![]() She comes around to be the most respectful and understanding towards Xavin which may be a way to say "Children adapt better" because she takes Xavin's words and runs with them. They clearly use her to get at what Xavin's take on gender is and that's fine with me. ![]() Yet here is Xavin saving Victor and Chase's asses left and right. It doesn't take a genius to know "Sh*male" is a slur. You took on the task of writing for a gender fluid character, do your research and don't have the group intentionally misgender or make fun of their gender identity. Before you start, I know, this was a gender fluid character in 2005, I shouldn't expect the writers to be super progressive. Aside from Molly, and we'll get to her relationship with Xavin later, they're all quite mean and distrustful of Xavin. Xavin is much better here although I question the writers just making them so willing to help the Runaways because of Karolina. ![]() They really gave Nico the worst romantic life in this series. More high school drama and I guess I'm gonna have to get used to that. ![]()

As control condition, in one of these two sessions the helper did not send any suggestion although the receiver believed the contrary. In the first experiment, 40 participants were requested to identify in two separate sessions, 10 real and 10 false Chinese ideograms presented randomly, trying to connect mentally with the research assistant sending correct suggestions at distance that is without any possibility to communicate with them by conventional means. Non-Local Mental Connection, Random, Bayes, Individual DifferencesĪBSTRACT: Aim of this study is to provide a demonstration of the non-local property of the human mind to connect at distance, that is, without the classical means of communication. ![]() Tressoldi, Stefano Massaccesi, Massimiliano Martinelli, Sara Cappato Mental Connection at Distance: Useful for Solving Difficult Tasks?ĪUTHORS: Patrizio E. ![]() Entangled Minds: Extrasensory Experiences in a Quantum Reality. ![]() ![]() ![]() Rivera Garza was left with a slowly vanishing outline of her sister - and boxes of letters, diary entries and poems in Liliana’s own hand that, until January 2020, she dared not open. She became one of the hundreds of women killed with impunity in Mexico every year. ![]() She was 20, an architecture student with an ear for poetry and a penchant for writing letters on grid-paper notepads.īy the time an arrest warrant was filed for Liliana’s ex-boyfriend months later, he had disappeared. ![]() On July 16, 1990, Liliana Rivera Garza was found dead in her apartment in Azcapotzalco, a working-class borough of Mexico City. “The legal process was stalling, it was very slow, I didn’t see any kind of clear commitment on the side of the authorities,” Rivera Garza said. It also shed light on aspects of her sister’s life that Rivera Garza had never known - and, as she shared on social media last week, led to the first real breakthrough in the case in decades. When she did, the book came as part of a collective call for justice in one of the world’s most dangerous countries for women. ![]() It took Cristina Rivera Garza 30 years to write the story of her sister’s unsolved murder. ![]() ![]() ![]() "The genius of “Fever Dream” is less in what it says than in how Schweblin says it, with a design at once so enigmatic and so disciplined that the book feels as if it belongs to a new literary genre altogether." The New Yorker review of Fever Dream suggests that this novella represents a new genre of storytelling-the reviewer writes: ![]() Always though events are closely anchored to one or another universally human fear: the fear of paralysis the fear of abandonment the fear of dying the fear that one's children are in danger the fear of being trapped. The novel asks you to banish any thoughts like "what is going on?" from your mind as you read, and to yield to its unhinged and unexplained storytelling style.Īs in a real fever dream-as in a nightmare-the events in the novel move in shuddering and unpredictable ways, from the mundane to the terrifying and back again. The story is told in dialog, and neither of the participants in the conversation are fully connected with a rational world of cause-and-effect. ![]() As I read I was gripped by a suffocating sense of dread that never let up. ![]() I finished the story last night and I'm still magnificently unsettled. ![]() ![]() Many of these stories show Bertie ineffectually trying to assert some independent judgment regarding hats, ties, whiskers, and the like-only to be cowed into submitting to Jeeves’s opinion. Together they get mixed up in a series of comical capers of the kind that only over-educated, idle-rich chumps could get into during the early decades of the last century. ![]() ![]() Another installment is told from Jeeves’s point of view, a striking departure from Bertie’s usual narrative, revealing even more clearly which of the two is really in control of the relationship. (You may recall that half of My Man Jeeves was devoted to a different series of stories.) One of them, “Jeeves Takes Charge,” tells the tale of how Jeeves and Wooster got together. In this case, all ten of the stories feature English playboy Bertie Wooster and his resourceful manservant Jeeves. This collection of humorous stories, published in 1925, is very similar to My Man Jeeves (1919)-so similar, in fact, that several stories from that earlier book appear, in a somewhat revised form, in this later one. ![]() ![]() ![]() Set in Albuquerque, New Mexico, this mature, coming-of-age, epistolary novel follows the point of view of its main antagonist Laurel.
