Dear Readers,They say in schools, February's no joke. Alongside my colleagues, I've certainly been putting in the hours in order to serve our students the best we can. But there's always still reading to be done — not only for this newsletter and our reading community, but also for my own self-care. It makes me happy that I keep getting to do this, week after week. Thank you for reading and supporting Article Club.I have a feeling you're going to like this week's issue. Instead of the regular offering (i.e., four articles), I'm switching things up and sharing with you some great writing and thinking from a variety of genres. Scroll down and you'll find:* an essay about racial appropriation and the end of an interracial friendship* an interview with Susan Dominus about IVF and her article, “Someone Else's Daughter”* an article about the care a park ranger takes in order to support unhoused people in Golden Gate Park* a podcast episode about how young people definitely don't think using generative AI is cheatingAlso, don't miss our pet photo, as well as our poll toward the end. Hope you enjoy.If you like what we're doing here at Article Club, and want to support this venture with a paid subscription, I would be very grateful. It's $5 a month or $36 a year.1️⃣ Dear White SisterI appreciate the work of Tressie McMillan Cottom, so when she recommended Don't Let It Get You Down, a collection of essays by UC Berkeley Law professor Savala Nolan, I knew I needed to check it out. I was not disappointed. As the book's subtitle makes clear, Prof. Nolan writes plainly and thoughtfully about race, gender, and the body. In the chapter, “Dear White Sister,” Prof. Nolan decides whether to approach a close and long-time white friend after an objectionable post on Instagram. In short, the friend quotes Beyoncé's song “Freedom” to celebrate her love for roller skating and progress in roller derby.Prof. Nolan writes: “I feel a peculiar sensation when white people borrow — take — something Black: it's like there's an octopus in my chest, peacefully afloat, when danger suddenly appears. The animal contracts its jellied body and expels a gush of protective ink, then darts away in panic. Don't belittle ‘Freedom,' I hissed inside. ‘Freedom' isn't for a white girl in the Midwest taking up roller derby.”By Savala Nolan • Don't Let It Get You Down • 25 min2️⃣ An Interview With Susan Dominus: “I was just so inspired by the goodness of the people involved.”Many of you read and appreciated January's article of the month, ”Someone Else's Daughter,” by Susan Dominus, which told the story of a horrible IVF mistake that resulted in two women giving birth to the other woman's genetic baby. More importantly, the piece illuminates the generosity of the human spirit, as the mothers, filled with grief and shame for an error they didn't make, embrace each other and figure out a way to raise their children together.I got to interview Ms. Dominus a few weeks back, and hope you take a listen. Over and over again in our conversation, she shared how reporting and writing the piece left her inspired and hopeful. Here's an excerpt: I would say the main thing that I really did want people to feel reading the piece was that same inspired feeling I felt in hearing their stories — that there is always a way, not always, but that when there is conflict or crisis, if you respond with openness and generosity, sometimes beautiful things come of that. That's what I took away as a human being, just being part of it. I was so inspired by the goodness of the people involved and the way that their goodness allowed them to turn something awful into something really beautiful.➡️ Listen to the interview by clicking the play button below.3️⃣ Her Job Is To Remove Homeless People From SF's Parks. Her Methods Are Extraordinary.It's easy to bewail the rise and intractability of homelessness. It's much harder to do something about it. That's why I appreciated reading this article about the efforts of Amanda Barrows, a park ranger for San Francisco Recreation and Parks. In 2015, the government agency launched a new program designed to connect unhoused people with the services they need. Since Ms. Barrows joined the force in 2021, she has helped 60 people leave Golden Gate Park and accept more permanent housing.Reporter Susan Freinkel does an excellent job following Ms. Barrows as she builds relationships with her clients, earns their trust, and listens to what they need. Having grown up in public housing, having lived in a “dodgy SRO” for five years, and having lost her father to a fentanyl overdose, Ms. Barrows says that her work feels natural. “I can relate to a lot of the people who I contact through my own lived experience.”By Susan Freinkel • The San Francisco Standard • 16 min • Gift Link4️⃣ Playboi Farti And His AI Homework MachineIn case there's any doubt: How teenagers think about using generative artificial intelligence in school is very different from how most educators think about it. In essence, we think it's cheating (or plagiarism, or whatever big word we want to use), and they don't. To them, ChatGPT is like a word calculator. Why slog away at a boring five-paragraph essay about The Great Gatsby that's been done millions of times when a robot can do you it for you?That's the essential question of this podcast episode, in which host PJ Vogt tests a theory he holds — that writing is more than answering a teacher's prompt, and that generative AI is more than just a labor-saving tool. It's thinking, he argues, and if we give away thinking to a computer, then our humanity is doomed.By PJ Vogt • Search Engine • 61 min • Apple Podcasts✅ It's time for a quick poll.

