Solitude

With the Zhengde Emperor dead without an heir, the succession is in question and rebellion brewing. Fortunately, Grand Secretary Yang Tinghe has planned for this and calls in his backup - the 13-year-old Prince of Xing, Zhengde's younger cousin. He'll come to power as the Jiajing Emperor... but Secretary Yang will very quickly find out that, though young, Jiajing is a spitfire who's here to play the game, not be played.

1519-1524 CE

#234 - Ming 24: The Grand Rites Controversy

Nicole, 63 ans, est une des rares femmes pêcheuse de crevettes à Dunkerque. Ancienne ouvrière du textile et mère de six enfants, elle trouve dans cette pratique réservée aux hommes une échappatoire, un moment de paix. L'eau soigne son corps abîmé par le travail en usine, les maternités et le travail domestique. Nicole est aussi championne du monde de décorticage de crevettes ! Elle raconte qu'elle a pu gagner 10 fois ce concours grâce au travail en usine, qui lui a fait exercer sa rapidité et sa dextérité. Les médias soudain parlent d'elle. Nicole se voit reconnue hors du cercle domestique. Une récompense ? Une revanche ? Un plaisir ?
Au-delà de l'image folklorique de la pêche à la crevette, cet épisode d'Un podcast à soi / Une vie à soi interroge le rapport au temps, au travail domestique, à la reconnaissance. Et donne à entendre des résistances invisibles.

Une vie à soi : Nicole | Un podcast à soi (37)

This week we reprise a great show from our archives:  guest host Cynthia Nixon presents stories from New York Magazine’s online portal “The Cut,” which combines art, journalism, and the kind of fresh contemporary fiction that speaks to us.  On this program, a woman tries on different identities, as well as clothes, in a dress shop fitting room, in “Fully Zipped” by Shelly Oria, performed by Katja Blichfeld.   A new mother can’t seem to get the hang of breastfeeding in Curtis Sittenfeld’s “Bad Latch,” performed by Justine Lupe.  And Parker Posey tackles mail order—and time travel—in Xuan Juliana Wang’s “Future Cat.”

James Wiseman - postgame (7/15/15)

From Alexandra Christo, the author of To Kill a Kingdom, comes Princess of Souls, a Rapunzel-inspired YA fantasy romance about a teen witch groomed to steal souls for an immortal king and the reckless, rebellious boy to whom her fate is tied.

For 16 years, Selestra has been trapped in her tower on the Floating Mountain, preparing to take her mother’s place as the king's witch, who foretells deaths in the Festival of Predictions. Outrunning your fate earns a wish and the chance to steal the king’s immortality. But die and your soul is forfeit. And though thousands have tried, nobody has ever beaten death.

A soldier in the king's army, Nox is an unlikely candidate for the Festival, but, driven by revenge, he is determined to steal the king’s immortality and kill the entirety of his court, starting with Selestra.

Yet when Selestra touches Nox in her very first prediction, their fates become entwined, and death seeks to take both their souls. Only by working together can they survive long enough to escape the dark fate and the immortal king that now hunts them.

Rad Crew S24E14: Cyberpunk 2077 Edgerunners - Hvor mange vil prøve å kopiere suksessen?

Rishi Sunak becomes Britain’s prime minister today, making him the third in the past seven weeks. Our correspondent explains who he is, and analyses his road ahead. In Mexico there are growing concerns over the army’s increasing wealth and power. And why “The Stepford Wives,” a novel published 50 years ago, remains relevant and influential today.<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Third time’s the charm? Britain’s new prime minister

La masturbation est plutôt silencieuse ? D'accord, mais ça n'a pas empêché Internet et la bande dessinée de lui inventer une onomatopée : fap. L'histoire pourrait s'arrêter à cette simple signalétique masturbatoire sans importance. Sauf que sur Internet ce n'est jamais simple, et que toute culture crée une contre-culture. Ainsi, le fap a généré le NoFap, mouvement anti-masturbatoire destiné à faire reprendre en main leur vie aux hommes... à condition qu'ils n'y mettent plus les doigts.
