#also girl the UN has historically failed to protect a lot of people even with more support and impetus and focus

[mariacallous]

On March 20, for the second time in its history, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) convened an Arria-formula meeting that focused specifically on the integration of the human rights of LGBTI+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and other sexual and gender minorities) people in conflict into the work of the council.

Arria-formula meetings are informal, ad hoc gatherings that allow the convening member to invite parties outside the council’s membership to testify. The session’s chairperson, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield, stressed that this was the first time that Victor Madrigal-Borloz, the U.N. independent expert on sexual orientation and gender identity, had briefed the Security Council.

The significance of a Security Council meeting on LGBTI+ issues is not to be underplayed. Madrigal-Borloz and his office have created significant momentum since receiving the mandate to investigate these issues in 2016. The mandate has proved an important tool for engaging with national and local LGBTI+ civil society organizations, gathering on-ground insight during country visits about experiences of peace and conflict that have previously been absent from these international conversations. The U.N.’s most conservative organ is now moving toward entrenching and mainstreaming the protection of queer people as a mainstay of peace and security policymaking globally, as well as integrating attention to sexual orientation and gender identity in its work moving forward.

But there are still difficult questions around the future course of such measures. Is going down the UNSC route the right way to ensure the protection of queer people? How can the council ensure not just participation, but also leadership for deciding the next steps for international action from those outside the global north? How can actions account for the many diverse populations within the wide community of LGBTI+ people as a part of not only rethinking security responses, but also thinking about gender as a dimension of peacebuilding? What is the role that the broader U.N. LGBTI Core Group will take in bringing forward this agenda?

Speaking before the meeting, Thomas-Greenfield stated her desire to see momentum build toward the formal inclusion of LGBTI+ issues on the agenda. The potential integration of these issues and queer perspectives into future Security Council work could establish a UNSC-level mandate for the protection of queer communities.

We do not dispute that it is the UNSC’s responsibility to protect queer people globally. Indeed, we have each individually argued—in research on queering atrocity prevention and the responsibility to protect, and queering the women, peace and security agenda, as well as at the Arria-formula meeting—that the integration of queer people and perspectives into frameworks for peace and security is essential. For us, queering means not only highlighting the insecurity some people face because their gender and/or sexuality is constituted as abnormal or perverse by cisheteronormative standards, but also adhering to a queer political commitment of always interrogating dominant power structures and examining who benefits from the status quo. All people have a sexual orientation and gender identity. All people should, therefore, already fall under the work the council does to ensure international peace and security—regardless of their identity.

What troubles us, however, is that the United States and United Kingdom are leading the integration of LGBTI+ issues in the work of the UNSC while their domestic situations for queer people, especially transgender folks, are becoming increasingly fragile.

In the United States, there are an increasing number of legislative moves against queer people. Targeted legislation against the community includes what critics call the Don’t Say Gay law and the Stop WOKE Act, both passed in Florida and promoted vocally by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, as well as the rollback of federal guarantees for reproductive rights with the repeal of Roe v. Wade.

In the United Kingdom, reported violence against queer people doubled between 2016 and 2021. And the country has been seized by a narrative of transphobic panic pushed by both mainstream media and politicians of both parties, resulting in the U.K. government’s halting of nationwide reforms of legal gender recognition as well as the blocking of Scottish reforms to the Gender Recognition Act, despite broad support for reform amongst the public. In his end of mission statement following his U.K. country visit, Madrigal-Borloz stated that he has a “deep concern” about the rise in anti-LGBT harassment, threats, and violence in the country.

Most worryingly, even with the worsening U.S. and U.K. domestic records and international virtue-signaling on queer issues, many other countries—including fellow Security Council members—have adopted anti-queer politics in nationalist discourse and as a key feature of their challenge to liberal world order. Russia has marketed itself as the world’s defender of so-called traditional family values for more than a decade, positioning itself in opposition to Europe, which it has constituted as “Gayropa” in its foreign policy. Part of that foreign policy includes a gendered and sexualized element, in which Russia presents itself as the savior of the morally corrupt Gayropa. Promoting so-called traditional values in opposition to supporting LGBTI+ rights was also a remarkably successful tactic in Colombia leading up to the failed peace referendum in 2016, and the appeal of such values is gaining further international support.

In China, there are no explicit legal protections against discrimination or violence on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. Increasingly, groups that were established to support the LGBTI+ community are targeted and censored by the state, and there has been a resurgence in the propagation of the idea of queerness as correctable and foreign. This accompanies a shrinking space for advocacy, as the state’s censorship and security apparatus explicitly targets any positive queer representation and discourse. This has included a systematic campaign to eliminate “effeminate” men (niangpao) from mainstream media.

In Europe, countries such as Hungary and Poland have passed legislation that paints queer people as dangerous threats to order and the fabric of society. As we see the political currency of so-called traditional family values spread and harden internationally—along with a growing resistance to the imposition of “Western” queer values, Gayropean values, or so-called woke agendas—the UNSC adopting a queer agenda risks whipping up existing tensions about sexual morality, tradition, and culture in human rights debates, and adding fuel to the increasing attack on LGBTI+ people that is already underway.

Taking all of this together means that proponents of a queer agenda in peace and security chart a very cautious path forward when considering positioning the UNSC as a defender of queer people. Russia, a state actively perpetuating a discourse about the threat that queerness poses to international order and so-called tradition, and the United States and United Kingdom, states where there is significant and increasing polarization on LGBTI+ issues and gender more broadly, sit as permanent members of the UNSC. That means that there are huge risks in how Western, highly militarized states approach this move to, as Thomas-Greenfield put it, “institutionalize and regularize the Security Council’s approach to LGBTI+ issues.”

