La vita di una schiava 24/7 piena di prove, dubbi, abbandoni, errori, mancanze, profonde riflessioni sul passato, su se stessa e sulla vita da volontaria sottomessa. Tutto questo visto attraverso l'ottica di Sonia, che parla sempre di sé in terza persona, riferendosi a se stessa come "la schiava", mentre si immerge nei complessi e raffinati preparativi di una cena particolarmente importante per il suo futuro. Ancora una volta si precisa, per chi non è conoscitore delle dinamiche BDSM, che tutto ciò che una schiava fa o riceve, è voluto da entrambi i soggetti. ADATTO A UN PUBBLICO ADULTO

"Exposing the common Autistic traits with the power to overcome challenge, leading to achievement and success...and what happens when that success is met with ableism. Most people Jane McNeice encounters don't recognise she is Autistic until she chooses to share it, at which point she detects change.ÿÿ Why? Because when most people hear 'Autism', they think deficit, and once they are focused on deficit, any strengths will be lost on them. The reader Strength Not Deficit is appealing to the most is the one who has their own deficit, a deficit they are yet blind to, and coincidentally, one that also starts with a bold 'a'. Their deficit is ableism. If, like Jane, you are willing to transform your deficits into strengths, which is a strength in itself, she'd like to take you on a journey of reducing or even removing ableism from your mindset, creating strength: seeing beyond the pervasive narratives of incapability that permeate our culture and which have a negative impact on the lives of Autistic people, and ultimately an impact on neurodiversity as a whole."--

Bluff is a return to offer farewells - to father, homeland, childhood. A haunting elegy crafted out of the tangible world, these poems approach the precipice and turn the reader back towards life with the senses alight. Chiles is a lyric poet of subtle, mysterious gifts.-Dan O'Brien"We were nearing the end of something / though it was morning, the day young," so begins Adam Chiles' clear-eyed elegy for his dying father. His grieving involves a return to his native Yorkshire: cottages on eroding bluffs, dark shore, stiff winds, rain against glass, and the ever-present sea. There's a remarkable sense of inevitability to the forces he conjures. These lyrics sing to us of loss and change and continuity. They sting and soothe, sometimes all at once, as when Chiles reads Edward Thomas aloud to his father, "all afternoon, I give back / willow herb and grass" or when he sits in his father's art studio, taking consolation in "his oils, his resins."- Catherine Staples

Her budding friendship with Tom from the neighbouring property reveals a more tender side to the land, with a vast beauty that penetrates all her defences, and stirs neglected yearnings and unsayable questions. Yet this strange mix of brutality and tenderness also uncovers buried bones of the past, and Ella's stubborn curiosity draws her into a dangerous mystery that has her spinning blind. Has her presence here disturbed more than memories, and will the swirling storm threaten to waken more than the land's red dust?

He is 100% "anti woke, anti snowflake and 100% anti f***ing politically correct" as he puts it ("Hell, if you can't poke fun at yourself and then poke fun at the shit people that blight society, there's no point in having fun at all"). It's a biography. It's a diary. It's a music history lesson. It's all three things wrapped up and more.

How there was, despite the fun and laughs, a more sinister side which is never mentioned, along with the hypocrisy and the occasional violence that tagged along with it. No holds barred. Warts an' all. It will shock. It will be disgusting. It will make you laugh and then it will leave you emotionally detached. WARNING - some material will be likely to offend.A Punk Rock Diary. No holds Barred. Tells it like it is. Fun. Humourous. Disturbing.

The Red Goddess is an ecstatic journey through the history of Babalon, the goddess of Revelation, a provocative vision of a very modern goddess coming into power. From the Revelation of St John the Divine, back through the Ishtar Gate and forward into a living modern magical current. This is more than a history, it is a passionate account of living magic and the transcendent power of Love. The text takes us from Babylon to Jerusalem to Rome, and onwards to Apocalypse. It confronts us with the language and symbols of our own culture and the denied demonised divine feminine. It looks at the angelic work of John Dee and places it in a European eschatology. It delivers a devastating exegesis on the excesses of Aleister Crowley, and unlocks the secrets of 'Waratah Blossoms.' It explains the immolation of the Californian antichrist-superstar Jack Parsons and his relationship with Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. There is also a full supporting cast of Solomon, Simon Magus, St John the Divine, Earl Bothwell, the Templars, Mary, the Magdalene and countless others. This is the missing history of the love goddess in the West.Thirteen essays conclude the book on subjects including: roses, mirror magick, bdsm, aphrodisiac drugs, the information age, love and lust, and the meaning of apocalypse. The Red Goddess is for anyone with blood in their veins, regardless of tradition, background or experience.

