Get ready to learn Chinese buddy! The HITO boys return to talk about the World Economic Forum and how the DHS funding bill doesn't take enough away from ICE. Trump is doing everything he can to ruin all of our relationships, and people like Canadian PM Mark Carney are standing up… maybe. Democrats are getting excited about securing $20 million in funding for ICE body cams but is that really going to do anything to bring accountability to an organization that has already been brutalizing people on camera?

En 1944, dans l'Australie encore en pleine Seconde Guerre mondiale, une bombe littéraire explose… mais pas avec des armes : avec des vers. Son nom ? Ern Malley. Un poète inconnu, fulgurant, “génial”. Sauf qu'il n'a jamais existé. Et c'est précisément ce qui va faire de cette histoire le plus grand canular poétique du XXᵉ siècle. Tout commence avec un petit cercle d'avant-gardistes qui publie une revue moderniste : Angry Penguins, dirigée par le jeune poète Max Harris, alors âgé d'à peine 22 ou 23 ans. Ils veulent révolutionner la poésie, casser les codes, faire entrer l'art dans une ère moderne. Mais cette avant-garde agace énormément deux écrivains plus classiques, James McAuley et Harold Stewart, qui trouvent la poésie moderniste prétentieuse, obscure… et parfois creuse. Ils ont alors une idée diabolique : prouver que ces poètes “modernes” sont incapables de distinguer le vrai talent du charabia. Leur plan est simple : inventer un poète, lui créer une biographie tragique, puis écrire des poèmes volontairement absurdes — une sorte de pastiche. En un après-midi, dans une caserne de l'armée, ils bricolent un recueil entier, en piochant des phrases au hasard dans un dictionnaire, Shakespeare, des recueils de citations, puis en les mélangeant pour produire une poésie déroutante, pleine d'images surréalistes, d'allusions bancales, de fragments énigmatiques. Ils envoient le tout à Harris sous couvert d'une lettre émouvante signée Ethel Malley, la sœur du défunt : Ern serait mort à 25 ans, laissant derrière lui un manuscrit intitulé The Darkening Ecliptic. Harris tombe dans le piège. Il est bouleversé. Il croit découvrir un génie caché et publie un numéro spécial consacré à Ern Malley, allant jusqu'à commander une couverture inspirée des poèmes. Puis, très vite : révélation publique. Humiliation nationale. Et pire encore : la police saisit la revue, et Max Harris est poursuivi pour obscénité. Il est condamné et condamné à une amende. Mais le twist final est magnifique : avec le temps, beaucoup de critiques ont admis que les poèmes étaient… bons. Les auteurs avaient voulu produire du mauvais modernisme — et ils ont peut-être créé, malgré eux, de la vraie poésie. Ern Malley n'a jamais vécu. Et pourtant, il est devenu immortel.

This continuation of the Introduction to Christian Theology series covers Christ's humiliation.
Two weeks in and 2026 is already showing it's ass. We've now reached the part of the program where the Administration is now shooting white women in the face and lying about it like police do when they kill an unarmed Black person. And people (not Black people. We tried to tell them) are shocked. Things are going swell. Kriss is joined by Justin and Brandon to discuss topics from the shooting in Minneapolis to the dangers and stupidity of A.I. Topics for the show: Multiple videos and analysis show what happen to Renee Good and yet the administration is just flat out lying to everyone's face about what happened (much like police do when they shoot Black people) JD Vance has nothing better to do than do a press conference to tell all of us not to believe our lying eyes The people telling us we need to just accept A.I. seem to believe we'll just "figure it out" when nothing in history shows that The people in charge of A.I. are the worst people we know and nothing about what they're doing is about the benefit of humanity Guest: Justin and Brandon @ljay90.bsky.social @phenomblak.bsky.social Like what you hear?