The often broad-strokes nature of UNSC resolutions leaves little room for the social and political nuance that is important when responding to queer people’s vulnerabilities. As such, a focus on the role of the UNSC, to some states and civil society actors, may end up reading as the imposition of Western values; an argument that already has incredible discursive traction among homophobic actors and often violent consequences for those targeted by anti-queer violence.

UNSC-led initiatives may also serve ends that are antithetical to its initial purpose: namely, justifying interventionism in a similar way to other interventions motivated to protect against gendered harms, such as the post-9/11 invasion of Afghanistan that was clad in colonial tropes concerning the subordination of Afghan women.

Language that dehumanizes and instills fear can quickly spread from traditional and social media, leading to the escalation of violence based on identity. Past instances of atrocity crimes, such as those perpetrated by the Nazis and those that drove the disintegration of former Yugoslavia, demonstrate that the persecution of LGBTI+ individuals and queer communities frequently serves as a precursor to the persecution of other marginalized groups. Lessons can be learned from organisations such as Colombia Diversa, which documented the integration of LGBTI+ folks in the Colombia peace process and is leading the way on queer approaches to peace and security.

Other research informed by LGBTI+ people working in conflict-affected societies can guide these next steps. The aforementioned study on queering atrocity prevention, funded by the U.K. government, called on states to engage in LGBTI+ inclusion and protection first and foremost at a domestic level and in a bottom-up, context-sensitive way, rather than adopting resolutions that may inadvertently make certain queer people in certain spaces more insecure and subject to targeting for persecution or eradication by actors seeking to use homophobia and transphobia for political gain.

A 2022 report titled Breaking the Binary, also funded by the U.K. government, recommended including LGBTI+ rights in national action plans; facilitating gender sensitivity training for international donors, international agencies, and civil society; developing LGBTI+ inclusive risk indicators and monitoring systems; investing in locally rooted organizations doing work to challenge heteropatriarchal gender norms and values; broadening the definition of “woman” used in Security Council resolutions 1325 and 1820; and undertaking “joint internal learning, planning and implementation across different teams working on LGBT+ rights, on the WPS [women, peace, and security] agenda, and on conflict.”

We see the greatest opportunity for success in the building of contextually sensitive and less broad-stroke approaches to queering peace and security by working through the U.N. Human Rights Council and the Joint Office for the Prevention of Genocide and the Responsibility to Protect. These U.N. organs are well-placed to work with states and local partners to build devolved mechanisms to protect queer people whose needs differ over space and time.

With a new independent expert taking up the mandate in October 2023, we urge them to make an unflinching effort to integrate queer people, queer perspectives, and LGBTI+ rights into peace and security practices, particularly through the aforementioned U.N. organs, but also through the Peacebuilding Support Office.

We are all too familiar with the SJWs’ “muh feelings” pose. We are also familiar with the Leftists’ manipulative stance, be it through their sanctimonious bullying, guilt-tripping, appeals to a pseudo-consensus, veiled threats, or constant emotional blackmailing. The maelstrom of emotions the Left plays with makes tempting to withdraw emotionally. We might be led to think that the higher good lies in “cold, hard facts” alone. But if we do so, we easily forget that cold facts do not prompt for any action, and if we merely describe while trying to get emotionally disconnected, we cut ourselves off the game.

Passions are part of the game

When the infamous Karl Marx wrote that modern capitalism “drowned the most heavenly ecstasies of religious fervour, of chivalrous enthusiasm, of philistine sentimentalism, in the icy water of egotistical calculation,” he had a point. The bourgeois world of classic modernity is emotionally lacking, and both the bohemian artistry and Communist radical politics stepped up to fulfill the void. This historical point is still relevant today. Conservatives fail to make stands because they are much more passionate about their personal interest than about defending anything they pretend to stand for. SJWs, on the other hand, went very far into shrieking and bullying because they are usually passionate for their points. Different motivations lead to different outcomes. And a strong motivation, not to say a deep or passionate commitment, greatly helps to build a strong character.

The far-left was able to pick up people’s passions because the bourgeois would not, and perhaps could not, do that. The bourgeois idea of progress was about people becoming farm animals, individuals reduced to the status of producers and consumers in a world where nothing really new or interesting could appear anymore. In such a world, there is no need for passions and no need for politics, isn’t it? Well, the individuals would not let themselves get boiled down to the status of mere economical agents, and many preferred embracing some ridiculous strand of new-age spirituality, worthless artistry or even becoming Communists than living through the bourgeois-conservative nothingness..

Rejecting the passions and emotions, or at the very least trying to put them aside as to ignore them, made men weak and unable to take a stance. It has also made women unhinged, shameless, and willing to do anything for short-term pleasure, as no men were able to give them a proper sense of boundaries. Plus, passions being powerful motivators, the far-left mastery when it comes to stirring some made it tremendously powerful as well.

We must face passions, not as an annoyance, but as a resource that has to be mastered. This is true for ourselves and others. First, when we are aware of our emotional states without being directly prompted (“triggered”) by them, we gain the ability to choose consciously what we do and want to do, and can follow our own intuitions instead of getting framed by an alien narrative. Second, when we are also aware of others’ emotional states, we can steer them in a specific direction.

The latter is especially true for women: today, they follow fashions and MSM approval, when not following their own sluttiness and attention-whoring… but if men were able to reward, shame, and inspire proper passions in them, they would follow us instead. If we want this to happen, we have to take over the empire of passions and stir up some emotions in the public’s hearts, be it through discourse, artwork, or daily conversations. Here are three emotions I think we should be keen to stir.

