![]() In The War on Normal People, Yang imagines a different future-one in which having a job is distinct from the capacity to prosper and seek fulfillment. The future looks dire-but is it unavoidable? The consequences of these trends are already being felt across our communities in the form of political unrest, drug use, and other social ills. Rapidly advancing technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics and automation software are making millions of Americans' livelihoods irrelevant. In The War on Normal People, Andrew Yang paints a dire portrait of the American economy. ![]() ![]() In a future marked by restlessness and chronic unemployment, what will happen to American society? One recent estimate predicts 45 million American workers will lose their jobs within the next twelve years-jobs that won't be replaced.

We were going to hate to see him go but were dying to see how he’d leave! Just a couple of weeks before May sweeps, the soap vet, who had so thoroughly made the role of Victor his own, teased that he’d be getting “one of the greatest villain send-offs” ever. Heck, we scarcely had time to add him to our Look Who’s Joining the Show photo gallery.

Whether you prefer your yoga pants hiked up in a high rise, fancy a mid-rise waistband, or like the option to adjust the style and go for a more low-rise look, there are plenty of yoga pants to choose from that meet nearly every style preference, too. You can find this beloved workout clothing item in a variety of pants styles, including flare, bootcut, wide leg, and even capri and jogger styles, too. Often mistaken for leggings, yoga pants can have a similar look and feel to a cotton blend legging, but they don’t just come in form-fitting silhouettes. Stretchy, soft, and durable, yoga pants are one of the most frequently worn athleisure items in our wardrobe (even when we aren’t actually planning to take a yoga class). ![]() ![]() “The cathedral was already dark and deserted. ![]() Its rays, more and more horizontal, are slowly withdrawing from the pavement of the square, and rise along the steep façade, with the thousand round bumps protruding from their shadows, while the great central rose blazes like the eye of a cyclops inflamed by the reverberations of the forge.” A light in the heart of darkness It is the moment when the sun, already heading for the horizon, looks almost directly opposite the cathedral.

Opening Moves was an unexpectedly captivating novel that quickly drew me in. That if you conquer a planet in the Game, you control it in reality."" As we follow Alan's progress in the Game, and see him level up and take missions, it seems straightforward, but there is another story playing out that adds interest and intrigue to the Game. "You told me that the Game affects real life. ""Remember, it's just a game," Icewolf said. Set against the backdrop of an alien invasion, he nonetheless understands its importance. Alan enters the Game with little knowledge of the Game. I was pleasantly surprised to find it was about much more than a game played out in an augmented or virtual reality. I'm not sure what I was expecting when I read Cosimo Yap's Opening Moves.

On Monday night, I was invited to attend the book tour with Draper James (Reese’s clothing line) and I wore one of the new dresses. The panel was filmed and as soon as I see that it’s been posted, I’ll be sure to let you know. The first was a small panel at Crate and Barrel and the second was her official book tour. I had the chance to hear her speak twice this week. She’s been on an intense press tour right now (it’s incredible the number of things she’s been up to) and spent some time in NYC promoting her book. I think it embodies a lot of women I know and respect and it certainly is aligned with Reese Witherspoon (the person and the brand). ![]() The title was a southern phrase that I wasn’t familiar with, but now that I know it, I absolutely love it! “Whiskey in a Teacup” is used to describe a woman who’s delicate on the outside but strong on the inside. (I think it’s going to be my plan for the weekend!) I’ve flipped through it and already like what I see– it’s a little bit party planning, a little bit recipe book, and a little bit memoir. I just got my copy and I can’t wait to dig into it. If you’re a fan of Reese Witherspoon, you probably know by now that her first book Whiskey in a Teacup just came out. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() “Nicholas Wong’s Crevasse inhabits the fiery crossroads that connect sexuality, masculinity, language, and race-a radical space that challenges the stubbornly trite assumptions about queer and Asian identities. The results are a stunning array of poems, both lyric and experimental, which seek to lay bare the gap between perfect familiarity and inevitable distance – “The layered self/ on a plate,/ slain by silver-/ware.” praise Like Samuel Beckett and others before him, Wong has deliberately chosen to write in a non-native language – a decision that frees him to strip down, interrogate, and ultimately reorient the fragmented complexities of the multiple marked communities he inhabits: queer, Asian, Hong Kong native, poet, reader, lover. Written in English, Wong’s second language after Cantonese, these meticulously wrought poems achieve a careful de-familiarization of language – its reliance on sound and sense and the painstaking, word-by-word accrual of meaning – to both enact and exemplify the irreducible persistence of the body through illness, dislocated desires, and colonization. Crevasse collects poems that seek to uncover the seam connecting these mutually observed and observing bodies. Crevasse, Nicholas Wong’s newest collection of poetry, starts with an epigraph from Maurice Merleau-Ponty that notes the impossibility of observing one’s own physical body and, therefore, the necessity of a “second,” “unobservable” body from which to view one’s own. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In 325, at age 27, Athanasius began his leading role against the Arians as a deacon and assistant to Bishop Alexander of Alexandria during the First Council of Nicaea.