A MAGA brawl broke out on social media on Friday between Donald Trump's team and Marjorie Taylor Greene, after the administration accused Greene of setting up Trump to be confronted by protesters. The White House was referring to the episode last September when an angry citizen said "mean" things to Trump at a DC restaurant, and they're accusing Greene of leaking Trump's dinner plans to the public in order to set him up to be mildly inconvenienced for about a minute. The entire administration is just beyond insane.Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie have been forced to ask a federal judge to step in and force Pam Bondi's Department of Justice to start complying with the law. Specifically, the law is the Epstein Files Transparency Act that requires Bondi to release all available Epstein files, and she has already blown past multiple deadlines without a care in the world. The judge, and Congress, have the option to sanction Bondi in many ways over her failures, the question is whether or not they will use the tools at their disposal to hold her accountable. Experts are worried that a recession is imminent at this point, and the dismal jobs report that was released on Friday has only exacerbated those fears. The report showed that December job gains were far less than expected, and they mostly happened in low wage sectors. To make things worse, the economy only added half a million jobs throughout ALL of 2025, making it one of the worst years in recent history. Trump is wrecking the economy and the job market, and everything is about to come crashing down.The Trump administration is currently workshopping an idea to bribe citizens of Greenland with $100,000 a piece to join Donald Trump's side as he continues to push for a takeover of the territory. This sum is not only implausible considering the problems we have in the United States that could be solved with that money, but it is also incredibly insulting to residents to think that they would switch loyalty and be willing to be ruled by an authoritarian for such a small amount of money.This probably doesn't come as a shock to anyone, but Donald Trump is not sane enough to remain in office, and his diminished mental capacity is exactly why we have the 25th Amendment. But people need to really stop and think about how insane his behavior truly is - the nonstop meltdowns, the manic mood swings, the inability to distinguish fantasy from reality - all of these are things that would get the average person booted from their jobs and possibly placed in a hospital.

Exposure and Public Shaming as Conflict Management Tools: A Critical AnalysisIn this back episode from the High Conflict Institute podcast, Bill Eddy and Megan Hunter tackle a challenging question that many face when dealing with difficult workplace situations: Is exposing someone's problematic behavior an effective strategy for creating change? While the impulse to "name and shame" may feel justified, especially when facing reputation damage or distortion campaigns, the hosts explore why this approach often backfires with high conflict personalities.When dealing with individuals who demonstrate high conflict behavior patterns, the threat of exposure frequently escalates rather than resolves situations. The hosts examine how cluster B personality traits like being domineering, vindictive and intrusive can make public confrontation particularly counterproductive.Key Questions Addressed:Does exposing problematic behavior lead to meaningful change?When might the threat of exposure be strategically useful?How should organizations balance accountability with escalation risks?Core Strategic Insights:Private criticism tends to be more effective than public shamingSkills-based coaching offers better outcomes than humiliationNatural consequences work better than intentional exposureThrough examining both legal precedents and business case studies, the hosts demonstrate why investing in skill development and structured interventions often proves more valuable than reactive exposure strategies. The episode provides concrete examples of more effective approaches, from healthcare settings to corporate environments.Drawing on Harvard research and real-world examples like the Harvey Weinstein case, Bill and Megan illustrate the complex factors organizations must weigh when deciding how to address problematic behavior. They emphasize that while public exposure may occasionally be necessary, it should typically be a last resort after other interventions have been attempted.Additional ResourcesBooks:It's All Your Fault at Work: Managing Narcissists and Other High-Conflict People5 Types of People Who Can Ruin Your LifeBIFF at Work: Your Guide to Difficult Workplace CommunicationSLIC Solutions for Conflict: Setting Limits & Imposing Consequences in 2 1/2 StepsArticles:Fire or Keep High-Conflict Employees?Should Employees with High-Conflict Behaviors Be Given a Chance to Change?Professional Development:New Ways Training Programs (workplace, mediation, divorce)Conflict Influencer Class (for personal situations)Custom Training for OrganizationsHigh Conflict Institute Consultation ServicesConnect With Us:Visit High Conflict InstituteSubmit questions for Bill and MeganBrowse our complete collection in our online storeFind all episode notes on our websiteImportant Notice: Our discussions focus on behavioral patterns rather than diagnoses.