1. Empathy

According to Dr. Neel Burton,

Empathy can be defined as a person’s ability to recognize and share the emotions of another person, fictional character, or sentient being. It involves, first, seeing someone else’s situation from his perspective, and, second, sharing his emotions, including, if any, his distress. (Burton, Heaven and Hell, chap.21, p.153)

As empathy fits well with maternal instinct and motivates nurturing tendencies, women are naturally prone to it. Up until a very recent time, they took care of babies and small children, participated to local charities, worked in shelters for the homeless or went through menial but important tasks as nurses. They did so because their natural empathy motivated them to act this way.

By contrast, a striking feature of feminism is that it destroys womanly empathy and nurturing tendencies. From a feminist point of view, men are enemies or at the very least potential oppressors and children are a burden. Feminism reverses the empathy, turns it into defiance or even hatred. Worse: after women have lost their ability to feel positively towards the men they should at least respect, cultural Marxism stirs their natural empathy towards “minority” identities. Thus we see grrls caring about thugs, invaders, or weirdos, who are all positively portrayed in the media, more than they care about what should be their community.

The lack of empathy is also a problem among white men. Though black men often exert violence against each other, the majority of them always bonds when it comes to attacking the depleted white majority. The same goes for any community out there: they empathize with each other more than they would ever empathize with us. We, white men, are the only ones who do the exact opposite by being hypercritical against each other when we should actually be supportive and look at the positive rather than the negative.

There should be a lot more empathy towards us than there currently is. Others should be more sensitive to our plight, suffer when we suffer, or at least feel compelled to suffer when we do. We are the proximate [prochain?], not the Big Other. We, too, should have more empathy among ourselves: nice guys, for example, should not be considered as “jerks” or “bastards,” as say some red-pilled guys who seem to have internalized a negative framing, but as misled victims who proved some nobility by trying to conciliate “respect” for women with the healthy desire to get a deeper relationship. Along the same lines, the working- or middle-class average Joe who got disenfranchised should be painted on a positive and humane light so that wealthy liberals cannot ignore or merely sneer at him.

2. Hope

Here is an emotion the Left has really abused from. Remember 2007-8, when the first “black” president was supposed to end the racial tensions in the US as well as the neocon foreign wars? Democrat activists at that time wrote without batting an eyelid about their hope for a world without losers, for an outcome where everyone would win. Then, the racial tensions have never been so high, the white majority is more dispossessed than ever, and the same liberals who were trumpeting about a world without losers have no shame calling us losers—from their choices and politics. Hope has been abused from, and we have to take it back. In fact, we have already started to.

Hope can be defined as the desire for something to happen combined with an anticipation of it happening. It is the anticipation of something desired… To hope for something is to desire that thing, and to believe, rightly or wrongly, that the probability of it happening, though less than 1, is greater than 0. (Neel Burton, Heaven and Hell, chap.14, p.103)

Trump is a wild card who comes with no guarantee, for sure. He still gives us something no Obama could ever give us—hope. The Alt-Right, manosphere, and the whole flourishing of high-quality dissenting intellectual efforts give us hope as well. Someone wrote that “the Alt-Right represents the first new philosophical competitor to liberalism, broadly defined, since the fall of Communism.” Someone else, here on ROK, noticed that more and more women were fed up with misandric grievance-mongering and longed to become mothers. These trends are more than interesting: they seem to point towards a better future that we still have to conquer.

On the other side, the liberal status quo and Hillary in particular mean pure hopelessness. If Hillary gets elected, we will have even less jobs, anti-white and anti-male organized groups will attack even more, the wealthy globalists will get fatter at our expense, and so on. Interestingly, liberals today use arguments of a conservative kind: when they shriek something as “the 5 last US presidents tell you not to vote for Trump” or “the Alt-Right and deplorables are un-American,” they look more like McCarthyists than hippies. They are the establishment clinging to the status quo and worsening. We are the embodiment of hope for a positive change.

3. Love

While hope should be spread among any decent people and is pretty straightforward once we agree on the intrinsic value of its object, love appears a bit trickier. In a relationship, whoever loves the other most is dominated whereas who loves less has more room to take action. If a man falls in love, he falls in the sense that he gets dumbed down, pedestalizes the girl, who in turn will get bored and look for a more challenging partner. Thus, seduction must be used to stir love in women: they must love us as well as their children. Both as a mistress and a mother, both as sexual and nurturing, a woman exerts love.

In men, love must be exerted in a more distilled and thoughtful form: when we protect our dear ones, toil for them, care about their interests, these efforts are an expression of love as well—although this form of love must be more distant as to allow ampler room for action. In any case, the feminine element must love the most and more directly.

It should be added that masculine and feminine can be conceived, not only as absolute, but also as relative terms. Esotericists consider that we are all “feminine” when considered under a higher point of view: the most fierce, courageous and risk-taking warrior remains “feminine” relatively to a genuine spiritual authority, and any human is “feminine” relatively to God as the ultimate Father. The Bible compares the good ones to a bride that shall get married to God (Revelation, 19). Hinduism recommends bhakti or devotion, i.e. religious love, to those belonging to the warrior caste, whereas the spiritual authority is more “masculine” as it enjoys a higher and more direct knowledge of God. These considerations might seem a bit far-fetched, but they were already highly relevant before the tiniest stint of modern degeneracy was born. Just remember that being in love is acceptable for a man as long as it never equates to pedestalizing a woman.

Conclusion

Passions and emotions matter. If we set them aside as irrelevant, someone else will push our emotional buttons—and the girls’—and spin us in no time. The philosopher René Descartes wrote that “all the good and the bad in this life depend from the passions” and that we had better be able to use them wisely. Ironically, the word “Cartesian” now denotes a logical, rationalistic, supernatural-denying mindset. This is accurate for the young Descartes, who was among the top scientists of his time, but tosses aside an important twist: the philosopher eventually lost his only daughter, Francine, and the sadness he felt while mourning her made him aware of the power of emotions. Yet, instead of being dominated by said emotions, Descartes strove to gain cogency about them, and he wrote a very interesting little treatise to expand a whole theory of the “passions of the soul.”

