autonomous of the five senses viz., sharp intuition. Others term it ESP or Extra Sensory Perception. So the question that one would like to reply is: How to activate the sixth sense? The reason is that the meaning is, as it were, lost for a majority of people. It's like the eyes closed and unable to see, can't be used for as long as they're shut.

  Ring of Roses - A Lesbian Erotic...

  I guess I could have told this story as a sickly sweet romance with me as the sugar mama splashing money around Niagara Falls to please my girl. It still would have been objectively true, but it wouldn’t have been the complete and unadulterated truth. If I’m going for honesty I might as well go all the way… even if the reality makes me seem jealous and immature and maybe a little nuts. 
   
  A true sex story from award-winning queer Canadian author Giselle Renarde.

  21st-Century Virtues - How They...

  Lucinda Holdforth

  Authenticity. Vulnerability. Humility. Transparency. These are some of the 21st-century virtues proselytised by mindset gurus, paraded (if not practised) by big corporations, and lauded by professionals on LinkedIn. The quest for authenticity, for example, is central to progressive campaigns for greater diversity and inclusion, while our political and business leaders are highest praised if they appear to be humble. But are Australia’s newest virtues fit for purpose?In this provocative book, Lucinda Holdforth questions the new orthodoxy. She suggests that these virtues are not only unhelpfully subjective and self-referential but also, in the absence of broader civic values, fail to serve our democracy. This matters when experience around the world, especially in the United States, shows us that no democracy is guaranteed.Holdforth reminds us that arguments for transparency and authenticity are routinely used by totalitarian regimes to justify ultra-nationalism, artistic censorship and population surveillance. Vulnerability may be a facet of the human condition but that is surely no reason to make it an aspiration. Well-meaning people may talk about the power of ‘my’ truth, but if pushed too far this risks a dissolution of agreed facts and shared reality, breaking down the decision-making processes essential to effective democracy.If we agree that Australia needs confident, rational, optimistic and outward-looking citizens to shape our future, then Holdforth challenges us to reconsider the contemporary virtues shaping our society.