The Misery & Humiliation Of Being The FALLBACK Guy by Greg Adams
Episode Summary:In this episode of Explaining History, Nick explores the complex and often suppressed memory of China's recent past. Drawing on Tania Branigan's Red Memory, we delve into the heart of Beijing—Tiananmen Square—and unpack its layers of history, from the May Fourth Movement of 1919 to the founding of the People's Republic in 1949 and the tragedy of 1989.Why does the portrait of Mao Zedong still gaze over the square, despite the catastrophes of the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution? How does the Chinese Communist Party use "Red Tourism" and curated museums to construct a narrative of national rejuvenation while burying the trauma of its own making? From the "Century of Humiliation" to Xi Jinping's "Chinese Dream," we examine how memory is not just history, but a tool of state legitimacy.Plus: A reminder for students!

The hottest cuckolding teases don't start in the bedroom—they start in the mind. Venus kicks off season six by blowing up the narrow, porn-fed definition of cuckolding and replacing it with a living spectrum of desire, from a coy perfume spritz before a date to the electric shock of doing cleanup under a bull's gaze. Along the way, Crystal Welch joins in to flip the script on “humiliation,” showing how it can excavate old shame and transform it into intimacy, trust, and pulse-quickening arousal.You'll hear dozens of concrete ideas to try now: coded calendar entries, “bull-only” lingerie, blindfold-and-narrate scenes, service bells and task rituals, reconnecting sex that detonates with one sentence, and chastity twists like a tiny bell on the cage. Then we climb into higher intensity with charged names, ritualized nudity, key control shenanigans, strap-ons named after bulls, and diabolical games like a year-long cuck bingo card. Every tactic is grounded in consent, negotiation, and a shared goal: press the right buttons without crossing the line.Vote for the show for an AVN award: https://avn.com/awards/voting/favorite-adult-podcast#the-venus-cuckoldress-podcastSupport the podcast and become a fan - https://www.venuscuckoldress.com/Queens-quarterCrystal Welch - https://www.venuscuckoldress.com/cwPillow Talk Live Chat January 16th: https://www.venuscuckoldress.com/eventsHeated Rivalry - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt35495073/❤️Venus Connections❤️ - Matchmaking for loving cuckolding relationships and female-led relationships.

In this powerful Thinking Talmudist episode on Gittin 55b, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the Talmud's explanation for the destruction of the Second Temple and Jerusalem: three tragic incidents rooted in people failing to consider consequences ("hardening the heart"). The primary story involves Kamtza and Bar Kamtza—a host mistakenly invites his enemy Bar Kamtza to a banquet, then publicly humiliates and ejects him despite offers to pay for the entire feast. The silent rabbis' inaction emboldens Bar Kamtza to slander the Jews to Caesar, leading to war and destruction.Rabbi Wolbe highlights the "wrongful humility" of Rabbi Zechariah ben Avkulas, who blocks both offering Caesar's blemished calf (fearing it sets a precedent) and killing Bar Kamtza (fearing misperception of penalty)—prioritizing technicalities over saving lives and the Temple. Parallel stories (rooster/hen destroying Tur Malka; carriage shaft destroying Betar) underscore senseless hatred and violence among Jews enabling Roman victory.Themes include: actions have reactions ("play stupid games, win stupid prizes"); silence in face of injustice is complicity; Jewish strength lies in words/persuasion, not violence; and baseless hatred (sinat chinam) remains the core reason for ongoing exile—urging self-reflection to merit redemption._____________The Thinking Talmudist Podcast shares select teachings of Talmud in a fresh, insightful and meaningful way. Many claim that they cannot learn Talmud because it is in ancient Aramaic or the concepts are too difficult. Well, no more excuses. In this podcast you will experience the refreshing and eye-opening teachings while gaining an amazing appreciation for the divine wisdom of the Torah and the depths of the Talmud._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by David & Susan MarbinRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios to a live audience on December 12, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on December 30, 2025_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thinking-talmudist-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1648951154Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0cZ7q9bGYSBYSPQfJvwgzmShare your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content._____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.