Our case is the same. Most if not all of us have been blue-pilled since infancy. Cultural Marxism was shoveled down our throat by school teachers, media figures, movies, social pressure. At each step of this process, our emotions were stirred and directed by spinsters so that, for example, we would feel a high empathy for so-called minorities while ignoring the homeless “white males” dying of cold at winter.

Ride the tiger of your own emotions and of (some) others’ as well if you don’t want sinister globalists to.

https://www.returnofkings.com/11010/how-to-control-your-emotional-state

We all have our ups and downs. Some days you feel on top of the world, you ooze a sexy masculine confidence that women love whereas other days you couldn’t be bothered to shave — you scowl at the thought of doing anything interesting and avoid all outside contact. Many guys accept this with a “que sera, sera” mentality. They feel it is just the natural ebb and flow of things, that taming your emotional state would be too chaotic of a task.

Those who do wish to change usually use hokey terminology talking about “energy” and the “universe.” They’ll seek guidance from another source so that they do not have to take responsibility for letting their emotions get out of check. People also seek a quick cure for a continual state of happiness, but what they do not realize is that happiness is transient.

I do believe there is a way to wrangle your emotions that relies on you, your habits and the power you have to respond to various stimuli. Essentially you must minimize the negativity and maximize the positivity in your life by altering certain habits.

Minimize Habits That Lead To Negativity

Take a moment to think about any time you’ve lost control of your emotions. When did you last get angry, depressed, hateful, etc.? What do you do when you’re out talking to girls that hurts your success? Do you have unreasonable limiting beliefs? Do you believe you always need to be happy to be successful? Do you get frustrated when you have anxiety because of any of the above?

If you think about the above long enough and are mindful when such emotional states occur you will begin to notice a trend in what triggers them.

For me the biggest habits that lead to a negative state of mind, in which I lacked motivation, was depressed, and stayed inside all day, were my nutritional habits. I started to recognize a pattern: I’d go out drinking or eat highly processed foods, I’d wake up the next day tired and dehydrated, then I’d stay inside all day watching movies because I didn’t want to go to the gym or talk to people. The cycle would just endlessly repeat until the natural ebb and flow of things took me to a high point.

Maximize Habits That Lead To Positivity

Repeat the exercise above. When was the last time you felt on top of the world, when did you last feel invincible, when did you last have no anxieties? When were you on fire when talking to girls, what were you doing that made you so successful? What were the thoughts running through your head?

Again if you pay attention you will begin to see patterns. You’ll start to realize what habits lead to a great mood.

For me I felt the best when ‘rewarded’ with something. Whether it was having great sex, sharing something with a friend, new PRs in the gym, busting my ass in the library and getting a good grade, or learning a new skill.

The Keystone Habit

Roosh brought up keystone habits in a recent article titled “One Approach A Day.” Essentially it is an innocuous habit that has a much larger effect than planned.

For me I started a few keystone habits: I started the day off with a nice cold glass of lemon water and my vitamins. In doing this I started drinking more and more water leading me to be less dehydrated, more energetic and making better food choices.

I also made a rule that as soon as I start talking myself out of something reasonable I would force myself to do whatever it was I was trying to rationalize my way out of. Maybe I’d start thinking “I’m kind of sore and I still haven’t seen the new episode of Game of Thrones, I think I’ll go to the gym later.” I know I wouldn’t go to the gym later so I would immediately get up and put on my workout gear. Just by doing this I started getting in the mood for lifting — I’ve also heard of guys packing a gym bag every night and leaving it in their car.

The peaks and troughs of our emotional state should not define us. As a man, whether it be through eliminating negative triggers or forming positive habits, you should be fully in control of your emotions. Use the power of a keystone habit to enact much larger scale change so you can be in a perpetual state of positivity, or at the very least, neutrality.

what i read in january

too many books....

the unwomanly face of war, svetlana alexievich (tr. from russian) oral history of soviet women who served in ww2 (whether as soldiers, pilots, field nurses, laundresses etc, plus partisans) - interesting and harrowing, but honestly (& this just comes with the format i guess but it still made the book less enjoyable for me) pretty repetitive. 3/5

my sister, the serial killer, oyinkan braithwaite dark & snappy novel about beautiful ayoola, who has a habit of killing all her boyfriends, and her resentful but protective older sister korede, who always ends up cleaning up after her - until ayoola starts dating the man korede is in love with. not suuuper substantial, but an entertaining, twisty read with some hidden depths and great dark humour (ayoola about her trip w/ a boyfriend: ‘it was fine.... except he died’). 3.5/5

the private memoirs & confessions of a justified sinner, james hogg (uni) fucking wild ride of a book about (and mostly narrated by) a young calvinist radical who believes that, like, since he is one of the elect of God and his place in heaven is guaranteed no matter what he does, he might as well DO SOME MURDER!!! it’s fun, the theology is absurd, and one of the main characters (our young calvinist’s shapeshifting friend) is probably the devil! 4/5

friday black, nana kwame adjei-brenya collection of mostly speculative/dystopian short stories, some of which work very well, some of which don’t really. the stories based on racism in america are mostly very good, satirically heightening current issues to absurd levels while still feeling true. some others are not as good, including one where a man talks to the ghosts of the fetuses his girlfriend just aborted (like. bad.) the last story, a post-nuclear-apocalypse groundhog day type thing, is brilliant and i almost wish he’d turned into a novel/novella instead. 3.5/5