Dear Readers,I got what I needed Going for a Burton (that's an English RAF term from WWII, like we're going off to die). I'm at the press conference for the biggest show the Design Museum has ever hosted, with 32,000 tickets sold in advance. Much as I'm falling out of love with absorbing myself in the worlds of other people, I ask this most powerful man (who has maintained his independence through an autonomous style that stems from a wonderfully 20th-century cardboard clunkiness) a single question. I extend the invitation to enter his temple and listen to the wisdom of this master world-builder, the creator of Wednesday on Netflix, Mars Attacks!, Edward Scissorhands, and a canon of identity-inspiring creations, by pressing PLAY on the little film I've made reporting on the experience above.He talks about techniques and emphasises that it's all about mastering these in whatever art we choose to deliver. The first rule of witchcraft is to keep a tidy house, but how we define "tidy" is up to us. Living in other people's worlds has been a habit of mine. Art activates, allowing me to find myself sitting opposite Tim Burton who is exceptionally rare. He is unique. He is special. A mega-talented embodiment of the gothic who articulates his critical mind in these onscreen dramas of G-pop's [general population/consumers] relationship with home duties in the sanitised Americana of 50s suburbia. Burton's drawing descends from growing up in the suburban “Horrorwood” of California's Burbank where he took an unpretentious revenge upon the superficial. I grew up in the suburbs too.“Burbank made me want to make monster movies.” I get it.There he sent his work into art competitions, which led him to be fast-tracked on a sponsorship into the Walt Disney-founded CalArts school where he was enabled to explore his interior world, with confidence, as an obsessional artist. This is his legacy.“Each [film] leaves it's emotional scars.”Engaging with his work is like stepping into alternative, often scary, magical kingdoms. Speaking to Maria McLintock, the curator as she guides us around the show (a true privilege of being a war-torn member of culture press) her Vivienne Westwood skeleton earring swings with the same charm as her knowledge and integrity. “It's about 60%” of what's been seen in the World of Tim Burton shows which have shown everywhere from New York's MOMA to Lafayette Art and Design Center in Shanghai over the past 10 years.How does it differ to the Labyrinth shows I've seen advertised for Madrid? She's dying to see them: “They're more immersive,” says the former RIBA editor, whose knowledge of architecture creates the perfect ‘housing' for a tunnel of Allison in Wonderland to walk through. “People keep on saying this is immersive. It's not, it's more of document.”Whether Burton is a higher-res Edward Gore or an all-new Edgar Allan Poe, a tripped-out Goethe, or a Nick Cave of the Movies, it doesn't matter in a graveyard. These characters haunt us with their sublimity, ultimately embodying rebellion. Goths are eternal because death is eternal (as far as we know), and death carries powerful imagery: headstones, spiders, skulls. It's perfect that he pairs with Alexander McQueen, as proper goths canonise the act of not being mainstream cool. They embrace the coffin-cold fact that we're all going to die, but they do it on their own terms.Whether gaming is replacing movies or any art form or media is taking over is irrelevant, this is the show which views Burton as an all-seeing artist. This is why the big screen has allowed him to become an unusually family-friendly weirdo, defying the odds. His drawings of characters trap us in the simplicity of fairy tales, where children find solace in extremes. Although this show demonstrates versatility, this is a filmaker exploring the boundaries of victimhood, blurring the internal and external. The peripeteia of turning our wounds into badges of shame, then into medals of honour. It voices a universal truth. Do we walk through the broken vessels that smash to the ground around us, attacked and reacting? We can engage, ignore, sweep our house, or become injured. We all inhabit the houses of others, seeking answers from what has been missing, the art is to feel full of self (not full of oneself) and content in that rather than shamed or unworthy.Yet, what we allow into our systems (or whatever is present) shapes our journeys. Be it unfiltered water, chemically-sprayed coffee, or the myths of others. I was married to a director, so can tell you they are the gods of their creations, little would get finished without them. We enter the temples of other people through literature, music, gaming, and we choose alt Heavens and Underworlds, immersing ourselves in Utopian fantasies where impossible romanticism reigns. But what we create, we can only create ourselves. Sure we collaborate, as is discussed in the film above. Yet I am here to make an inquiry. I seek escape through the ‘Burtonesque' existential monochrome, mirroring a cartoon fear of darkness as a companion in the ironic danse macabre to the inevitable: death. I am here because the Burtonesque beats black like my coffee and heart. The gothic lifeblood channels life as an outsider. Yet I wish to belong. The dilemma of being a true rebel yet accepted by those we perceive to be “inside” requires a humble acknowledgment of our shared flaws as we walk towards the grave.There is no dumbing down or fading out the "black jeans on the beach of life" joke of being here one minute and gone the next. We choose to enjoy the ride, striking a Beetlejuice meets Robert Smith hero's pose against the paradox of beauty standards which true rebels are able to defy. (I am sure Cathi Unsworth and John Robb's goth books say much of this, with far more detail.)Burton discusses ‘the system' that tells us we aren't allowed to operate. What do you do? For me, seeking magic in others is a quest to find it within myself. In my worst of times I have had no protection against this. Hail the new witchery, the return to paganism, the need to understand and create order using more ancient traditions than this era of madness where we can see injustice in rising fundamentalism against females (I'm talking about Trump and the decline of western civilisation, mirrored in Jack Nicholson's presidential performance in Mars Attacks! as we forward-march toward a dumbed-down spectacle the Salem-esque dumbed-down fear states of 'merica) but it's so basic we can only loveheart a reaction. We are frustratingly disabled to affect geopolitics as we drop our mouths in awe at the online superficiality of the post-Covid 2020s. It's akin to the Wellness Dilemma, where justice is offered as the responsibility of the individual rather than as a responsibility of community management. The Wellness Dilemma is a mirror on consumer rights operating in carelessness for anything other than profit. We are facing serious issues of climate change, wars and over-consumption, walking hand-in-hand with trauma as victimhood flexing in a drama ritual, where space is taken up by injured parties, average accidents competing against violence rites of stabbings parading beneath a lack of societal management of equity. Everyone deserves a voice, and the power to use it, but in what system? Armies of protein-rich gym babies train for a war of healthy positivity against a past generation who self-medicated beneath banners of smiley faces or war-hangovers and first-generation struggles. I sense this may be one of my last occasions where I need to confront the ghastly aesthetic of a world policed by beauty standards imposed by ‘beauty' companies in the free-market warzone of brands, houses, offices, and entertainment institutions built to annihilate our financial empowerment. Subtle demands to comply with regimes that layer us with