Is 2025 the year the European project finally hit the wall? In this episode, we argue that 2025 serves as a massive historical inflection point—comparable to 1933, 1968, or 1989—marking the definitive end of the post-Cold War era.We explore the "perfect storm" battering the continent: the return of Donald Trump and the removal of the American security umbrella, the accelerating de-industrialization of Germany, and the demographic cliff-edge that makes mass migration an economic necessity despite the violent rise of the far-right. From the strategic failures of centrists like Macron and Starmer to the paralyzing energy crisis, we ask the hard question: Is Europe facing its own "Century of Humiliation"?Key Topics:Why the "End of History" (1989-2025) is officially over.The impact of the US National Security Strategy on European industry.The Centrist Trap: Why copying far-right rhetoric is failing.The Demographic Crisis: Replacement rates vs. political reality.The collapse of the German car industry and the China dilemma.Explaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

Episode 94 of the Podcast for Social Research is a live recording of an event held at BISR Central to mark the publication of political theorist Roxanne Euben's Driven to Their Knees: Humiliation in Contemporary Politics (Princeton University Press). The text examining visual, verbal, and embodied rhetorics of humiliation across a wide variety of Arabic sources alongside related especially American examples, showing how humiliation is understood as the "imposition of impotence by those with undeserved power." Euben joins BISR faculty Ajay Singh Chaudhary and Suzanne Schneider for a wide-ranging conversation about the place of humiliation in contemporary politics. Together, the three ask: What sort of political projects does the experience of humiliation authorize? How does humiliation rhetoric encode and constitute gendered political subjects? And how might such rhetoric galvanize collective political struggle? The Podcast for Social Research is produced by Ryan Lentini. Learn more about upcoming courses on our website.