After twenty-one years of professional fighting, an undefeated record, and fifteen major world championships, Floyd Mayweather Jr. said, "boxing is easy, life is much harder." I can't speak to a career in the ring, but I do know that the battles we wage as human beings-whether as spouses, parents, employees, or friends-are just as real and sometimes even more rigorous than a boxing match.In the ring, victory might be claimed within a defined timeframe, but the battles we face as individuals extend far beyond any ring or arena. For me, the wounds stemming from these life battles-whether relational, emotional, or spiritual-cut deeper into my soul than any broken bone ever could. Perhaps you can relate.This is precisely why fight language is a fitting description of life. It is also the explanation for the old-fashioned fistfight being a prism through which to see faith. But how is it a lens for faith? What God says and what we feel rarely line up. God's Word says he is working for our good, yet we may wonder how it can be true as we watch our family members suffer, our health deteriorate, or our loved ones die.God's Word says we are clean and forgiven; we feel guilty and unworthy. God's Word says we are chosen and accepted; we feel lonely and rejected. The fight of faith pushes past our emotions to what God says. This doesn't just happen; we have to fight for it.We're in the fight of our lives, and if you're anything like me, you could also use all the help you can get. I won't pretend to have all the answers here; I've spent more time on the mat than on my feet. Yet, it's on the ground where I have learned the most about the fight; in fact, many of these reflections stem from the gasping lungs, broken noses, and black eyes that life has thrown me.In this intense battle of life, you are not alone. My hope is that these pages strengthen you, increase your spiritual resolve, and provide strategic insight for the fight of faith.

La dominazione a letto: il sogno segreto di tante donne. Esistono anche versioni più complete ed evolute della figura della schiava: la H24, schiava devota sempre, tutti i giorni, a tutte le ore, in tutte le situazioni, non solo nel sesso. È una precisa, volontaria scelta di vita, e va precisato che è la schiava a scegliersi il Padrone, tanto per capirci, anche se poi è lui che comanda, dispone, pretende ubbidienza. E se le schiave diventano due? E la prima è succube della seconda? Il divertimento (per tutti) raddoppia. Crescono le situazioni intriganti, le occasioni di sesso di vario genere e non è poi così facile gestire umori, ordini, capricci, nel comune interesse: il piacere di tutte e tre le figure. Si avvisano i lettori che la storia è eccitante e cruda nel realismo delle scene, condivise, volute da tutti, auspicate. Il sesso è il gioco più bello che ci sia, il BDSM è l'eccellenza del gioco, certo, non adatto a tutti, ma chi ci riesce poi non torna indietro. ADATTO A UN PUBBLICO ADULTO, CONSAPEVOLE E CONSENZIENTE

Meaningful Mourning was developed from life experiences and written from a personal, not professional perspective. Like many, the author has lived through tremendous grief. Grief that has brought her to where she is today. While there are many books available that provide support for people in mourning, Meaningful Mourning focuses on multiple ways the reader can honor and celebrate the memory of their loved one in order to move forward. The author has utilized not only her experiences with dealing with death, but also those of others. Though a brief history is provided of the losses of family and friends, the focus is not on them, but on ways to move forward with life after a tragic loss. The desire is that the reader is able to honor and celebrate the memory of the one they loved, so that they will feel whole again.

Leander's eyes darken as he whispers against my lips, "How would you have me kiss her, hm? Show me how these wicked, lecherous lips of mine should brand her as my queen." He slides his free hand up my neck and my lips part instinctively. His index finger lazily brushes my bottom lip as he tilts my chin up to look him in the eye. "Let me go," I whisper. And then he kisses me. Softly. His grip begins to loosen just as he breaks away. "Would she like that?" he murmurs, gauging my reaction. "Or would she prefer this?" Before I can speak, his lips are on mine again.

Europa and her progeny face alien immigration and environmental degradation. Godless materiality has displaced reverent piety. Faith is absent or fixed on Jewish chimeras. Science has morphed from a tool to understand the world to an infallible deity. Man, too, has morphed - into a soulless husk; folk-divinity has been replaced with inhuman automata. He is the hive-mind; and the automata serve with pleasure the will of their master, who presides over this planet as an irreproachable, material god -- the demon with the blank stare.In the face of this devilry, the Supreme Creator yet exists -- as does duty. God's emissaries have a duty to fight the affliction. In fulfilling his duty, the fighter gives voice to God, and God gives fire to him. This fire is faith and the final solution.Hitlerism is the final solution to Aryan affliction; it describes man's duty as he confronts a cosmic hostility incarnate in the irreproachable. The Hitlerist is the living affront to Jewish supremacy. In fulfilling his mission to restore divine righteousness to existence, the Hitlerist becomes the Hero. And the Hero endures.
