With chapters on desire, f*ckability, utility, refusal, and possibilities, Refusing Compulsory Sexuality discusses topics of deep relevance to ace and a-spec communities. Brown advocates for the “A” in LGBTQIA+, affirming that to be asexual is to be queer-despite the gatekeeping and denial that often says otherwise. She takes an incisive look at how anti-Blackness, white supremacy, patriarchy, heteronormativity, and capitalism enact harm against asexual people, contextualizing acephobia within a racial framework in the first book of its kind. Brown offers new perspectives on asexuality. In this exploration of what it means to be Black and asexual in America today, Sherronda J. For asexual folks, it means that ace and A-spec identity is often defined by a queerness that’s not queer enough, seen through a lens of perceived lack: lack of pleasure, connection, joy, maturity, and even humanity. And it impacts the most marginalized among us. It’s intertwined with our ideas about capitalism, race, gender, and queerness. The notion that everyone wants sex-and that we all have to have it-is false. For readers of Ace and Belly of the Beast: A Black queer feminist exploration of asexuality-and an incisive interrogation of the sex-obsessed culture that invisibilizes and ignores asexual and A-spec identity.Įverything you know about sex and asexuality is (probably) wrong.

For many college students, starting out at a college or university is their first taste of freedom. Applying to and heading off to college can be an exciting and rewarding experience, but it often comes with a fear of the unexpected. Professor Ashutosh Das, Ph.D., D.Litt., of Calcutta University, declares, “ Autobiography of a Yogi is regarded as an Upanishad of the new age.It has satisfied the spiritual thirst of truth-seekers throughout the world. By any measure, Autobiography of a Yogi has played a major role in introducing the science of yoga to the modern world. It is still appearing on spiritual and inspirational best-seller lists seventy-five years after it was first published - a rare phenomenon! Available in many translations, it is now being used in colleges and universities all over the world in courses ranging from Eastern philosophy and religion to English literature, psychology, sociology, anthropology, history, and even business management. With the passing years “thousands of readers” became millions, and the enduring and universal appeal of Autobiography of a Yogi has become increasingly apparent. Their comments, and the fact that the book has been translated into many languages, encourages me to believe that the West has found in these pages an affirmative answer to the question: ‘Has the ancient science of yoga any worthwhile place in the life of the modern man?’” “I have been intensely moved,” Sri Yogananda wrote in an Author’s Note to the 1951 edition, “to receive letters from thousands of readers. Without going into the plot too much, it's the story of two original characters who get accidentally drawn into the drama happening in Tombstone: A man trying to escape his past who finds himself in the town seemingly at random, and a widow working as a reporter for the local paper.

And about an "earthquake" that turned out to be mostly the result of a plane going really fast. How exciting is Perth? Today my twitter feed was awash with excitement about the fact that it RAINED. Review: The Hating game is a humorous and lovable romantic comedy. Now up for the same promotion, their battle of wills has come to a head, and Lucy refuses to back down when their latest game could cost her her dream job…But the tension between Lucy and Joshua has also reached its boiling point, and Lucy is discovering that maybe she doesn’t hate Joshua.