artificial masks of botox and filler that protect us from emotional empathy and the risk of deeper connections. Look at Madonna. Look at Robert Smith. We are symbolic parodies of the flaws of illogical systems in poorly designed worlds, we are perfect in an imperfect world, where it's challenging to determine if these designs are intentional. In the end, does it matter? Culture is a natural defense system like hitting ouch on instant messaging, to receive an animal vid or guru-shared platitudes that feel (sleepy) hollow against the backdrop of authenticity solved in a world of Wednesday.Sure, we manage our houses, filling our wells with what serves us, our revenge is to take space. To be nourished physically and metaphysically is essential, but it's hard to compare these acts as great as the spectacle of the movies, the big screen paintings which allow us to escape. I vow to write more fiction (my most popular posts here). Navigating a landscape where choice is often intertwined with financial empowerment and cultures, we must invent our own, but when they're symbols of the slavery? O Lord, yes, I would like an electric Mercedes Benz. Manifest!We must remember we're in a perpetual negotiation with the structures that seek to confine us, but not relive the horror of living in a world of overconsumption. And forgive ourselves for what we cannot afford. Our power is how we boundary our responses to outer worlds that govern us. Sometimes that requires sitting in stagnant waters, plunging to the depths of our malnourished wells, and rediscovering our needs. For me, this journey has taken me to an Andalusian mountain, battling with my soul and demons to face the hermetic dawn. I still would like an electric Mercedes Benz. That's my reaction to the Trauma Scale which operates universally; male, female, trans, everyone is entitled to suffer. Whether it's rape on a refugee camp to the bullying on social media, or sharing micro-details of foodbank trauma as drama ritual of victimhood, where space is occupied by the injured and the injuring. How is there equality in these rubrics of competing for attention amid societal neglect? What we do with our injuries defines our agency, resilience, and leadership potential, applicable to all teams. We all engage with pain, and there's a comedic tragedy in empathy, but black and white as Burton's lens is, it does not patronise with guilt; instead, he explores these wounded vessels with a perception of agency and resilience. Like any creative act, we can criticise rather than celebrate (particularly under a Beschdel lens) but there's an intimacy which the exposure-driven antics of contemporary pop culture are born from. “If it inspires you, if it makes kids want to draw, then that's a thing.” Resilience is my new tidiness. I want to claim my power with the stories I tell myself, as I know it shapes our realities. We can become interdependent with the worlds which inspire us. This is the point in having successful figures, artists and ideas, rather than just pedestal creations as being better than us. Much of our system amplifies the celebrity culture born from movies, where the industrialisation of the Star Machine creates a Warhol-esque religion of gossip and behaviors, often driven by sociopathic tendencies, glorifying chaos. It's like any dogma, astrological or otherwise, there is unlikely a single code. How we navigate the complex matrix of media and art as information in this digital age is on us. The lines between success and worthiness blur in a quest for ethical sameness. Burton is an outstanding artist in world where secretly, the weird are celebrated, because the world has gone weird, governed by dull tech bros and cartoon boardrooms with no control on government. Has it ever been different? That is what makes fairy tales eternal and keeps the town criers' crying. The aspiration to conform, through patronage or substandard revolutionary rebelliousness, leads to feelings of low self-esteem and comparison, dragging us into voids of negative capability. If we harbour a damaging self-fulfilling lack of belief in our own houses, we merely assign our power to others. “Do it from your heart because you want it, not what it leads to.” This mantra speaks volumes. We have to own our own shadows, remember not relive, and know gossip or faux-concern of the Other, and what they do or think, rarely serves anyone, merely enabling averageness. We are in a tidal onslaught of individual ‘empowerment' being exploited to sell things to or from, we owe it to ourselves to heavily police what content/art/entertainment/news/information/people/other is worthy of our short lives. This duality can be a terrifying preoccupation, the management of self-control when most of life can appear to be beyond our control. We are forced to be consumers, indexed by popularity. We have all smiled whilst being f**ked. I'm not getting into a feminist critique here, the self-portraits drawing clowns (on napkins) is a get out of jail card, from this distance. The personal, whatever (although I did enjoy the trooping of the mystery front-rowers backstage after the Q&A, who were they?!). I vow to watch Sophie Koko's animations. There is so much to consume, to create, but for me, the tensions in myself have been preventative from doing what I need to do for myself, so to hear this God speak, gives palpability to the distractions of explaining the issues of the day being explained as art versus industry, or how the rational coexists with the irrational, or progressive philosophies versus conservative risk aversion. Our biggest challenge is building our own capacity to prove our capability, to hold our own houses strong, and be as fabulous as Edward Scissorhands.Last day to enter Burton's World: April 21st 2025https://designmuseum.org/exhibitions/the-world-of-tim-burtonMy news: I'm proud to support one of the stars in my life, Pete Astor, with his THE ATTENDANT project on 21st November. I love the music, with Paul Weller's bassist and Ian Button on keys, they're also joined by the voice of fine London talent, Sukie Smith. Pete was one of the first signings to Creation Records (Oasis, Primal Scream, Jesus & Mary Chain), and we last played together when Psychomachia was first published. It's a really early show. I'm on by 7, so come early. Tickets are limited and available here:https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-attendant-tickets-1039379641487I'm excited to build on what I've been doing over the past year, and I won't keep you long. I will be using the date to complete the audiobook of Psychomachia, and will be releasing it exclusively to paying subscribers here. I share these words for free to all, in the hope to inspire.From the desk of Kirsty Allison is a reader-supported publication.

Whether you're eight or in your eighties, you're likely familiar with the best-selling children's book author Marguerite Henry. Her book “Misty of Chincoteague” is one of the most popular children's books of all time. It's about a pony named Misty, and any horse loving kid will tell you they read that book cover to cover, multiple times, and probably have the Misty Breyer horse model somewhere still in their possession. Marguerite Henry was born in Milwaukee in 1902 and died in California in 1997. Her life's work, all of her notes and papers, is now at the University of Minnesota. It has become the basis of the new book, “Dear Readers and Riders: The Beloved Books, Faithful Fans, and Hidden Private Life of Marguerite Henry.” The biography was written by Lettie Teague, The Wall Street Journal's wine columnist.Lettie visited the Twin Cities to talk about the book Tuesday night at Elmer L Anderson Library on the University of Minnesota campus and she joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer for a conversation about her work.

