In "As We Are and As We May Be," Walter Besant explores the intricate tapestry of social reform and human potential through a blend of narrative and philosophical discourse. The book is written in a didactic style that seamlessly intertwines storytelling with critical analysis, making it a significant work in the context of late Victorian literature, which grappled with the rapid changes brought about by industrialization and urbanization. Besant presents a vision of an ideal society, emphasizing the importance of education, freedom, and moral integrity as mechanisms for social change, thereby inviting readers to consider both the harsh realities of their contemporary world and the possibilities for a more equitable future. Walter Besant, a prominent novelist and social commentator of the late 19th century, was deeply influenced by the socio-economic conditions of his time. His experiences as a pioneer in the Society of Authors and his commitment to social causes provided a rich backdrop for his writings.

This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the intersections of literature, social justice, and utopian thought. Besant'Äôs compelling arguments and vivid illustrations not only provoke reflection but also inspire action, making it an essential read for anyone passionate about reforming society and envisioning a better world.

    We are sometimes our own worst enemies, sabotaging our success and with it our chance for lasting happiness and opportunities for personal and professional fulfillment. It's Not Your Fault helps listeners uncover the subconscious reasons they hold themselves back. These blind spots were often created in childhood as coping mechanisms in response to trauma. Rather than teaching tactics that ignore or give surface attention to adverse childhood events, the book lovingly guides listeners to explore the ways these events have impacted their lives and how this knowledge will help them access true transformation. 
     
     
     
    Those who have been let down by traditional therapeutic techniques know that behavior modification doesn't work for everyone. Simply doing things differently while staying the same on the inside might help for the short term, but before long old patterns emerge. Once they decide to get serious about change, however, and stop tweaking habits in the hope it will result in lasting transformation, they can create a life by design instead of default. It takes work, an internal excavation, and Laura comes alongside the listener as a trusted guide who has been where they are now. She provides the tools and anecdotal evidence to show them how to overcome the pain of self-sabotage and create the life they desire.

    The French Revolution did not emerge suddenly but was the result of long-standing tensions within French society. At the heart of these tensions was the Ancien Régime, a rigid social and political system that had governed France for centuries. Under this system, society was divided into three estates: the clergy, the nobility, and the commoners. The First Estate, consisting of the clergy, and the Second Estate, made up of the nobility, enjoyed significant privileges, including exemptions from many taxes. Meanwhile, the Third Estate, which comprised the vast majority of the population, bore the heaviest tax burden despite having little political representation. This deep inequality fueled resentment and set the stage for revolutionary change. 
    Economic struggles further exacerbated the crisis. Throughout the 18th century, France faced mounting financial difficulties due to costly wars, including its involvement in the American Revolution. These expenses left the country with a massive debt, which the government attempted to resolve by increasing taxes on the already overburdened Third Estate. Additionally, poor harvests in the late 1780s led to food shortages and rising bread prices, making daily survival difficult for many commoners. Hunger and economic hardship created widespread unrest, as people began to question a system that seemed indifferent to their suffering. The monarchy, under King Louis XVI, proved incapable of addressing these issues effectively. His lavish spending and reluctance to implement financial reforms only deepened public frustration. 
    While economic and social tensions played a crucial role in the revolution’s origins, the ideas of the Enlightenment provided the ideological foundation for change. Thinkers such as John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Voltaire criticized absolute monarchy and promoted principles of liberty, equality, and individual rights.

    An MDLG and ABDL themed love story for the age play fetishist. 
    Please note: This book contains content only appropriate for individuals interested in the MDLG subgroup of BDSM. It includes kink related themes, lactation, sex with a strap on, psychological power-play both sexual and non-sexual, sub-training in deep throating and re-conditioning using domination techniques with little space as a reward, and punishment by flogging and forced orgasms utilizing a sex dungeon. Mild degradation and a fast-moving relationship that explores when a limit is pushed too far. 
    The story is a work of fiction, and although based on multiple personal experiences, Tina Moore does not assume to speak for the entire community. She also believes that the kink is as broad and diverse as the consenting adults who engage in it, and thus there is not a ‘correct’ way to be a consenting adult involved in age play and/or regression. 
    Tina Moore would like to thank all her loyal, supportive, and loving fans. She wishes you every happiness and success and hopes that you stay safe, calm, and healthy. 
    Anna had a perfect life. The perfect job and the perfect apartment, but something was missing. As the young, stunning, blonde Meg catches Anna’s eye, she knows exactly who she wants to be her perfect baby girl. As their relationship takes form, will Meg be the girl Anna has always dreamed of?
