  I Think I Own That - John...

  John Locke: Enlightenment philosopher, father of liberalism, inventor of “natural rights,” and accidental spiritual patron of land developers, libertarians, and your uncle who won’t shut up about property taxes. 
  In this gloriously sarcastic takedown of one of Western philosophy’s most over-quoted minds, Sophia Blackwell (Kant You Not, No Self, No God, No Clue) guides you through Locke’s greatest hits—including: 
  The blank slate theory, which basically says you’re born dumb and the world makes you worse 
  His ideas on identity, which collapse the second you forget your phone password 
  His version of consent, which mostly consists of “You didn’t leave, so I assume you’re fine with it.” 
  And of course, property rights—where mixing your labor with the earth somehow makes it yours, and stealing land becomes morally correct as long as you bring a shovel 
  Locke’s political philosophy inspired democracies, revolutions, and every 400-comment Reddit thread titled “Taxation is theft.” 
  This is not a respectful biography. 
  This is a roast. A eulogy. A survival guide for understanding how Locke gave us: 
  Liberalism 
  Landlords 
  Legal headaches 
  And a political system that thinks fencing off a patch of dirt = moral superiority 
  Perfect for: 
  Recovering philosophy students 
  Political skeptics 
  Enlightenment haters 
  Property law survivors 
  And anyone who wants to laugh while questioning whether government is just a giant metaphor for a really passive-aggressive roommate agreement 
  You don’t need to read Two Treatises of Government. 
  You just need to know Locke said, “I think I own that,” and people believed him.

  The Kingdom of Kush - Nubian...

  The Kingdom of Kush, an ancient African civilization, flourished along the Nile River in what is now modern-day Sudan. This powerful kingdom played a crucial role in the history of northeastern Africa, often interacting with its northern neighbor, Egypt. The land of Kush was known for its rich natural resources, strategic location, and unique cultural identity, which set it apart from other civilizations of the time. 
  Geographically, Kush was centered in the region known as Nubia, a stretch of land between the first and sixth cataracts of the Nile. This location provided fertile lands for agriculture, supported by the annual flooding of the river. Unlike Egypt, which relied heavily on the predictable flooding of the Nile, the Kushites also adapted to drier conditions, developing irrigation techniques to sustain their crops. The region was abundant in valuable resources such as gold, ivory, ebony, and exotic animal skins, making it an important trade hub in the ancient world. These resources attracted merchants from Egypt, the Mediterranean, and even as far as the Middle East, contributing to the kingdom's economic strength. 
  Kushite civilization was heavily influenced by its relationship with Egypt, but it also maintained distinct cultural and political traditions. Early Kushite settlements date back to around 2500 BCE, and by the time of the Egyptian Middle and New Kingdoms, Kush had grown into a formidable power. Egyptian pharaohs often sought control over Nubia due to its wealth, leading to periods of conquest and integration. However, Kush was not merely a passive recipient of Egyptian influence. It developed its own identity, blending Egyptian religious beliefs with native Nubian traditions, which would later be reflected in Kushite art, architecture, and burial practices.

  How do you continue on with life while grieving something you were never prepared for? 
  One moment, Leslie Harter-Berg had it pretty darn good, and the next, she was a thirty-year-old widow and single mom to two rowdy boys under the age of three. Thrust into the arms of grief, her new life consisted of strange tasks, like notifying AT&T that her husband no longer needed unlimited data and deciding what to do with his grown-man Lego collection while she also planned a memorial and parented solo. 
  This is Leslie Harter-Berg's story, but it could be anyone's. Anyone who has lost a spouse or experienced another kind of grief--when life doesn't go as planned, but it keeps right on truckin' without waiting for you to catch your breath. 
  But Leslie's learned a thing or two since her husband's sudden death in 2019. Throughout her poignant and funny attempts to "do grief right," she came to accept that no one was grading her on her grief and that surviving is often a lot more profound and beautiful than thriving. 
  In this poignant, humorous, slightly irreverent yet totally relatable memoir-meets-grief-guide, Leslie will help you:Let go of the need to find a silver lining or a greater purpose in your griefValidate the odd, mundane, and very real things that happen after the death of a loved one or another traumatic life eventRedefine the stages of grief--and do the best living you can musterEmbrace the beautiful tension of conflicting emotions as you accept a life you never expected to liveKnow that life can still be amazing as you move forward and find hope again 
    
  You can be simultaneously splitting your gut laughing while carrying a constant ache of sadness in that very same gut. You can look forward to a future with someone while also resenting that a future has stopped being with another. And you can move through life after loss by relinquishing the need to "be so strong" and allowing yourself to fall apart--so you can find that God is right there, grieving alongside you.