Dear Readers,In our latest episode, I had the privilege of sitting down with Jessica, a figure whose battle against enforced silence stands as a testament to the power of resilience and truth. The following is an account of our profound discussion, offering insights into Jessica's journey from grief to groundbreaking legal victories.The Inception of a Legal Battle Against SilenceJessica recounts the turmoil-filled days leading to her decision to take legal action against the Trump campaign, despite the daunting prospects that lay ahead. Recalling the irony of drawing inspiration from Donald Trump's speech in South Korea—penned likely by Stephen Miller—she explains how it stirred her to finalize a pro se lawsuit. Trump's words, unexpected catalysts in her darkest moments, reminded her that her "light" could still blaze a path through oppression.A Christmas Eve Legal Surprise and the Ensuing StruggleOur conversation takes us to Christmas Eve of 2017, a pivotal moment when Jessica faced a retaliatory $1.5 million arbitration claim for NDA violations. The following year was marked by an arduous search for legal assistance and a significant legal victory that affirmed her right to have her voice heard in open court, challenging the suffocating grip of NDAs.Triumphs, Setbacks, and a Precedent for Free SpeechJessica's determination paid off when she attracted a skilled legal team and notched an unprecedented victory: her NDA was declared void, setting a court precedent and liberating hundreds from similar silencing agreements.Voices Unmuzzled: The Aftermath of Legal VictoryDespite the victories, Jessica's status remained largely unchanged among former campaign insiders, emphasizing the pervasive fear instilled by such NDAs. However, her success has potentially lifted the "lever of fear," empowering others to share their stories freely and truthfully.Podcasting and Writing: New Horizons of AdvocacyAs Jessica pivots to new endeavors, including her podcast "Lights On" and a forthcoming book written under severe personal strains, she embodies the spirit of an artist and a fighter. Her ventures are not just outlets of creativity but also calls to action in a time where democratic principles hang in the balance.Closing Reflections: A Call to Action for the Silent WitnessesIn closing, Jessica reflects on the "incredible opportunity" now before those previously silenced. This change heralds a time for outspoken activism, urging everyone to seize the moment and contribute to the shaping of our democracy's future.A Personal Echo: Standing Up to the TideI resonated with Jessica's call to action, sharing my own experience of stepping into the limelight to testify before the January 6th committee. The decision to go public was a transformative one, underscoring the individual's role in confronting the challenges to our nation's foundational truths.Invitation to the ConversationReaders, as you ponder Jessica's story and the broader implications for our society, I invite you to engage with this narrative, share your thoughts, and join the ongoing conversation about maintaining the beacon of democracy in these trying times.Until next time, keep the conversation alive, and the "Lights On."Warmly,Jason Van TatenhoveJason Van Tatenhove, an acclaimed author and consultant, intricately blends his expertise in writing and political activism. He penned the non-fiction work ‘The Perils of Extremism' and several fictional titles set amidst the scenic backdrop of Estes Park, Colorado, such as ‘Colorado's Chance: The Firewalker.' As a consultant with Georgetown Law's Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection and a vocal contributor to MSNBC and CNN, Jason casts a discerning eye on violent political extremism and misinformation, even testifying before Congress on these pressing issues. His writings have found a home in various publications, including Newsweek, Salon, Giant Freakin Robot, and Estes Park Trail-Gazette, seamlessly traversing through diverse media landscapes across Colorado.

Disciple Up #297 The Gospel Coalition's Sex Article By Louie Marsh, 3-8-2023 An article was published on the Gospel Coalition's website last week. It immediately drew criticism, even from people who don't engage in online criticism like Rick Warren. In response TGC published a PDF of the intro and first chapter of the as yet unpublished book to help “give context.” That only drew even more criticism and so as of March 6th, 2023 the link to that PDF became a link to an Open Letter. I'll be reading the letter and then reading some excerpts from the PDF which I downloaded and is no longer available. In the show notes you'll find a few excerpts from the article but not the PDF since I don't own it and don't want to break the law. The link to the letter of apology is below. https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/sex-wont-save-you/ Dear Readers, Thank you for your feedback on the Keller Center's book excerpt from Joshua Butler posted on March 1, 2023. And thank you for your patience while we took the time to listen to our critics and the serious objections from concerned fellows, as well as discuss this matter with our Board of Directors and care for our friend Josh. Earlier this week, we accepted Josh's resignation as a Keller Center fellow. He will no longer lead an online cohort with the center nor speak at TGC23. While he will no longer participate in these events, Josh remains a beloved brother and friend whom we respect and care deeply about. To our fellows and our readers, please forgive us. The Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics is a new effort by TGC, and we are still learning how to work with our directors and our fellows to produce content that will serve our readers in a way that is trusted and wise. To ensure greater accountability with our fellows, we will develop better review systems for our work together. We will also review our publication processes more broadly at TGC and develop plans to ensure greater accountability to you, our readers. Again, thank you for your patience with us. At TGC, we want to provide a venue for healthy dialogue and robust debate on important matters that affect us all. We want to model grace-filled conversations, and we want to learn from one another. In this case, we failed you and hurt many friends. Thank you in advance for your continued prayers. For Christ and his gospel, Julius Kim President The Gospel Coalition Excerpts from the article that started it all Sex Won't Save You (But It Points to the One Who Will) MARCH 1, 2023 JOSH BUTLER I used to look to sex for salvation. I wanted it to liberate me from loneliness; I wanted to find freedom in the arms of another. But the search failed. Sex wasn't designed to be your salvation but to point you to the One who is. Union with Christ Sex is an icon of Christ and the church. In Ephesians 5:31–32, a “hall of fame” marriage passage, the apostle Paul proclaims, “‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.' This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church” (NIV; I've translated proskollao as “cleave”). Paul says both are about Christ and the church. This should be shocking! It's not only the giving of your vows at the altar but what happens in the honeymoon suite afterward that speaks to the life you were made for with God. A husband and wife's life of faithful love is designed to point to greater things, but so is their sexual union! This is a gospel bombshell: sex is an icon of salvation. How? I'd suggest the language of generosity and hospitality can help us out. At a deeper level, generosity is giving not just your resources but your very self. And what deeper form of self-giving is there than sexual union where the husband pours out his very presence not only upon but within his wife? Here again, what deeper form of hospitality is there than sexual union where the wife welcomes her husband into the sanctuary of her very self? Giving and receiving are at the heart of sex. The Bible makes this distinction explicit. The most frequent Hebrew phrase for sex is, literally, “he went into her” (wayyabo eleha). Translations often soften this for modern ears, saying he “made love to her” or they “slept together.” But the Bible is less prudish than we are, using more graphic language to describe what happens in the honeymoon tent. Sexual Union Pictures the Gospel This is a picture of the gospel. Christ arrives in salvation to be not only with his church but within his church. Christ gives himself to his beloved with extravagant generosity, showering his love upon us and imparting his very presence within us. Christ penetrates his church with the generative seed of his Word and the life-giving presence of his Spirit, which takes root within her and grows to bring new life into the world. Inversely, back in the wedding suite, the bride embraces her most intimate guest on the threshold of her dwelling place and welcomes him into the sanctuary of her very self. She gladly receives the warmth of his presence and accepts the sacrificial offering he bestows upon the altar within her Most Holy Place. Their union brings forth new creation. Editors' note: Josh Butler—a fellow at the newly launched Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics—will be leading a seven-week online cohort this spring on “The Beauty of the Christian Sexual Ethic,” based on his forthcoming book Beautiful Union (Multnomah, 2023). The cohort—limited to 200 participants—will meet weekly from May 11 to June 22, 2023. Learn more and register.

