  The power of hashtag activism became clear in 2011, when #IranElection served as an organizing tool for Iranians protesting a disputed election and offered a global audience a front-row seat to a nascent revolution. Since then, activists have used a variety of hashtags to advocate, mobilize, and communicate. In this book, Sarah Jackson, Moya Bailey, and Brooke Foucault Welles explore how and why Twitter has become an important platform for historically disenfranchised populations, including Black Americans, women, and transgender people. 
   
   
   
  The authors describe how such hashtags as #MeToo, #SurvivorPrivilege, and #WhyIStayed have challenged the conventional understanding of gendered violence; examine the voices and narratives of Black feminism enabled by #FastTailedGirls, #YouOKSis, and #SayHerName; and explore the creation and use of #GirlsLikeUs, a network of transgender women. They investigate the digital signatures of the "new civil rights movement"—the online activism, storytelling, and strategy-building that set the stage for #BlackLivesMatter—and recount the spread of racial justice hashtags after the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and other high-profile incidents of killings by police. Finally, they consider hashtags created by allies, including #AllMenCan and #CrimingWhileWhite.

  Resetting the Alarm in Long...

  Resetting the Alarm in Long COVID is a calm, evidence-informed, and patient-focused audiobook for people living with persistent symptoms after COVID-19 — especially those who feel unheard, confused, or unsure why their body has not returned to normal. 
  Many people with Long COVID continue to experience fatigue, brain fog, breathlessness, palpitations, pain, dizziness, and gut symptoms long after the initial infection has cleared. Often, medical tests appear normal, leaving patients feeling dismissed or uncertain about what is happening. 
  This audiobook offers a clear, compassionate explanation of Long COVID that goes beyond the virus itself — focusing on the role of the nervous system and how prolonged dysregulation can drive very real physical symptoms. Using accessible, non-technical language, it explains concepts such as sickness behaviour, autonomic imbalance, and why standard treatments and rehabilitation approaches do not always lead to full recovery. 
  A central section of the audiobook explores stellate ganglion block (SGB) — a targeted procedure that has gained growing attention as a potential option for some people with Long COVID. You will learn what SGB is, how it works, why it may help certain symptoms, who might be an appropriate candidate, and where its limitations lie. Importantly, SGB is not presented as a cure or guaranteed solution, but as one possible tool within a broader recovery framework. 
  The later chapters focus on what recovery looks like when it is not linear, including life after SGB, maintaining improvement, and supporting a calmer nervous system through pacing, rest, sleep, and gentle rehabilitation. 
  This audiobook is not about blame, pressure, or false promises. It is about understanding, dignity, and informed choice — offering reassurance that your symptoms are real and that a thoughtful, hopeful path forward is possible.

  Evolution Is Wrong - A Radical...

  A Fascinating Exploration on Why the Darwinists’ Theory No Longer Explains Everything 
  There was once a set of ideas called the theory of evolution, conceived by clever people and confirmed by countless scientists. Then people discovered the electron microscope. This made it possible to make the molecules within the cell visible, and suddenly questions about evolution arose that were not possible before. Which force actually bundles the atoms in the right order? What moves the molecular chains into the correct position? How did the first living unit within the cell actually come about? How does inheritance work, how does information pass on to the next generation? Did humans descend only and exclusively from primates—as Charles Darwin and countless other great minds assumed—or did additional “engines” intervene in evolution?  
  Today it is clear: countless questions can no longer be answered with the previous theory of evolution. There is a form of life called “Blob” (Physarum polycephalum). The “thing” has neither eyes nor ears, neither a mouth nor a nose or even a brain. Nevertheless, it takes in food, overcomes obstacles by the shortest route and exchanges information with other “blobs.” The “blob” contradicts any evolutionary thought that one develops from the other. Or the “gastric-brooding frogs” (Rheobatrachus) found in Australia. They hatch their young in the stomach. Impossible in a slow, evolutionary process.  
  Everywhere there are characteristics of animals that do not want to fit into the theory of evolution anywhere. And man? Are we really the most adapted life-form on this planet? Today, more and more scientists who contradict the previous theory of evolution speak out. The theory fits the changes within the species, but it can no longer be reconciled with the inner workings of the cell. Some other influence that has so far escaped us is affecting evolution. It is called “Intelligent Design.” Intelligent planning is suspected behind this. Anyone or anything—a spirit of the universe? Aliens?—could be behind this planning.  
  Erich von Däniken uses countless examples to demonstrate the impossibility of the previous evolutionary idea. He quotes scientists who argue against the previous teaching, but also those who defend it. Unfortunately, established science still refuses to look at discrepancies and holes in the theory of evolution, even though it is quite obvious that there is more going on with regard to the development of all species, as well as human culture, than could be explained by the theory of evolution alone.