PREVIEW: David Shedd attributes China's rampant theft of Western technology to a deep-seated cultural narrative of historical humiliation. Chinese intelligence officers justify stealing everything from military to modern tech as a necessary means to achieve national rejuvenation and ensure China is never again oppressed by the West.
Another shameful loss and more fallout from the CP3 saga, what a week (it's only Tuesday.) Adam, Will, and Chuck talk the shitfest that was the game against the Grizzlies, wonder if the latest Chris Paul article does anything for anyone, and talk potential trades
Soren establishes both the reality of Christ's Humiliation and His Exaltation. It is exaltation through humiliation. Both are required for an understanding of how God used what looked like overwhelming defeat for ultimate victory. An application of what this looks like in our own lives is explored.
Dave Hughes has a complicated relationship with his ego.
This a Messianic Torah reflection on Genesis 37:1-36, focusing on the life and story of Yosef (Joseph), son of Ya'achov (Jacob), and its prophetic and spiritual significance. It explores the patriarchal sojourning in the promised land, the familial dynamics, and the parallels between Yosef's experiences and the life and ministry of Yahoshua Messiah (Jesus). Patriarchal Sojourners in the Promised Land Ya'achov settles in the land of Canaan, the land promised by Yehovah, continuing the pattern of the patriarchs sojourning in the promised land without fully possessing it, as noted in Hebrews 11:8-10. Ya'achov returns to Hebron, the home of his father Yitschaq, who never left this place . The Story of Yosef as the Story of Ya'achov The narrative shifts from Ya'achov to his son Yosef, whose story is central to the continuation of the covenant promises. Yosef is portrayed as a vessel chosen by Yehovah to preserve Yisra'el, despite rejection and persecution by his brothers. His life is seen as a prophetic shadow of Yahoshua Messiah . Family Dynamics and Yosef's Role Yosef, at 17 years old, is shepherding his brothers' flocks and assumed to be the "Son of the Covenant." His favored status by Ya'achov and his unique character set him apart. The Hebrew term for "tended" implies Yosef shepherded his brothers, especially those of Bilhah and Zilpah's sons. Reuben, the eldest, though complicit in Yosef's near enslavement, intervenes to save his life, unknowingly cooperating with Yah's plan . Ya'achov's Love and the Birthright Question Ya'achov's love for Yosef, his son of old age and Rachel's firstborn, causes jealousy among the brothers. Yosef receives a special garment, the "ketonet passim," often interpreted as a long-sleeved or multi-colored tunic symbolizing his favored status and possibly his appointment as clan leader, replacing Reuben due to his transgression . Brothers' Hatred and Rejection of Yosef The brothers' hatred stems from Ya'achov's love for Yosef and Yosef's role as a family tattler. Their rejection of Yosef reflects a rejection of their father and Yehovah. This familial rejection parallels how Yeshua was rejected by Judah for being beloved by His Father . Yosef's Prophetic Dreams and Their Impact Yosef shares two prophetic dreams symbolizing his future authority over his brothers. The first involves sheaves of grain bowing to his sheaf, and the second depicts the sun, moon, and eleven stars bowing to him, representing his family. These dreams intensify the brothers' hatred, though Ya'achov ponders their meaning carefully. These dreams foreshadow Yosef's exaltation in Egypt and reflect a common ancient Near Eastern motif of paired dreams . Preparation for Yosef's Trials and Glorification Yosef's journey toward exaltation involves trials and refining, much like the future glorification of Yeshua Messiah, who foretold the hardships His disciples would endure. Yosef's obedience to his father's mission parallels Yeshua's obedience to His Heavenly Father's will . Yosef's Mission to Find His Brothers Ya'achov sends Yosef to check on his brothers pasturing in Shechem, a dangerous area with a troubled family history. Yosef's persistence in seeking his brothers despite challenges parallels Yeshua's mission to seek and save the lost. A mysterious man redirects Yosef to Dothan, possibly an angelic figure, highlighting divine guidance in fulfilling Yah's plan . The Brothers' Conspiracy and Reuben's Intervention The brothers plot to kill Yosef but Reuben intervenes, forbidding bloodshed and planning to rescue Yosef later. Reuben's actions reflect a complex family dynamic and his attempt to restore his firstborn responsibilities despite past failings . Yosef's Humiliation and Sale into Slavery Upon meeting Yosef, the brothers strip him of his special robe, symbolically removing his dignity, mirroring how Yeshua was stripped before crucifixion. They cast Yosef into a cistern and later sell him to Ishmaelite merchants for twenty pieces of silver. This act, intended to destroy Yosef, ultimately fulfills Yah's plan for salvation . The Brothers' Deception and Ya'achov's Grief The brothers deceive Ya'achov by presenting Yosef's bloodied robe, claiming he was killed by a wild animal. Ya'achov mourns deeply, rending his clothes and refusing to be comforted, expressing his profound loss and grief . Yosef's Journey in Egypt Yosef is sold to Potiphar, an Egyptian official, marking the beginning of his rise in Egypt and the unfolding of Yah's providential plan . Spiritual Reflections on Dreams and Prophecy The document reflects on the significance of dreams as divine communication in Hebrew tradition, noting that prophets often received messages through dreams. Yosef is seen as a prophet whose dreams reveal Yah's Will. The symbolism in Yosef's dreams connects to broader prophetic imagery, including the woman clothed with the sun in Revelation 12, representing Yisra'el . Messianic Parallels Between Yosef and Yeshua The narrative draws extensive parallels between Yosef and Yeshua Messiah: Both are beloved sons of their fathers. Both are appointed to shepherd Yisra'el. Both face rejection and hatred from their brethren. Both suffer humiliation and are ultimately exalted. Both serve as instruments of salvation for Yisra'el and the nations. Both experiences demonstrate how divine plans prevail despite human evil . The teaching concludes by emphasizing that Torah readings like this one serve as shadows of greater spiritual realities to come and encourages readers to find further Messianic insights within the text .