WELL, DEAR READERS, it's official. In just a few short days, 2022 will be the year of our past and 2023 our present future.As I sit here reminiscing about the year, I will admit that it wasn't my strongest dating season. It was an endless series of dating disappointments — from one man not wishing me a happy birthday despite not being able to miss that it was my birthday to the guy that asked me out on a date only to cancel a few hours before, but then inviting me to an event along with “six of my hottest friends” — and a little bit in between.Today, I can laugh at moments like these. At the time, I felt like I had lost all hope. In fact, I was rendered speechless. I believe I started dating a woman after all of this, but it didn't take long to discover I'm not actually a lesbian or bisexual. This also proved disappointing because it meant I was back to where I started. Throw in some identity theft that resulted from my purse and wallet being stolen, followed by the loss of my mother and I was happy to just allow whoever stole my identity to have my life. “Here… you manage all of this,” I thought.Oh, did I mention the guy I dated who showed pictures of me to his friend, only for him to tell me they talked about how big my “cans” were? At first, I thought he said “hands” so I was confused. “What do you mean your friend thinks I have big hands?” I asked. Once he clarified, I was left feeling even more confused that I was talking to someone who would even say the word “cans” in the first place. For weeks, I interrogated myself. How did I let this happen?I could go on and on with anecdotes like those I just shared. I could lament and spill tea about all the nonsensical romantic experiences I found myself in, but it would be pointless — with the exception of laughing so hard we would cry. MORE: Ashley Kelsch Offers Advice for the Complicated Holiday SeasonA few days before my mom passed away, I was in New York City for the marathon. I had seen that she called and returned her call from an Uber, unaware that she had also left me a voicemail. We were catching up about Faith and I running the marathon and the subject of my dating life came up. “I heard the excitement of possibility in your voice, Ashley,” said my mother. “I didn't know you still had it in you.”“Let's try together. Shall we? Reflect and collect all you can that was good.I joked with her, saying, “Mom, I've spent most of my adult life dating unavailable Taurus men. (Note: my mom is a Taurus.) I've decided to put a pin in it and just work stuff out directly with you.”We laughed because it was true. That was the last time we talked on the phone. A week later, I saw that she had left a voicemail and listened. She talked about how she'd be riding on my shoulder and be on the tip of my heart. She told me how proud of me she was and that she was with me in spirit. She finished by saying, “So do what you're doing. Keep doing what you're doing. And never look back… Well, just for a break because there are some pretty damn good things to look back on.”This is actually what comes to mind as I think about 2023. Keep doing what we're doing and never look back, except to find some pretty damn good things to take with us. Let's try together. Shall we? Reflect and collect all you can that was good. I'll go first. I reconnected with the man I believed I would always end up with and who promised me no one was going to love more than he does. A story that started 20 years ago concluded with an understanding and ending neither of us predicted — we don't work. Before that truth settled in, we found ourselves living out the things I always dreamed would happen between us. I got to see and get to know my mother again, albeit briefly. I let down all my guards, and for the first time since my childhood, I received her and her love, which is a love that grows stronger each day. This also opened up a relationship with my grandmother. I've yet to find the words to describe what she and I are sharing but I know it to be healing and transformative for both of us. I experienced unconditional friendships. Mark my words — I have the most beautiful, supportive, loving friends in my life. I don't know what I would do without them. These relationships continue to grow and strengthen, even when challenged. I may not know how to pick men, but damn, I've got the friends thing figured out.I could keep going. My mom was right. We don't need to look back too long and for too much. Just grab those precious gems and go. There's no amount of dating douchery that's going to take away from a year that also offered me deep connection and healing with myself and others — romantically, relationally and familial. Though some of that left me with some major vulnerability hangovers, it also left me knowing that I didn't leave anything in the margins.The Sex is Great by Ashley Kelsch is a reader-supported publication.

Editor's Take: Ukraine war has seen Poland shed its EU ‘problem child' tag There's nothing like an emergency to change the political direction. Case in point is Poland, now at the centre of international attention following the missile attack that killed two people on Tuesday (15 November). NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said the attack was “likely caused by a Ukrainian air defence missile fired to defend Ukrainian territory,” a theory that Poland backs. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that Ukraine's forces did not fire the missiles. Further investigations will provide a clearer picture of what happened and who was responsible, but the reaction of world leaders, all of which expressed solidarity with Poland, points a suspicious finger at Russia. It is easy to forget that less than a year ago, Poland and Hungary were the ‘problem children' of the EU, waging a long-running battle with the European Commission on the rule of law and a culture war encompassing migration, abortion and identity. Just over a year ago, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki's speech at the European Parliament in Strasbourg accused the EU, particularly the Court of Justice, of a “creeping revolution” that was undermining Polish sovereignty. That defiance, coupled with the Polish judiciary proclaiming the superiority of its national law over that of the EU, prompted the likes of liberal MEP Guy Verhofstadt to compare Poland's stance to Brexit. In January, Belarus became the latest EU neighbourhood state to weaponise migration by driving migrants, many of them from Iraq and Afghanistan, to the border with Poland to enter the EU. We can contrast the Polish government's angry and hostile approach to those migrants with the welcome it has given to the 1.4 million people fleeing Ukraine who had registered for Temporary Protection in Poland as of 19 September. Morawiecki's administration is no less conservative than it was a year ago – particularly on abortion rights – and its dispute with the EU executive over its judiciary has meant almost €36 billion in post-pandemic recovery funds for Poland remain blocked. But relations with Brussels are now far warmer, particularly in comparison with Viktor Orbán's government in Budapest, which continues to publicly blame the EU's sanctions on Russia for its own economic difficulties. Commission Vice President Věra Jourová said this week that Warsaw is moving “in the right direction” towards receiving its recovery funds in full following “constructive” talks with Poland's Europe minist

Dear Readers,That about sums it up.In the second and final part of our Tokimeki Memorial coverage, Runa and Sara finally managed to get a confession of eternal love from Shiori Fujisaki. The cost? Well... what price can you put on the time you spend in the virtual high school of your youth? Especially when that time is flying by at 400% speed and you're constantly jumping back and forth between weeks in order to manipulate the random chance of the Universe.This week, we're once again joined by Cristaly and KT as we cap off our discussions of the SNES port of Tokimeki Memorial, playing with the recently released fan translation patch that came out earlier this year.