mythologies, roland barthes god, i wish french crit was always as fun as roro ‘kill the author’ barthes making fun of the myths of american evangelicalism and french imperialism. 3/5

moon of the crusted snow, waubgeshig rice set in a northern canadian first nations reservation, where one autumn, electricity, communications etc. fail. when no news (or scheduled deliveries of food etc) come from the south, the community has to figure out how to get everyone through the winter, relying increasingly on traditional survival skills. quiet & reflective twist on the post-apocalypse/social collapse narrative; occasionally the writing is a bit clumsy, but i’d still recommend it. 3.5/5

the haunting of hill house, shirley jackson a psychological haunted house story, more quietly disturbing than downright scary, but i really enjoyed the way the characters interact with each other and the visceral wrongness of hill house. also interested if anyone has done a queer reading bc i def feel like there’s some subtext between eleanor and theodora that plays into the horror (time to check jstor). and i just love jackson’s style of writing. 4/5

tentacle, rita indiana (tr. from spanish, i read the german translation) weirdo dominican queer post-apocalyptic time travel book involving yoruba/voodoo mysticism, time travel via anemone, art collectives, a trans protagonist who is the chosen one, destined to save the ocean, and a mention of einstürzende neubauten (automatic 0.5 point bonus). really cool! there is a lot of sexual & gendered violence so uh. that’s something to be aware of. 3.5/5

the orenda, joseph boyden ugh. so this is a historical novel set in 1600s northern america, centred around the huron/wendat nation and three characters: the wendat warrior bird, a jesuit missionary called christophe who lives among the wendat, and the young iroquois girl snow falls, who is... forcibly adopted?? by bird to replace his murdered family. interesting concept and a promising first third or so, but unfortunately the book is way too long, the characters and their relationships seemed shallow and their development was more Told than Shown to me, and it just never really came together for me. plus, halfway through i found out that boyden has apparently been either greatly exaggerating or completely making up his own native heritage so uh. bad. 1.5/5

nichts was uns passiert, bettina wilpert smart & very precisely observed story about an alleged rape in a lefty/academic social circle. anna claims jonas raped her at a party, while jonas says the sex was consensual. anna eventually goes to the police and as rumours begin to spread, the people around them begin to take sides and try to figure out how to deal with this thing that Does Not Happen To Us (the title) and is definitely not Done by People Like Us. in a smart twist, this is presented as testimonies collected by an unnamed first-person narrator who questions jonas, anna, their friends and family, which i found very effective as a narrative tool, making everything just ambiguous enough. ends on a legalese gutpunch. 4/5

o caledonia, elspeth barker lovely dark book about janet, outcast at school and in her family, always too intense, too earnest, too clumsy, as she grows up first in wartime edinburgh and then in an old house in the scottish highlands, feeling at home only among animals and the wild & harsh & romantic landscape. lyrically written, sometimes morbid and grim (the book opens with janet murdered at 16 y’all), but often funny and bittersweet as well. loved it! 4.5/5

espedair street, iain banks look, this is a novel about a burnt-out rockstar looking back on his rise to fame and wild life, which is like. incredibly unappealing to me from the beginning. tho i gotta give props to banks for managing to make me at all invested in this story with good writing & well-engineered weirdness - so i guess i need to read something from him where the very premise does not make me roll my eyes. 2/5

eiger dreams: ventures among men & mountains, jon krakauer i would never willingly go mountain-climbing but i sure am highkey obsessed with reading about it. this is a collection of short essays about mountain climbing, some about krakauer’s own experiences (trying to climb the eiger nordwand etc), some about special areas of climbing, infamous climbers etc, and krakauer is a good writer & funny dude (don’t smoke weed in your tent while on an expedition lmao). krakauer says in his foreword that “most climbers aren’t in fact deranged, they’re just infected with a particularly virulent strain of the Human Condition”, which is a great sentence, but based on this and into thin air it seems like that’s in fact the same thing! 3.5/5

fool’s errand (the tawny man #1), robin hobb y’all. i missed my silly silly son fitz who is now significantly older than me, and i was immediately captivated even tho the first 200 pages are mostly fitzy’s Hermit Homesteading Routine with Occasional Visitors. i loved that shit. i loved fitz being reluctantly-but-maybe-not-that-reluctantly being caught in court intrigue & schemes again even more. anyway, hobb’s strength as always is amazing characterisation that makes every character immediately seem real & rich and the relationships between those characters, which are nuanced and fraught and painful and wonderful (also when will fitz & the fool kiss JESUS). also it made me cry a lot about nighteyes, so well done there. 4/5

anyway i am now forcing myself to not just abandon all else and just speed thru tawny man but i really really want to so everything else is going quite slowly

New Post has been published on https://toldnews.com/sports/tracy-edwards-maiden-was-either-met-with-antipathy-or-aggression/

Tracy Edwards: 'Maiden was either met with antipathy or aggression'

“It was such a dreadful word then,” explains the sailor, who that year made history and defied critics by leading the first all-female crew to sail around the world.

Had Edwards not been expelled from school — for smoking and drinking during a school trip — she may have never discovered her love of sailing and become the trailblazer she is today.

Unbelievably, it was Edwards’ well-traveled mother who suggested she pack her bags and go traveling to get some life experience abroad — and alone — after she was left without a degree.

“My mom was an extraordinary woman and she could see very clearly where I was headed and the direction I was carrying on,” Edwards tells CNN Sport.

“She realized I needed to go away from where I was and kind of make many mistakes and find my way.”

‘I didn’t realize there were people like me’

It was in Greece where Edwards, aged 17, began working on charter yachts.

“I found my feet and realized that I’d felt contained before and it gave me the freedom to discover what I wanted to do,” she says.