In this layered, vulnerable, and intellectually powerful episode of the Kink Series, we go far beyond basic BDSM concepts and drop directly into the psychology, ritual, and emotional architecture of kink with Mistress Audry Lu Black — a professional dominatrix, lifestyle FemDomme, educator, and respected kink community leader. Together we explore how bondage, ritual, humiliation, sexual sadism, and power exchange can serve not only erotic expression but also nervous system regulation, trauma processing, and emotional liberation. What begins as a conversation about rope quickly expands into a rich discussion about worship, devotion, fear release, identity, surrender, and the transformative role of a Dominant who leads with intention and precision. This episode opens the door to understanding kink as both art and psychology, and how deep D/s can create safety, stillness, and meaning for those who crave structure, containment, or catharsis. • Why 20% of the body's energy feeds the brain and how cognitive load, overthinking, and perfectionism show up in bondage scenes • Bondage as nervous system regulation — creating stillness, presence, and relief for anxious or neurodivergent minds who struggle with meditation • Somatic containment through rope and restraint for anxiety, trauma, and hypermobility conditions (including Ehlers-Danlos and other connective tissue differences) • The paradox of safety through restriction — how removing choice, movement, and anticipated pressure can reduce anxiety and soothe a dysregulated nervous system • Femme Domme philosophy and energetic leadership — what it means to embody dominance, hold power, and create psychological structures for surrender • Sexual sadism and humiliation — how intention, emotional tone, and negotiated meaning differentiate harm from healing, and cruelty from catharsis • The psychology of worship and groveling — why submission, devotion, and being at Her feet can be grounding, erotic, or spiritually significant • Ritual in kink — how structure, ceremony, and symbolic actions frame scenes, build trust, and regulate the body's response to intensity • Lifestyle vs. professional domination — the differences in purpose, boundaries, emotional bandwidth, and the Dominant's role in each dynamic • Deep-dive negotiation practices — understanding limits, desires, tone, chemistry, and psychological triggers before entering a scene • A full, realistic BDSM pre-scene negotiation role play so listeners can hear how safe, ethical, consent-based kink is structured before any play begins • The Dominant's internal process — emotional labor, reading the submissive's physiology, and creating a safe container for intensity • How humiliation can be affirming, transformative, or erotic depending on the submissive's psychology and agreed roles • Bondage as an anchor for embodiment — helping the mind exit constant vigilance and enter stillness, surrender, or erotic presence Touch Me There: Vaginal Reflexology, Squirting Secrets & Orgasmic Magic — available here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0AsOZmGPvMiR3pQfVZKfxR?si=fFDg8SQqS7OCQQn5ptYGoA Connect with the Guest Mistress Audry Lu Black Podcast: Placemaker for Perversion Substack: https://audrylublack.substack.com/ Official Website: https://mistresslublack.com/ Mentioned Resources Hani Cheng – Talk to the Peach: Sensual healing, feminine pleasure, and reconnecting with your body (Listen here) Hani Cheng – Reflexology: Mapping female genitals with reflexology for pleasure and body awareness (Listen here) Shameless Care — Use code PLEASME for $15 off at-home sexual health testing: shamelesscare.com Eve's Substack — Q&A, workshops, & exclusive content: https://pleasemewitheve.substack.com/ Please Me Podcast Patreon — Extended episodes & bonus content: patreon.com/PleaseMePodcast SDC.com — Use code 37340 for a free trial membership World Vision Support survivors of typhoon & earthquake: worldvision.org Learn more about your ad choices.