Runa and Sara lay out the various strategies they used to finally meet Shiori under the Tree of Legends, KT tells us about Rei Ijuin, Cristaly explains the incredible design and features of Tokimeki Memorial Girls' Side, and everyone remembers the Konami of the 90's with a sort of fond, bittersweet nostalgia.As Runa mentioned in this episode, you can also find her latest game, the horror-mystery Visual Novel 77 Oleander Avenue at runa-liore.itch.io/77-Oleander!As always, if you enjoy the show please consider giving us a rating and writing a review!

Good Morning, Dear Readers.Today we present to you our final episode covering the Umineko no naku koro ni series, on Volume 8: Twilight of the Golden Witch. We've enjoyed taking this journey with you and even though there is a bit further left to go, we're already looking forward to the path ahead. Please, join us for our final Umineko tea party as we close the lid on the game board and lock it firmly.As a warning to all listeners, this episode has massive spoilers for some of the deepest mysteries of Umineko - Please listen only when you are ready, and prepare yourselves accordingly. This includes discussions of the culprit's identity and even answers to mysteries not resolved in volume 7. Volume 8 carries on from the very end of Volume 7 - Battler presents a game for Ange, one in which she was able to visit Rokkenjima in 1986 and experience the family conference there firsthand. The halloween party, the return of the Witch's Gold, the kindness of her family... none of it is what Ange remembered, none of it what she expected, and none of it rings true to her. As she questions her older brother and demands to know why he's showing her things which couldn't possibly be true, a single black cat opens a window and allows Ange to explore the island as she so desperately craves.A Quiz tournament, vociferous and drunken flirtation, apocalyptic piracy, Caprine Insulaphagy, and a library heist all unfold as the final game nears its end. After spending 12 years waiting, searching, and pelted with the speculations of strangers, Ange has a single choice left to make. That choice, which determines which of Umineko's two endings you receive, will direct the course of her life in the future of 1998, and far beyond. As a reminder, our next and final episode on Umineko (for now) is our Q&A episode which we'll be recording just a few days after the release of this episode! You can send your questions to us on twitter @sayitinredpod via DM, message us on patreon at patreon.com/sayitinred, or email us directly at sayitinred.podcast@gmail.com!

Dear Readers,Be forewarned. This episode, in which we cover Umineko volume 7: Requiem of the Golden Witch, contains a tremendous amount of spoilers, speculations, and extensive discussions of the whodunnit, whydunnit, and howdunnit of Umineko's mysteries. Please take care before you proceed, and when you're ready please join us for a thorough, emotional discussion.The game opens with a funeral - all gather to pay their respects to Beatrice, the Golden Witch of Rokkenjima. Battler lays a book within an empty casket and Virgilia offers a witch's prayer, and then one by one each member of the Ushiromiya family mourns and remembers their mysterious benefactor... including Ushiromiya Lion, the 19-year-old successor to the family's headship.Elsewhere, we see an inquisitor from the courts of Heaven rushing through the streets, cutting down false equivalencies and tearing through heartless deductions to protect innocent bystanders from accusations of murder. We're quickly introduced to the second new character of Volume 7: Willard Wright, who serves alongside Lion as the point of view character for the majority of this episode.Drawn by Bernkastel into a strange amalgam of fragments centered around the Rokkenjima Chapel, Will and Lion are tasked with uncovering the identity of Beatrice's killer. After asking each member of the family about their experiences with Beatrice, after discovering the truth of Kinzo's past and the origin of the gold, and after questioning the miracle of Lion's existence, Will finally comes to understand the heart of the Culprit who orchestrated the Rokkenjima Massacre. Here, at Beatrice's funeral, we will finally hear the answer to the question that has been hanging from her lips since the end of the Question Arcs:Who... am... I?Please keep in mind that in addition to extensive spoilers about the content, characters, and plot of Umineko, we'll be discussing a lot of topics in this episode that are both painful and in some ways deeply personal to us as readers. A list of some of those topics will be included below, as well as general content warnings. Please also be warned that, due to the nature of Umineko's mysteries, simply learning about what sort of similarities there might be between our experience and that of the culprit could constitute a huge spoiler, so take care before you scroll down any further.In this episode, we will discuss a number of topics including, but not limited to: Child abuse including sexual exploitation and coercion, Incest, Transphobia both external and internalized, Intersex issues including non-consensual surgeries, Fascist war crimes in WWII, graphic scenes of violence and murder typical of Umineko, Homophobia both external and internalized, parental abuse and a lot of very tangled, messy parent-child relationships, and a number of other familial abuse topics.Since Intersex issues are not discussed as often both in the mystery genre and in society in general, we wanted to include some resources here.

This week, we reach the end of the Umineko Question Arcs, and the halfway point in our journey through the forests of Rokkenjima. The Golden Witch's game has reached its dramatic climax and Beatrice makes some of her most startling moves in Umineko no Naku Koro Ni, Volume 4: Alliance of the Golden Witch. We begin not in 1986, but in 1998 with Ushiromiya Ange in a world where only Eva returned alive from Rokkenjima. As Ange works backwards from the future to seek the truth of what happened on Rokkenjima, Battler faces one of the most aggressive mysteries yet - Kinzo descends from the study and conducts the first twilight just after dinner, and by midnight of the first day, only Battler will remain alive. While the cousins remain barricaded within the guest house, they can do little else but wait anxiously for phone calls from their relatives and head out, one by one, to meet their uncertain fate. Over and Over, Battler answers the phone and hears about Kinzo's overwhelming magical power, demons and witches holding his family hostage, and even Kyrie's testimony that magic is certainly real, and that Battler should certainly believe in it. Soon, it will be Battler's turn... Dear Readers, how do you think he'll do in his test, with Beato as his examiner? Umineko no Naku Koro Ni is the second series of When They Cry games published by 07th expansion and written by Ryukishi07. It focuses on a series of mysterious murders carried out over the course of October 4th and 5th, 1986, on the island of Rokkenjima. In volume 4, the final game of the question arc, Bernkastel has granted Ange passage onto the gameboard but she becomes bound by the condition that she cannot reveal her name and identity to Battler. Still, with her help, Battler manages to gain more ground in fighting back against the mysteries of Rokkenjima and in particular, gains a powerful tool in the form of the ability to use Blue Truth. By proclaiming a theory in blue that can explain away the magic on the game board, Battler can force Beato to respond in Red or risk defeat at the end of the game. Now, at the end of the question arcs, Battler finally has the stakes in hand to skewer the witch and bring this game to its conclusion. Beato looks at him with a pained smile, taunts him through a cracking voice, and as she bleeds, Battler holds her gently and promises to kill her without fail.Don't lose heart. We're only halfway through, after all. Please remember that KT and Raven are still reading as you listen to this episode, and help us make sure that they don't get spoiled for any of the mysteries and questions they're working hard to understand!

