[Maschilità egemone][James W. Messerschmidt]

Maschilità egemone di James W. Messerschmidt fornisce una sintesi agile e al contempo rigorosa della concezione originale e dei modi in cui si è sviluppata la hegemonic masculinity elaborata negli anni Novanta

Questo volume, assai atteso in traduzione italiana, fornisce una sintesi agile e al contempo rigorosa della concezione originale e dei modi in cui si è sviluppata una delle più famose teorizzazioni sociologiche delle maschilità, la hegemonic masculinity elaborata negli anni Novanta del secolo scorso dalla sociologa australiana R. W. Connell. Tenendo conto degli sviluppi teorici del concetto,…

what is the biggest type of dragon in your dragonrider setting? conversely, are there any that are too small to ride that might serve other purposes? i'm interested in the extremes.

also, how intelligent are they?

they get pretty big. i haven't fully ironed out the size classes but pictured here is a matriarch (gold dragon analogue) being escorted by a much smaller class (foreground) as they fly over a river valley. the matriarch acts as a mobile radio tower/traffic controller for her brood (as does the crew on-board). with extreme high aspect ratio wings and six jet runes her flight is almost effortless.

i haven't decided about the smallest ones just yet because i'll be so real i did not care for fire lizards in pern and preferred to think more about the dragon & rider dynamic. i'd say the smallest is like what you see pictured here in the fg.

they are extremely intelligent; the ability to harness electromagnetic waves and the jet runes themselves are all draconic in origin, and these technologies were shared with humans, who could replicate them using their own manufacturing expertise. i guess it might be easier to think of the humans as the dragons' kobolds lol - fun little guys who enrich the dragons' lives and contribute their own expertise (medical techniques, materials technology, agriculture and so on). it is a symbiotic relationship, the dragons are given equal representation in governing decisions etc

Meet New Zealand's Hana-Rawhiti Kareariki Maipi-Clarke. She's an MP in NZ's parliament. Her haka is in protest of a bill that would have taken rights afforded to the tribes and applied them to all New Zealanders (defeating the purpose of the Treaty of Waitangi).

She is 22 years old, and this isn't the first time she's done it.

The ending of “Amplification” is absolutely hilarious, because

there are two high-stakes situations at the same time: Reid dying and the bloke threatening to release anthrax. The episode’s climax is the resolution of the latter, and from that the tension is released! We transition into the gently heartwarming scenes of JJ and Hotch smiling as they reconnect with their families- aw! - and Emily and Rossi discussing moral boundaries- here be the Food for Thought™️

but whilst all this Lovely Heartwarming True Meaning of Life stuff is going on… the first high-stakes situation is left hanging. Nobody is concerned in the slightest that Reid is still coughing up his internal organs.

Perfect editing. No notes.

HOW THEY USED TO ROCK -- "BECAUSE ROCKERS IS WHAT WE REALLY ARE."

PIC INFO: Spotlight on English rock and roll band THE BEATLES, during the band's early five-piece era with the late, great Stuart Sutcliffe on bass guitar, c. 1962, Hamburg, Germany (I think). The group were then known to use Selmer amplification during this time period.

can't stop thinking about how morgan and garcia must have felt listening to reid cough and sound visibly ill over the phone in amplification. how they were probably hanging on to that little bit of hope that the cipro was enough and that he was fine. and then they hear him. and they know it wasn't and he isn't.

fr tho what is stopping the gov from just. making another singularity-weapon-lab-child like chuuya? are self-contradicting abilities that rare, or did they just look at suribachi crater and went "oh yeah that shit went worse than expected never again"