Have you ever wondered why being put down turns you on? Why a Domme's laugh, a sharp comment, or a teasing jab about your size leaves you harder than ever? You're not alone — today we do a dive deep into one of kink's most misunderstood, yet profoundly powerful dynamics: erotic humiliation.We explore:How something that sounds painful — even shameful — becomes a gateway to ecstasy. How we, as Femdoms, use humiliation to unlock subspace. Why does being laughed at, judged, or playfully degraded feel so right for so many submissives? And crucially — what separates consensual, joyful humiliation from emotional harm?Ms Olivia opens the conversation with a powerful truth: submission is freedom — and so is humiliation, in its own paradoxical way. It's about trust, surrender, and transformation. We hear from real listeners like SissyTeri Cum Slut, whose arousal skyrocketed after a casual SPH comment post-blowjob: “She said, ‘It's easy when you're not too big' — and holy shit, did that make me feel amazing. Better than the orgasm.”We break down Small Penis Humiliation (SPH) as a common entry point — not just as a fetish, but as a psychological key that unlocks deeper submission, feminization, and sissy training. From Pee Wee to Sissy Missy, many of today's most devoted sissies started here. But we also issue a vital warning: humiliation is not a kink to wing it with. Unlike trying a new toy or JOI, it touches your core identity. Benji shares how bringing it up with a partner backfired — resulting in real, unsexy humiliation. That's why consent, context, and aftercare are non-negotiable. You must be seen, judged, controlled — and still desired.And here's the twist: humiliation doesn't have to be mean. It can be joyful. smallPenisJumpingJack loves CFNM games where women laugh with him, not at him. simp4demi craves the sound of his Goddess laughing as she puts him in his place — because it means he's hers, fully used, fully accepted.This episode is about joy-centered domination, where teasing feels like inclusion, not exile. Where “Awww, look at you trying so hard with that tiny lil thing. Bless your heart” isn't cruelty — it's connection.We end with a message: Enjoying humiliation doesn't make you weird. It makes you human. But don't navigate it alone. Seek guidance. Learn the nuances. And remember — sometimes, laughing at yourself is the sexiest thing you do all week.Listen now. Reflect. Then DM us:What's your first memory of humiliation turning you on?Have you ever tried to explain this to a partner?What do you wish you'd known sooner?Olivia's blog: Experienced Mistressolivia@EnchantrixEmpire.comErika's blog: Intelligent Phone Fantasyerika@EnchantrixEmpire.comDISCORD: LDWOlivia and LDWErika