Stanley Kubrick's sublime The Shining breaks all of the rules. It breaks the rules of adaptation by completely upending the plot and meaning of Stephen King's original book. The plot of the movie doesn't really even make sense from a story point of view. King's book is very much about telekinesis inside people and inside the Overlook Hotel. The hotel wants the boy Danny because his powers are so great. In their way is the mother Wendy, strong and protective, who will keep them from getting the boy. They use recovering alcoholic Jack, a writer, to kill off the mother and bring the boy into the fold. In the movie, Jack simply loses his mind inside the potentially haunted Hotel. Kubrick has simplified it greatly, to focus on the claustrophobia of the snowed-in hotel, and how that might break down a marriage. If The Shining was released today it would be trashed by some 200 self-appointed critics who operate more or less as a hive mind that monitors issues of social justice, as every industry controlled by the left does, as much as it does anything else. But in 2021, there is no such thing as a purely great movie unless it crosses all of the t's and dots all of the i's. Amazon Studios has even written it into its DEI guidelines for filmmakers. The left has been consumed by its own righteousness and has become every bit the zealots of the Evangelical Right. The Shining is allowed to mostly exist as a film made before the religion took hold (pre-2014). It would not be made now the same way. Not a chance. First of all, you could probably count on one hand those working today with Kubrick's talent and ability. But secondly, there is no way it would be told the way Kubrick decided to tell it. Kubrick's The Shining would be described as misogynistic, no doubt, by many of those who cover film. The irritation with the actress Shelley Duvall by director Stanley Kubrick and star Jack Nicholson is clearly evident and, dare we say, hilariously funny. But it's funny in that way you might only get if you are a member of Generation-X, that is those of us who really were jaded throughout our young adult lives and preferred subversive art to almost every other kind. We think Taxi Driver is funny. We think Blue Velvet is funny and, yes, we think The Shining is funny. But it's also brilliant. The reason is, quite simply, that Stanley Kubrick was a great director. He took material that wasn't his and made it his. Kubrick's The Shining spoke about the social issues of the time in a quiet whisper, like many of the films of the late 70s did. Feminism, in particular, was taking a hit. If you remember the 80s you'll remember how no woman wanted to admit she was a feminist. It had a negative connotation, at least to any woman who wanted to attract a man. You heard “I'm not a feminist but…” a lot. It took a while for the word to come back into style. Of course, now it barely exists as a stand-alone movement because it's been overtaken by trans rights, or non-binary or LGBTQIA+. Feminism? What's that?Stephen King wrote The Shining in 1977 and is (and was) most definitely married to and influenced by a feminist, his wife Tabitha. So his book isn't the same kind of commentary that the film version of The Shining is. If you are familiar with King's work you know what an important person Tabitha is to him. He has called her his “ideal reader” and there is no way she doesn't get the first pass when he writes a draft. Because of that, even with the awkward sex scenes factored in, his books have always been feminist-friendly. Kubrick, however, was having none of that. The film version exists inside the mind of a man who is driven so insane by his wife and son that he imagines a hotel driving him towards murder. If you had not read the book, that might have been your takeaway. I find the book actually scary and the movie kind of funny. Much of that is due to Nicholson's hammy but hilarious and magnetic performance as Jack. Nicholson appears to be trolling Shelley Duvall throughout, and though she famously had a traumatic or difficult experience on the set, the result is something weird and unexpected. The more distraught she becomes, the harder he is on her and somehow it becomes funny. This is one of the things about comedy that is hard to explain. If you dissect it and analyze it there is nothing funny about it. But it somehow it is. Even though Shelley Duvall is mousy and bullied by Jack in the movie, she still manages to be the feminist hero in the film that she isn't really as much in the book. That's because she is “saved” by the character Scatman Crothers plays in the film (he's killed in the film, leaving Wendy to be the hero). The acting in The Shining is great, the story is pretty good but what makes it timeless is the directing. If you want to know what great directing is, watch this film. Shots like this one. Kubrick doesn't have to make this scene funny. It's supposed to be scary - it's the scene where Hallorann realizes that Wendy and Danny are in danger. But he makes it funny anyway in the two zoom shots. One of the bummers of living through 2021, if you love movies, is that the notion of what makes a great director comes secondary to their gender or skin color. A white man like Stanley Kubrick is expected to recede into the background to allow for marginalized groups to step up and be counted. And while there is certainly nothing wrong with inclusion, when it comes to great directing, enforcing “equity” can mean you are going to watch people praise movies that aren't very good and ignore movies that really are great just to keep things equitable and fair. The best horror movies ever made were directed by men, and those include Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho and The Birds, Nicolas Roeg's Don't Look Now, Brian De Palma's Carrie, John Carpenter's Halloween and The Thing, and They Live, Philip Kaufman's Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Tobe Hooper's Poltergeist, Ridley Scott's Alien, William Friedkin's The Exorcist. I also count Steven Spielberg's Jaws and David Fincher's Gone Girl as horror films, even if they don't fit the traditional definition.Jennifer Kent who directed The Babadook, and Mary Harron who directed American Psycho, are among the shortlist of women whose films are on par with the best of the genre. I don't know why men are better directors than women. Some would say a patriarchal society handed directing to men, or that men are mentored and guided where women aren't. Some even say that men are more visually inclined than women since they were the hunters, where women were the gatherers. Most people I know don't want to have this conversation. It is verboten. We have to all just pretend everything is normal and everything is going fine and the only thing holding women back was sexism. Maybe someday that will be true. Maybe more chances for women will mean they eventually make movies that are as great as the ones men have made. I don't know. I just know that right now they do not. Not if we are counting the greatest films ever made. From my perspective, I love great movies. I hope that the best directors will still be able to make them and be celebrated for them, regardless of whether they are male or female. I do sometimes worry that great movies will have to come