The groundbreaking debut by the award-winning author of Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments, revised and updated.Saidiya Hartman has been praised as &#8220one of our most brilliant contemporary thinkers&#8221 (Claudia Rankine, New York Times Book Review) and &#8220a lodestar for a generation of students and, increasingly, for politically engaged people outside the academy&#8221 (Alexis Okeowo, The New Yorker). In Scenes of Subjection&#8212Hartman&#8217s first book, now revised and expanded&#8212her singular talents and analytical framework turn away from the &#8220terrible spectacle&#8221 and toward the forms of routine terror and quotidian violence characteristic of slavery, illuminating the intertwining of injury, subjugation, and selfhood even in abolitionist depictions of enslavement. By attending to the withheld and overlooked at the margins of the historical archive, Hartman radically reshapes our understanding of history, in a work as resonant today as it was on first

Be brave. Just for sixty seconds. Twenty breaths.It took every ounce of my courage to return to the small town I fled all those years ago. But I should’ve known he’d hate me. How could he not when my father’s blood still runs through my veins?Yet here I am, desperate for a chance to make things right. Even if it means facing the family my father almost destroyed and the boy with the dark eyes—now grown—who still haunts my dreams.I never expected just how explosive things would turn between us. He’s the last person I should want. Yet, somehow, I keep drawing closer—so close I know I’ll end up burned. But Hayes is a good man, a noble one. Someone who channeled his pain into a career spent protecting those around him. So, when the threats begin, he steps in to keep me safe. And we discover that maybe neither of us knew the other at all. As the sparks between us ignite into something deeper, someone watches. And they’ll do anything to tear it all apart…

A Tale of the Nine Lands

A Tale of the Nine Lands - Audiobook Chapter 1

"Glass House" is a haunting dark pop track that dives deep into the realms of vulnerability, betrayal, and introspection. With its minimalist production and emotionally charged lyrics, the song captures the essence of modern angst and the fragility of human connections. The track is anchored by a melancholic piano melody that weaves through ambient synth pads, creating a dreamy, almost surreal atmosphere.

The vocal delivery is soft and breathy, reminiscent of Billie Eilish's signature style, drawing listeners into an intimate, confessional space. Layered with subtle reverb and delay, the vocals echo with a sense of longing and despair, amplifying the emotional depth of the lyrics. The chorus, with its poignant lines about throwing stones from a glass house, serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of our actions and the inescapable nature of guilt.

"Glass House" also features deep sub-bass undertones and sparse electronic beats that add a sense of tension and urgency to the track. The use of glitch effects and pitch-shifted harmonies creates an otherworldly soundscape that is both eerie and captivating, making the song a unique blend of dark pop and alternative elements.

As the song progresses, the intensity builds, culminating in a bridge that confronts the listener with stark truths about the complexities of love and betrayal. The outro brings the track full circle, fading out with the same ethereal synth pads and ambient textures that opened the song, leaving a lingering sense of introspection and unresolved emotion.

"Glass House" is a powerful exploration of the delicate balance between vulnerability and strength, offering a sonic experience that is as unsettling as it is beautiful. Perfect for those moments when you want to reflect on life's deeper meanings, this track is a must-listen for fans of atmospheric, emotionally resonant music.

Glass House

"Serpent's Tongue" is a haunting, folk-inspired song that weaves a dark tale of the devil's cunning and deceit. With eerie melodies and poetic lyrics, it captures the serpent's sly whispers and the chilling allure of temptation, painting a vivid picture of betrayal and the dangerous charm of evil.

Once again we are rounding out a summer series this week as we bring our summer of Urban Legends to a close. Today we dive into the Urban Legend known as… the Bunny Man aka Bunny Man Bridge, which has been a fixture of local legend in the DMV dating back at least 50 years. Is there any truth to tales of a man dressed in a bunny costume wreaking havoc on the residential neighborhoods surrounding our nation's capital? Tune in as we get into the legend itself and some personal experiences at the bridge. We’ll also take a look at some real life incidents that could possibly explain how this tale evolved and how the Bunny Man has since become a figure associated with several gruesome murders and paranormal events straight out of a Stephen King novel. All this and more in todays episode!

Music is not just an art form for me—it's a lifeline, a form of therapy that sees me through the highs and lows of life. Each track I create is a piece of my soul, translated into sound. It's in the depths of melodies and rhythms that I find solace, pouring my emotions and experiences into each note as a way to heal and understand myself better. My music is a diary of my journey, a reflection of the inner workings of my mind and heart. When you notice an influx of new tracks, it's a signal that I'm navigating through tougher times, seeking refuge and expression through my music. This direct channel from my innermost thoughts to your ears is what makes my music raw, real, and resonant. So, as you listen, know that you're not just experiencing a song, but a chapter of my life, a moment of catharsis, and a piece of my path to healing. My hope is that it may offer you the same comfort and escape it provides me
