Now the book is out publicly, and I’ve had enough time to digest it, I can report the following:ĭigital Minimalism makes a solid case for cutting down on technological distractions and enjoying the benefits of an offline life. I figured some of you would be interested, too. His writing has had a major impact on me, especially Deep Work, so I asked him for an advance copy. It’s not often that I’m excited enough about an upcoming book to mark the release date on my calendar, but Cal Newport is one of my favorite authors. This blog is at risk of becoming the last bastion.Īnd so, I need to read a book called Digital Minimalism like a depressed person needs a lecture on antinatalism. I do like Instagram, although I only post something once in a blue moon. Social media in particular is losing its appeal. I thought it would get easier over time, but it hasn’t. I’m uncomfortable sharing my life in public. In a similar way, I have recurring fantasies of shutting down my social media profiles, deleting this website, and generally trying to erase my presence from the Internet. Maybe you hear a mischievous little voice in your head that whispers ‘jump!’ every time you walk across a bridge, or lean out over a balcony. And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee. He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster. He didn't like the idea of having a son who was a poet. When I was fourteen, my father was always at me about my literary endeavors. Kisch, he writes, "showed incessant curiosity" about why Neruda had adopted such a prototypical Czech name, but the poet never revealed it to him - because the answer was "so simple and so lacking in glamour": Recounting his time in Mexico during the Second World War he mentions a few exiles from the Nazi regime, including Anna Seghers and the German-Czech writer Egon Erwin Kisch. Mathilde Neruda and Miguel Otevo Silva prepared the manuscript for publication.ī+ : amiable, sprawling account of an interesting lifeĪbout midway through his memoirs Neftalí Ricardo Reyes Basoalto describes how he came to adopt the pen name by which he is known the world over.

Katherine Farmar of The Irish Times wrote that Kim is "an unwilling outsider", "overweight, introspective, too cynical to fit in with the “normal” kids but not cynical enough to maintain a veneer of cool aloofness".Kimberly Keiko Cameron, aka "Skim": a Wiccan, Gothic, Japanese-Canadian schoolgirl.And if things cannot get more complicated, Skim starts to fall for an equally quirky teacher. With the school counsellors breathing down her neck and the popular clique (including Katie's best friend Julie Peters) forming a new club, Girls Celebrate Life (GCL), in its wake, Skim finds herself in the crosshairs, deepening her alienation.

In the previous two books, our Misfits brought down a criminal circus enterprise run by the ominous B. There is Carter ( The Vanisher) Locke… Leila ( The Escape Artist) Vernon… Theo ( The Levitator) Stein-Meyer… and Ridley ( The Transformationist) Larsen… and who could forget Olly and Izzy, the ( Hilarious) Golden twins. I have to assume that you remember the details of our favorite young magicians’ club-the titular Magic Misfits. And if you examine every page, you might even find clues that answer questions you have not yet asked. I will need you to think twice about whom to trust and whom to blame. You see, the escapades in this book are a tad more treacherous than in the previous, and I want you to take as much care as the Misfits must themselves. But once you begin reading this-the third tale of the Magic Misfits-you shall understand why I was hiding. This ink is my voice, and these letters are messages from my mind.Īnd there you are!

Morpheous always encourages discourse between partners and players to facilitate openness and understanding. He identifies as a Dominant, and lives in downtown Toronto where he is much sought-after in more ways than one. Morpheous holds a Bachelor’s degree in Education and an Honors degree in Visual Art from the University of Western Ontario, as well as a degree in broadcasting from Fanshawe College. He also performs his own edgy and artistic style of rope bondage at fetish events, galleries, and book launches and his photography has been exhibited in Toronto galleries, including Nuit Blanche, the city’s highly-regarded all-night art installation.

Morpheous regularly organizes conferences featuring top sex experts including Midori, Chanta Rose and Laura Antiou. He has also taught skill-set specific workshops for professional doms and subs, served as the education director at Toronto’s Bound and Gagged dungeon, and written the hugely popular How to Be Kinky, a beginner’s guide for all things fetish. A BDSM sex educator for more than a decade, Morpheous has taught workshops in such subjects as rope bondage, the aesthetics of bondage and fetish photography, and advanced and beginner BDSM. Described by its publisher Faber & Faber as “part novella, part polyphonic fable, part essay on grief”, it uses three interwoven narratives told from different perspectives – those of a father, his sons and a crow that arrives at their front door in the dead of night – to guide its characters from a moment of deep mourning into a more hopeful future. It’s a novel that, when it was released in 2015, was praised by the British literary press for its striking treatment of death and the unconventional structure of its prose. Untethered imagination and finding solace in the impossible when death affects you is something that strikes through the heart of Max Porter’s Grief Is the Thing with Featherstoo. Following the sudden departure of my childhood matriarch, my mind was starting to play tricks on me. One part of me thinks it was a disorienting fever dream, but another, one that gets more convincing the more I dwell on it, thinks it stemmed from somewhere deeper and psychological. Aged eight, I was lying in bed, staring at the walls of my bedroom and imagining things that weren’t there: kitchen cupboards floating footballs birds. I still remember a bout of sickness I had shortly after my mother’s death 16 years ago.

But now they’re back where they feel they belong, Hayes admits there will be no sympathy from the Red Army if the Pittodrie side slip up again. Reclaiming that best-of-the-rest slot represents a remarkable turnaround from a team who looked to be in freefall under Jim Goodwin. It hasn’t done to much harm to the Dons’ bid to claim third place, with their lead over Hearts remaining at five points. But Hayes was more concerned about seeing Aberdeen’s streak of seven successive wins under new gaffer Barry Robson come to an end. In the end, Todd Cantwell spoiled the Irishman’s big day as he sealed a 1-0 win for Gers. With skipper Ross McCrorie ruled out after hernia surgery, Hayes was handed the honour of leading his side out for Sunday’s showdown in Glasgow. Jonny Hayes is honest enough to admit being handed the Aberdeen captain’s armband at Ibrox didn’t mean all that much to him.īut he can’t hide from the fact that finishing third will be all that matters to the demanding Dons support. |