“Every boat I worked on had a great skipper who was a mentor and a ragtag bunch of crew members who I realized were like me.

“I didn’t realize there were people like me and I felt like I fit in for the first time in my life, that no one really cared about anyone’s background or why we were there.”

READ: The return of the greatest team you’ve never heard of

Fast forward 10 years and Edwards noticed the significant lack of women around her at sea. She was a young cook and the only woman on-board South African boat Atlantic Privateer during the 1985-86 Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race — now known as the Volvo Ocean Race.

“Out of the 230 crew in the race, four of us were girls,” Edwards remembers. It was at this point that she began asking herself, “I wonder if girls could do it?”

‘Nobody had ever seen a bunch of girls working in a boatyard’

It was only then, when Edwards began looking at creating an all-female crew, that she says she had her first real experiences of sexism or misogyny.

“I had never been told before that I couldn’t do something — mostly because I was where I should be — in the galley,” Edwards says as she rolled her eyes.

“But that was the reaction! I think if the reaction hadn’t been so strong I’d probably moseyed through it but it made me thing ‘whoa, what’s going on?'”

After mortgaging her house in 1987, Edwards bought a dilapidated sailing yacht, Prestige, and brought it back to the UK where she, and her crew, began working on it.

“We had no money so we were just a bunch of girls with tools,” Edwards laughs. “No hard hats, no health or safety — flip flops and shorts, wandering around with chainsaws.”

She says they were the talk of the boatyard.

“Nobody had ever seen a bunch of girls working in a boatyard so there was a lot of ‘do you want help with that love?'” Edwards laughs.

Over six months, Edwards and her team pulled the yacht apart, redesigned it and rebuilt it from scratch.

“The best thing about doing it was we knew every inch of her — we laid every cable, every pipe, we put every single thing in. We did everything ourselves.”

Even after rebuilding what became to be known as Maiden, the all-female crew continued to face sexism within the industry.

“Maiden was either met with antipathy or aggression — not really much in between,” Edwards says. “As we got more successful it got worse — they did not like that at all.”

And successful they were, Maiden finished second in its class during the 1989-90 Whitbread — winning two of the legs. It was the best result for a British boat in 17 years — and still remains the best result for an all-female crew.

It was an historic moment that shocked the sailing world. It was also here that she noticed her views on feminism slowly changed.

“I realized that one of my early interviews one of the journalists question me ‘are you a feminist’ and I go ‘oh God – no, no, no.’ … but then later on I noticed I (started) saying ‘yes I am because I believe in equality.'”

After the race in 1990, Edwards sold Maiden and the 12 crew members scattered across the globe.

‘Bankruptcy was a defining moment in my life’

Though with triumphs, came defeats. Edwards began managing sailing programs and created the Oryx Quest in 2005 — the first round the world race to start and finish in the Middle East. The race sent Edwards bankrupt, after the Qatari sponsor failed to pay up its £6 million sponsorship.

“Recovering from that is very hard,” Edwards said.

“It was something that happened to me that I couldn’t prevent. I would have never chosen to go down that route; It was a defining moment in my life.

“It was hard, I left home with nothing at the age of 15 and had done very well for myself by the time I was 36 and then lost it all by the time I was 43. It’s a very difficult landscape when you’re 43 years old and you think ‘I’ve got to do that again.’

“You realize that when you’re younger you have no fear — you haven’t failed yet. You have that overwhelming feeling that ‘of course I’m going to succeed.'”

Edwards went on to work for the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Center and returned to university to complete a psychology degree.

“It’s something I’d never have done if I hadn’t of been disillusioned with the sailing world. I helped write the 2009 resolution on the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child which is not something I had planned to do!”

Maiden found rotting in the Seychelles

Then, in 2014, Maiden reentered Edwards life — after she found out it was rotting away in the Seychelles — an archipelago of islands in the Indian Ocean off East Africa.

“She’d been there for two years already — unbelievable,” Edwards says. “This man who left her there didn’t tell me.”

Members of the public who recognized Maiden as the yacht that sailed into the history books in 1990 contacted Edwards to tell her of the yachts’ dilapidated state. It was when a naval officer reached out to her and said they were talking about deep-sixing it that she knew she had to do something, so she turned to crowdfunding and in 2016 repurchased Maiden.

“She was in the water, not lifted out or anything, and they hadn’t really looked after her. We beat them down on the price a lot when we got there and thought ‘this is actually a wreck, this is no longer a boat.’

“Bringing her back was just awful because we were looking at our work — our names were still on the lockers, the navigation station was just like I’d walked out and left it — it had all the old equipment.”

Maiden returned to Southampton, on the south coast of England, where a year-long restoration began — in the very same shed where Edwards and her crew back in 1989 worked on the yacht before the Whitbread race. Edwards and Maiden is also the subject of a feature length documentary, directed by BAFTA award-winning director Alex Holmes.

Educating girls

Edwards has embarked on new chapter of her life — this time with “The Maiden Factor” — a not-for-profit organization that involves Maiden going on a three-year world tour to raise money and awareness for girls’ access to education. The tour began in September.

Edwards says it dawned on her when she was completing her degree that she was privileged enough to live in a country where education was available to all.

“I was handed an education on a plate (at 15) and I decided ‘no, I already know everything and I’m just going to throw that back in your face.'”

According to UNESCO estimates published in 2016, 130 million girls between the ages of six and 17 are denied an education.

“The whole focus (of The Maiden Factor) is empowerment of women, celebrating where we got to and recognize how to get a bit further forward,” Edwards says.

In early August she also walked away with the Lendy Ladies Day trophy at Lendy Cowes Week for her efforts and for championing the role of women in sailing.

“Everything about it feels really good,” Edwards says of the three-year world tour. “Maiden is inspirational, she changed my life and I think most of the crew would probably say the same thing.

