Andrew Brobyn

A mid-level drug trafficker and self-proclaimed low-life with a big vocabulary comes to terms with his actions and his mental health. 
 
 
 
Andrew Brobyn's relationship was in shambles before he took the terrible acid that sent him on an almost decade-long journey seeking redemption. His immediate plans following university were to liquidate his illicit assets, sell his client list, pack up shop, and retire to his parents' home in Toronto, while he figured out what to do with a bachelor's degree in philosophy and a quarter million in cash. As his drug use and bipolar disorder spiral, his situation gets stranger and stranger, taking him from his university campus to strip clubs, psych wards, and the slammer. 
 
 
 
Equal parts hilarious and terrifying, Babble On is a psycho-philosophical memoir that tracks Brobyn as he navigates the consequences of his eccentric choices and struggles with profound ambivalence toward his own health and well-being.

Women at War - The Pivotal Role...

Sage Winters

Before the outbreak of World War II, women’s roles in society were primarily defined by traditional expectations of domesticity and support. The early 20th century saw most women confined to the home, tasked with caring for children, managing households, and supporting their husbands. While some women worked outside the home, their opportunities were limited to roles deemed suitable for their gender, such as teaching, nursing, and clerical work. A societal emphasis on strict gender roles reinforced the idea that women’s contributions were secondary to those of men.
Despite these restrictions, change was already stirring in many parts of the world. The suffrage movement had gained momentum in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, granting women the right to vote in some countries. This political shift signaled the beginning of a broader movement toward gender equality. Women’s participation in the workforce during World War I also laid important groundwork, as millions stepped into roles vacated by men who had gone to fight. Although many women were forced to relinquish these jobs after the war, the experience proved their capability and fueled the belief that women could contribute beyond the domestic sphere.
However, the interwar period brought mixed progress. The economic hardships of the Great Depression in the 1930s reinforced traditional values in some regions, with governments and employers often prioritizing men for scarce jobs. At the same time, women’s organizations continued to advocate for expanded rights, education, and opportunities. The period also saw significant cultural shifts, with women entering public life in new ways. The flapper era of the 1920s, for instance, challenged societal norms by embracing independence, freedom of expression, and modernity.
