![]() ![]() "One of the most visible and successful feminists of her generation. She offers the kind of raw honesty that can feel like a punch in the gut, but leaves you with the warmth of a deep embrace." - Ms. "Jessica Valenti is a breath of fresh air. In the tradition of writers like Joan Didion and Mary Karr, this literary memoir is sure to shock those already familiar with Valenti's work and enthrall those who are just finding it. Sex Object explores the painful, funny, embarrassing, and sometimes illegal moments that shaped Valenti's adolescence and young adulthood in New York City, revealing a much shakier inner life than the confident persona she has cultivated as one of the most recognizable feminists of her generation. Now, in a darkly funny and bracing memoir, Valenti explores the toll that sexism takes from the every day to the existential. Author and Guardian US columnist Jessica Valenti has been leading the national conversation on gender and politics for over a decade. A daily recipient of misogynistic vitriol, Valenti raises important questions about the long-term effects of hate speech and online trolling, largely by ending Sex Object with a verbatim and often chilling transcript of some such messages she’s received via social media and her own website. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Stir for about ten minutes, adding in the meat.Rinse the beans and put them along with the drained corn, tomatoes, V8, chilis/peppers into a pot over a medium heat.If you’re adding meat, cook the meat first and set aside.Ground beef/turkey/fake meat crumbles (optional) So, without further ado, let’s make some firehouse chili.ġ can of green chilis or peppers (pick the pepper for the heat level you enjoy) You can make it spicier with different peppers, change out the meat or use no meat for our vegetarian friends.

Today I’d like to share with you a recipe for firehouse chili that even Ward couldn’t screw up. Okay, I’m decent…Fine, I haven’t poisoned anyone yet. In The Firefighter’s Dilemma, Díaz comments on it more than once, and gives him crap about it because teasing is their love language. A running gag throughout the series is how bad Ward’s cooking is. Right away, I knew I had to make Ward a terrible cook. During my research for the Mile High Firefighter’s series, I learned cooking meals is a chore shared by everyone in the firehouse. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Pulitzer Prize jury chose it as the year’s best novel, but in a scandalous reversal of their decision, the prize’s trustees refused to approve the award and presented it instead to Edith Wharton’s “The Age of Innocence.” A few years later, when the judges chose Lewis’s “Arrowsmith,” he refused to accept the prize - Sinclair Lewis had a thin skin. And in 1920 - at the age of 35 - he had written “Main Street,” the most sensationally successful novel of the century to date: hundreds of thousands of copies sold, and a title that came to stand for the values, both narrow-minded and wholesome, of what we now call Middle America. He had written five inconsequential books that had received respectable if not excited attention. This is the centenary year of “Babbitt,” Sinclair Lewis’s best - and most misunderstood - novel. ![]() ![]() Renowned Latin American writer Alvarez has created another story about cultural identity, but this time the primary character is 11-year-old Miguel Guzmán. Like the story, the paintings are both hopeful and somber, and the slaves are as graceful and softly luminous as the slave owners are stiff, pinched, and cruel.Ī dreamy, powerful picture-book tribute to both Hamilton and the generations-old story. When a mother and her baby are brutally whipped in the cotton fields, an old slave resurrects his magic and helps her and others fly away, free as birds, leaving the non-magical slaves behind to tell the tale. Legend has it that some people in Africa could fly, but when they were shipped to America as slaves, they shed their black, shiny wings (reflected as feathers on the glossy black endpapers). Hamilton’s The People Could Fly: American Black Folktales (1985) won a Coretta Scott King Award, and the Dillons here reissue its heartbreaking title story with gorgeous, all-new, full-color paintings. And they would walk up on the air like climbin up on a gate.” Say that long ago in Africa, some of the people knew magic. ![]() ![]() Excitement.įrank Einstein now lives as a jack-of-all-trades wanderer, accompanied by a variety of allies, including the Atomics.