“We can inspire other women and girls and get people involve and very visibly demonstrate something no one believed in.”

Almost 30 years after she and her crew made history, Edwards says she’s only now beginning to appreciate everything she’s accomplished.

“For the first time in my life I’m proud of everything we achieved,” she says, “and it’s taken me a lot time to get there.”

The new documentary film – MAIDEN – was released by Dogwoof on March 8.

Donald Trump, softy

Donald Trump is a tough guy — just ask him. The word “tough” appears 25 times in “The Art of The Deal,” and he even wrote a book before the 2012 election called “Time to Get Tough.” He has mused publicly about beating up protesters at his rallies and about cops roughing up suspects in custody. His signature catchphrase on television was a curt, poker-faced dismissal; no president in memory has exhibited such a range and intensity of hostile facial expressions and gestures.

He is the first president since James K. Polk who doesn’t have a White House pet.

But in some ways Donald Trump is also a softy — a side of him that gets a lot less attention, but was on display Thursday morning in the back-and-forth with Democratic leaders in Congress over a deal, or an agreement, or an understanding, on extending Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) protections for undocumented young people who have grown up in America. Whatever one calls it, and whether or not it ends up as a bill Trump signs, it’s clear that the president who campaigned on ending DACA on “day one” has taken a closer look at what it would mean to deport “800,000 young people, brought here, no fault of their own.”

“Does anybody really want to throw out good, educated and accomplished young people who have jobs, some serving in the military?” asked Trump, who once advocated doing exactly that — when he didn’t hold the reins of power.

Does anybody really want to throw out good, educated and accomplished young people who have jobs, some serving in the military? Really!…..

Donald Trump, softy.

This is the Donald Trump who was moved almost to poetry by the tragic death of Harambe, the silverback gorilla who was shot by keepers to protect the life of a child who had fallen into his enclosure. “I think it’s a very tough call,” he mused afterwards. “It’s amazing because there were moments with the gorilla the way he held that child it was almost like a mother holding a baby. It looked so beautiful and calm.”

This is the Trump who has admitted that he actually doesn’t like to fire people, an observation confirmed by no less an authority on the president’s psychology than his friend and ally former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who told CNN: “I think Donald Trump doesn’t like to fire people, period.” His preferred method of dealing with recalcitrant or inept subordinates is to humiliate them on Twitter and hope they take the hint, avoiding an awkward confrontation — a tactic that notably failed in the case of Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

And for all that he seems not to care that much about animals, Trump loves babies, as he announced at a rally in Virginia last year when an infant began crying in the middle of his speech. “I love babies. I hear that baby crying, I like it. What a baby, what a beautiful baby. Don’t worry,” he reassured the mother from the rostrum. Admittedly, he changed his mind a few minutes later when the child interrupted him a second time–“Actually, I was only kidding – you can get the baby out of here”—but surely he deserves credit for the original impulse. Can anyone imagine what would happen to a baby who started wailing in the middle of a speech by Kim Jong-un?

It was Trump’s love for babies that helped propel him to bomb a Syrian airbase as punishment for a chemical-weapons attack on civilians, in which, as he said in his address to the nation, “Even beautiful babies were cruelly murdered in this very barbaric attack.”

The available records suggested that Trump hasn’t been especially generous with his own money, for a billionaire, although it’s impossible to know for sure since he hasn’t released his tax returns. During the campaign, conservative media frequently reported on incidents of generosity from Trump’s past. Some — such as sending $10,000 to reward a bus driver who stopped a suicide — appear to be genuine, spontaneous acts of charity. Others — such as comping a hotel suite for actress Jennifer Hudson after she suffered a family tragedy — seem to fall more in the category of a publicity stunt. Some had elements of both, as when Trump sent a check to help pay for a disabled girl’s medical care — while the youngster was actually appearing on the Maury Povich talk show. At least one incident that was widely reported — involving Trump paying off the mortgage of a passing motorist who stopped to help change a tire on his limousine — appears to have been an urban legend that has been told over the years about various millionaires including Henry Ford and Bill Gates.

These episodes tend to have one thing in common: They involve discrete actions on behalf of a specific individual. A cynic might point out that in terms of publicity garnered per dollar spent, that’s by far the most cost-efficient way to disburse charity. You can give $10,000 to every hero bus driver in the country for a small fraction of what it would cost to, say, underwrite a serious national effort to combat suicide. But to give Trump the benefit of the doubt, he may well have been genuinely moved by these individual tales of heroism or woe. He is, after all, a star of reality TV, a genre that deals in personal struggles and triumphs, not abstract issues and causes. He is notoriously impatient with position papers and complex problems.

Which comes to mind now, in the wake of his willingness to reconsider ending DACA. After taking no action all year on his campaign promises to end it, the White House recently set a six-month deadline to wind the program down — but also invited Congress to pass a version of it that he implied he would sign. Notably, he sent Sessions out to make the announcement, while himself reassuring current enrollees (via Twitter) that they have “nothing to worry about.”

For all of those (DACA) that are concerned about your status during the 6 month period, you have nothing to worry about – No action!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 7, 2017

Was this just Trump bowing to the political reality that ending DACA is broadly unpopular, even among Republicans — although an article of faith with his core supporters and some of his key advisers, including the now departed but reportedly still influential Steve Bannon? Or could it, just possibly, reflect a changed emotional calculus, in which a faceless mob of “aliens” have taken on individual identities as what are sometimes called “Dreamers,” real people whose lives would be devastatingly upended by being thrown out of the country they grew up in? Is the tough guy tough enough to stand up to his own base? Is there the bleeding heart of a liberal inside the chest Donald Trump so loves to thump?