second to the ideology going forward. Woke casting or storylines are easy to spot for someone like me, who grew up on movies from different eras. My daughter tells me she and her friends mock films and advertising that are too obviously “woke” because they know when they are being pandered to as any generation would.Great movies have to tell a truth. They have to be true to what they are trying to do. To get there, it is sometimes necessary to, as is the case with The Shining, be willing to risk people saying it is “misogynist.” It might be, but there is no denying that it's funny that a guy like Jack would be trapped in a hotel with a woman like Wendy. Backing off even a little bit from that essential premise and the whole movie falls apart. A great horror film like Jordan Peele's Get Out very much exists in the post-2014 universe of the “woke” because it is from the POV of a black filmmaker whose nightmare is racism. It tells that truth extraordinarily well. But going forward, it seems that the rules can sometimes hurt the story in various ways. Like the idea that only white people can be “bad” and people of color must always be “good.” Or like casting films in order to meet diversity requirements but in so doing throw the whole film off, as I have seen recently in a film that is not yet out. Here, they cast a black female in the role of what is written as a traditional WASP. It's important that she is a WASP because the whole arc of the main character is about being shut out of that unattainable world. The Great Awokening also demands that directors be pure and good from their childhood onward. They also are scolded for the harsh treatment of actors that drove them to their emotional brink, like Shelley Duvall in The Shining or Kim Basinger in 9 1/2 Weeks. The new requirements also forbid casual or gratuitous nudity or maybe even sex scenes. The nudity and sex in Halloween would be deep-sixed, and probably that way too graphic scene in Don't Look Now with Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie that so many for so long insisted was “real sex.”For all of these reasons and many more, I kind of think the best horror films, maybe the best films overall, are going to have to live in the past, in a time when artists were free to tell stories and direct films in ways that didn't necessarily comport to good behavior or keep humanity on the righteous path.

The Bawdy Storytelling podcast is taking a break this week. We stand in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, so rather than talking, this week we choose to shut up, to listen, and to learn. #RIPGeorgeFloyd Song: 'A Change Is Gonna Come' (Sam Cooke) If you’d like to do the same, friends at Inside Podcasting have compiled this list of anti-racism resources. I’ve shared them here with permission from Skye Pillsbury at the Inside Podcasting newsletter. (I subscribe, and you can too at https://inside.com/ ) Dear Readers, We are taking a break from our regular programming today to bring you tangible ways to get informed/stay educated on issues of race, support the #BlackLivesMatter movement, and put an end to police brutality and racial injustice. We collected some of today's content from other sources including She Podcasts, Bello Collective, Antiracism Resources for White People, and educator Camille Buchanan (thanks to all). This is not designed to be a comprehensive list; for a more extensive collection of resources please visit this Google page, or do some of your own digging. It doesn't take much. In peace, love, solidarity, and action, Skye Subscribe and listen to these podcasts The New York Times' 1619 About Race Still Processing Into America Code Switch Black on the Air The Stoop Intersectionality Matters! Momentum: A Race Forward Podcast Pod For The Cause Seeing White Ear Hustle The Nod The Colored Girl Beautiful Also, check out Bello Collective's 21 Podcasts That Confront Racism in America, a tweet from Helen Zaltzman, and this thread from Zach Kahn.

Dear Readers, Over the past year, Windhorse Journal has presented five entries on the topic of TSEWA. The entry you’re now reading will be the sixth. By now, it could be said, we have some kind of fascination with tsewa. Admittedly, six journal entries examining a Tibetan word is perhaps excessive. Since there are two additional tsewa related entries planned for the near future, it might be a little premature to cry “excessive!” just yet. Let’s instead say that our present fascination with tsewa would be more accurately identified as “inspiration”. In 2018, Shambhala Publications released Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche’s Training in Tenderness: Buddhist Teachings on TSEWA, the Radical Openness of Heart That Can Change the World. After spending some time with the book, we’ve concluded that the subtitle’s bold-sounding claim is not at all hyperbolic. If you have not already acquired a copy of this book, we encourage you to do so soon. We have posted several sections from the book in past Journal Entries (#009, #024,#036) if you’d like to sample. We’ve also produced podcasts from our conversations about the book with Kongtrul Rinpoche (#010,#025,#037). Far from some overly-simplistic plea of “can’t-we-just-all-get-along?”, Rinpoche’s presentation of tsewa, the warmth and care that naturally rises in our hearts, is deeply rooted in the ancient wisdom traditions of several streams of Buddhist practice and philosophy. Far from some dogmatic religious tome, Rinpoche’s concerns stand firm and clear in service to address human suffering without agenda or particular affiliation. Tsewa is your innate human inheritance. It is, at the very least, evidenced by the constant concern we experience for our own well-being. It is further indicated by the strong feelings of care we have for those closest to us. Those feelings of warmth, affection and care go a long way toward sustaining us, but through training and contemplation, everybody we encounter can become the genuine object of our tsewa. The positive effects of caring for just a few people are self-evident. If we can learn to extend that care outward, beyond our most intimate circle, then the positive effects of tsewa become immeasurable. It is our sincere hope that you find the ideas in this podcast and in Training In Tenderness as convincing, challenging, inspiring and revolutionary as we have. TSEWA! Michael Velasco
Well, well, well, readers Strange Country is now Centenarians in the podcast world! We have made it to our 100th episode. Beth and Kelly pull out all the stops for you Dear Readers as we tell the tale of D.B. Cooper the man who jumped into oblivion in 1971 with $200,000 in a knapsack from a 727 Boeing. Of course we talk about our periods and our dislike of POTUS SCROTUS- it is all related! What makes this tale strange is that yes, Dan, D.A., D.B. hijacked an airplane pretty successfully, but his identity has never been solved and many people over the years claimed to be D.B. What is your take on the culprit? Also what is your favorite memory over the past 100 episodes? Beth and Kelly would love to hear! We need a little boost this summer. Now is the perfect time to post on Facebook, or twat us, or write to us at strangecountrypodcast@gmail.com Theme music: Resting Place by A Cast of Thousands.