Finding Peace in Overwhelm: A Christian Guide to Anxiety, Burnout, and Trusting God Through Hard Seasons (Faith-Based Encouragement, Holistic Healing, Christian Mental Health) Introduction: What You'll Learn in This Episode If you've been feeling anxious, numb, exhausted, or spiritually drained, this episode is for you. We dive deep into Christian mental health, holistic healing, and what it really looks like to trust God when life feels heavy. You'll learn: Why seasons of overwhelm are normal — and biblical The identity trap many Christian women fall into What Scripture teaches about endurance, grief, and human weakness How Jesus handled anxiety, agony, and the weight of His calling This episode is especially for Christian women who feel overextended, weary, or like they're “not enough” — moms, high achievers, and women navigating transitions, burnout, or identity struggles. Episode Overview In this vulnerable conversation, we explore Scripture, real-life hardship, emotional healing, and how God strengthens us through every season — even when we feel like we're drowning. From James 1 to Ecclesiastes 3 to Jesus sweating drops of blood in Luke 22, this episode gives a deeply honest look at pain, perseverance, and faith. ⏱️ Time-Stamped Highlights 00:00 — A Prayer for Thanksgiving Week & A Needed Reset A heartfelt encouragement for the holiday season plus an invitation to reset your energy through a faith-rooted workshop. 00:53 — Why James 1:2–4 Feels So Hard (But Necessary) The tension between hating trials yet wanting the maturity they produce. 01:23 — Generational Strength & Why We Can't Shield Ourselves From Hardship Reflecting on family, resilience, and how God grows us through challenges. 02:22 — Soul Care Class: When God Brings Hidden Things to the Surface A behind-the-scenes look at how spiritual growth often exposes old wounds. 03:20 — Job Loss, Homeschooling, and God's Provision The rollercoaster journey of jobs, layoffs, and trusting God for timing and flexibility. 04:19 — A “Perfect” Job That Turned Into Overwhelm When work-from-home turns into work-all-the-time. 04:43 — Humiliation, Pressure, and Feeling “Not Enough” A moment that exposed deep identity struggles. 05:40 — The False Identity of Performance How tying your worth to productivity quietly destroys your peace. 07:38 — When Scripture and Self-Care Don't Lift You Out of the Funk Honest reflections on depression, anxiety, numbness, and spiritual dryness. 08:36 — The Mask People Wear at Church & Why You're Not Alone The pressure to appear okay when you're not. 09:36 — “Just Keep Showing Up”: Encouragement for Moms and the Weary The small but powerful act of continuing to show up every day. 10:06 — Sleepless in Seattle, Tom Hanks, and the Power of Just Breathing A surprising emotional parallel to grief and perseverance. 11:03 — Ecclesiastes 3: There Is a Season for Everything Why your pain is temporary and purposeful. 12:32 — Jesus in Gethsemane: The Ultimate Example of Agony and Surrender The humanity and anguish of Christ — and why it matters for your suffering. 14:55 — Your Pain is Seen, Your Season Will Not Last Forever Final encouragement: Jesus understands your pain, and this will pass. Key Takeaways 1. Hard seasons are part of spiritual growth. God uses trials to strengthen us, deepen endurance, and strip away false identities. 2. Your worth is not tied to productivity or performance. Christian women often carry silent pressure to “hold everything together,” but Scripture gives you permission to rest and be human. 3. Emotional burnout is not a sign of failure. Feeling numb, anxious, or overwhelmed isn't a spiritual weakness — it's a sign you're carrying too much alone. 4. Even Jesus felt agony so intense He sweat “like drops of blood.” Your emotional and physical symptoms of stress are not a shock to Him. He understands the full weight of human suffering. 5. Seasons of pain don't last forever. Ecclesiastes reminds us that life moves in God-ordained rhythms. Your current season is temporary. 6. Just keep showing up. One breath at a time. One day at a time. Faithfulness is less about perfection and more about returning to Jesus again and again. Scriptures Mentioned James 1:2–4 — steadfastness through trials Ecclesiastes 3 — seasons of life Luke 22:39–44 — Jesus in Gethsemane, sweating like drops of blood Call to Action: Reset Your Energy With God at the Center If you're feeling depleted, overwhelmed, or spiritually dry, now is the time to reset with Jesus — not January 1st. ✨ Grab the “Reset Your Energy” Workshop A gentle, faith-rooted, 50-minute experience to help you breathe again, calm your nervous system, refresh your spirit, and restore peace.

The Democratic base is in an unhinged uproar this morning after a handful of Senate Democrats cut a face-saving ‘deal' to reopen the government. The Senate broke the Chuck Schumer-led filibuster last night after eight Senate Democrats caved and joined Republicans in their bid to pass a revamped plan to end the shutdown. And now, the calls to primary Schumer are growing!

In the mid-19th century, China experienced its greatest civil war. It was a conflict that set China on a course that eventually led to China's Century of Humiliation and the fall of the Qing Dynasty. It wasn't just a massive civil war; in terms of total lives lost, it was far and away the largest war in history up until that point, and by some estimates, it might even have been as or more devastating than the world wars of the 20th century. Yet, despite being one of the greatest conflicts in history, it remains largely unknown in the modern world.