Donald Trump, softy. The world waits and wonders.

Iranian Supreme Leader Critical of Rouhani Education Plan

Iran’s best chief on Sunday criticized the authorities of President Hassan Rouhani for selling a “Western-motivated” United International locations schooling plan which his hardline allies have said contradicts Islamic standards.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s comments came ahead of Can also 19 polls, wherein the president is in search of re-election.

“On this united states, the idea is Islam and the Koran. This isn’t always an area where the faulty, corrupt and negative Western lifestyle can be allowed to unfold its effect,” Khamenei told a gathering of educators, consistent with his internet site.

“It makes no feel to simply accept this kind of file in the Islamic Republic,” Khamenei stated, regarding the schooling 2030 plan proposed by the United Countries Instructional, Medical and Cultural Company (UNESCO).

Khamenei did not give details of his opposition to the UNESCO plan, however hardline commentators in Iran have said its promotion of gender equality in schooling contravened Islam.

“How can a so-referred to as worldwide frame that’s below the impact of the brilliant powers allow itself to assign duties for nations with distinctive histories, cultures, and civilizations?” stated Khamenei, who frequently warns of a “gentle struggle” hooked up by means of the West to topple Iran’s Islamic authorities.

Khamenei has the final say over policy in Iran and has, again and again, distanced himself from Rouhani in current weeks.

However, he has stopped short of backing any of Rouhani’s hardline opponents, who include influential cleric Ebrahim Raisi and Tehran Mayor Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf.

A U.N. Human rights file issued in August 2015 said Iran had almost accomplished regular enrollment and gender parity in any respect Educational stages.

But the record stated that gender-ratio regulations followed in 2012 had caused a fall in enrollment of woman students in universities.

Why an Educated, Professional Iranian-American Woman Supports Donald Trump

Born in Tehran, I’m glad to be legally inside the America. As an ECU university knowledgeable woman expert, I might gladly support Donald Trump within the well-known election this fall. This is a good kingdom, and the clean-yet-ironic sign that it is able to be even better underneath Trump’s unorthodox management is the outstanding breadth of competition to the Republican Party’s front-runner.

It is apparent why Democrats oppose Mr. Trump, however, contemplate these questions. Why would insider Republicans spend tens of millions to derail their personal Birthday party’s the front runner? Why stop a person bringing millions of new electorate, lining up in report numbers at primary polling precincts? Solution – due to the fact political insider’s puppy special pastimes are threatened, period. Everything else is arguably a planned ward off, detraction or distraction.

Mr. Trump is obviously no flesh-presser. It is part of his entertaining, un-Pc attraction. On the forty,000 foot level, Mr. Trump’s overseas and home guidelines make excellent, not unusual feel.

Instance, why would the U.S. receive:

– A half-trillion-dollar annual exchange imbalance with China, – Allow thousands and thousands of American jobs to visit China, – Spend hundreds of millions in defense against China and others, – And then borrow the cash from China to pay federal deficits? Hi there?

Is not that unimaginably ignorant? yet the 2 fundamental Celebration’s mind trusts have their fingerprints throughout those policies.

It is Donald Trump who pounds away on:

– Exchange – China, Mexico, Middle East oil, etc., -The tragedy of vets poorly dealt with by using VA hospitals, – Backing the ladies and men in blue, -The outrage of not imposing U.S. Immigration laws, – Banning unvetted Muslims coming to America after jihadi terrorists slipped into Europe and the U.S. As “refugees,” – Who else claims a plan and asserts the need to pay off the surprising federal debt, – Repatriating trillions of dollars off-shored by using excessive taxes and activity-killing rules, – On turning into the activity growing president, – Amongst other problems resonating with thousands and thousands across the political, monetary and educational spectrum.

The evidence he can be “presidential” become given during his cope with to AIPAC.

Having listened to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Senator Bernie Sanders debate, they may be greater polite than their GOP competitors, but It’s obvious each has large policy problems.

Examples. As in reality passionate as Senator Sanders seems, how can he consider frequent federal hospital treatment running for over 330 million when the government cannot properly run healthcare for several million veterans?

Or with President Barack Hussein Obama admitting to Chris Wallace on a Sunday morning display that the biggest mistake of his management changed into ‘having no day after plan’ for Libya-post the U.S. Intervention; that factors immediately to then-Secretary of Kingdom Hillary Clinton. Clinton bragged approximately her impact in toppling Muammar Muhammad Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi. What maximum People call ISIS or ISIL, inside the Center East is known as “Daesh” (or Danish). Something you name them, they now manipulate big elements of Libya. That failed policy was created by means of the POTUS Obama/Hillary Clinton crew. Thank you, Madam Secretary…

ICYMI, as an Iranian-born professional girl, I believe Mr. Trump that the deal giving Iran $one hundred fifty billion become notably wrong.

Democrats have lurched far left. Communist and socialist systems are a validated failure. Just examine Korea to see the superiority of unfastened markets vs. Kingdom socialism. North Korea is a monetary basket case, whilst the South is vibrant. The more The united state’s actions closer to socialism, is it any surprise our financial system and people go through?

Crony capitalism controls DC. “The Gadget’s” profiteers are trying desperately to stop Donald Trump’s self-funded campaign.

Professionally, we manage the synthetic home (MH) industry’s two biggest alternative media websites. running with MH firms of all sizes, we know the subsequent first-hand. Though the MH enterprise is over 6 years into its restoration, negative public policies throttle quicker boom. boom yields tens of lots of right, new jobs annually. Multiply that throughout rankings of U.S. Industries…

There may be masses of blame to go round. Forget the blame game! A leader is needed to refocus on restoring us’s political and monetary Gadget. Permits revitalize boom, protection, and upward mobility.
