Circe

In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child--not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power--the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves.

Threatened, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her occult craft, tames wild beasts and crosses paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus and his doomed son Icarus, the murderous Medea, and, of course, wily Odysseus.

But there is danger, too, for a woman who stands alone, and Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both men and gods, ultimately finding herself pitted against one of the most terrifying and vengeful of the Olympians. To protect what she loves most, Circe must summon all her strength and choose, once and for all, whether she belongs with the gods she is born from, or the mortals she has come to love.




The Fox Hunt: A Refugee’s Memoir of Coming to America

Born in the Old City of Sana’a, Yemen, to a pair of middle-class doctors, Mohammed Al Samawi was a devout Muslim raised to think of Christians and Jews as his enemy. But when Mohammed was twenty-three, he secretly received a copy of the Bible, and what he read cast doubt on everything he’d previously believed. After connecting with Jews and Christians on social media, and at various international interfaith conferences, Mohammed became an activist, making it his mission to promote dialogue and cooperation in Yemen.

Then came the death threats: first on Facebook, then through terrifying anonymous phone calls. To protect himself and his family, Mohammed fled to the southern port city of Aden. He had no way of knowing that Aden was about to become the heart of a north-south civil war, and the battleground for a well-funded proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia. As gunfire and grenades exploded throughout the city, Mohammed hid in the bathroom of his apartment and desperately appealed to his contacts on Facebook.

Miraculously, a handful of people he barely knew responded. Over thirteen days, four ordinary young people with zero experience in diplomacy or military exfiltration worked across six technology platforms and ten time zones to save this innocent young man trapped between deadly forces— rebel fighters from the north and Al Qaeda operatives from the south.




After Anna

Dr. Noah Alderman, a widower and single father, has remarried a wonderful woman, Maggie Ippolitti, and for the first time in a long time, he and his young son are happy. Despite her longing for the daughter she hasn’t seen since she was a baby, Maggie is happy too, and she’s even more overjoyed when she unexpectedly gets another chance to be a mother to the child she thought she'd lost forever, her only daughter Anna.

Maggie and Noah know that having Anna around will change their lives, but they would never have guessed that everything would go wrong, and so quickly. Anna turns out to be a gorgeous seventeen-year-old who balks at living under their rules, though Maggie, ecstatic to have her daughter back, ignores the red flags that hint at the trouble brewing in a once-perfect marriage and home.

Events take a heartbreaking turn when Anna is murdered and Noah is accused and tried for the heinous crime. Maggie must face not only the devastation of losing her daughter, but the realization that Anna's murder may have been at the hands of a husband she loves. In the wake of this tragedy, new information drives Maggie to search for the truth, leading her to discover something darker than she could have ever imagined.




Love and Other Words

Macy Sorensen is settling into an ambitious if emotionally tepid routine: work hard as a new pediatrics resident, plan her wedding to an older, financially secure man, keep her head down and heart tucked away.

But when she runs into Elliot Petropoulos—the first and only love of her life—the careful bubble she’s constructed begins to dissolve. Once upon a time, Elliot was Macy’s entire world—growing from her gangly bookish friend into the man who coaxed her heart open again after the loss of her mother...only to break it on the very night he declared his love for her.

Told in alternating timelines between Then and Now, teenage Elliot and Macy grow from friends to much more—spending weekends and lazy summers together in a house outside of San Francisco devouring books, sharing favorite words, and talking through their growing pains and triumphs. As adults, they have become strangers to one another until their chance reunion. Although their memories are obscured by the agony of what happened that night so many years ago, Elliot will come to understand the truth behind Macy’s decade-long silence, and will have to overcome the past and himself to revive her faith in the possibility of an all-consuming love.




Family and Other Catastrophes

Emily Glass knows she’s neurotic. But she’s got it under control. Sort of. She dons compression socks when she flies (because, you know, deep vein thrombosis) and responds to people routinely overestimating her age with more Lifespin classes and less gluten. Thankfully, she also has David, the wonderful man she’ll soon call husband—assuming they can survive wedding week with her wildly dysfunctional family.

Emily’s therapist mother, Marla, who’s been diagnosing her children since they were in diapers, sees their homecoming as the perfect opportunity for long-overdue family therapy sessions. Less enthused are Emily and her two siblings: ardently feminist older sister Lauren, who doesn’t think the wedding party should have defined gender roles, and recently divorced brother Jason, whose overzealous return to singlehood is only tempered by his puzzling friendship with David’s Renaissance Faire—enthusiast brother.

As the week comes to a tumultuous head, Emily wants nothing more than to get married and get as far away from her crazy relatives as possible. But that’s easier said than done when Marla’s meddling breathes new life into old secrets. After all, the ties that bind family together may bend, but they aren’t so easily broken.

ONTD Original: Beliefs the Pop Community Tell Themselves

0
0


So I've been pop music for a while and some of these fans start to conjure up a lot of beliefs, whether they're suggestions as to how manage some of these artists, or you're simply placing some sort of judgement.

The following list is not to disapprove such thoughts to be expressed, but these comments and complaints get overdone by stan bases all over. Here I will bring up a common arguments and try to find points as to why they're valid or not.

1. 'X' artist should make an 'x 2.0'/recreate 'x' record.
Yes
- If they have been creatively stunted and lost their own identity, they can venture back into something people will be familiar with
- Maybe audience wants the artist to create something in the similar state of mind as something previous, or in vein as something else, and not exactly replicate music

Notes:
Maybe they did try to recreate a similar song and it worked. I'd like to consider very similar parallels to "Heartbreaker" vs. "Fantasy" by Mariah Carey, and Lady Gaga creating "Judas" vs. "Bad Romance".

No
- As formulaic song making is, attempting to make a similar song is #reductive
- Artists naturally grow and change, and hopefully for the better
- Timing: songs and albums made their magic already and achieved it's own success

Notes:
Lil monsters - I know TFM was THE work of art but stop hoping Gaga will go back to "dark themes" as if TFM is gonna be reawakened. Voodoo ha, hex ha all you want but if #Joanne must rest, so must your hopes.

There's no point in Madonna making another Ray of Light or Xtina making another Stripped.


2. You're only as good as your last success.
Yes
- Well ho, how you gonna try to tour if you haven't produced a hit in a decade #noshade
- Your receipts and stats are old and outdated
- Maybe you "peaked too soon" and the truth is you have not created anything worth noting since

Notes:
If you stan for Hurts, you'd probably consider their debut Happiness as their true masterpiece and their material since then has been kind of weak. #JusticeForLights

No
- You can't judge growth in artistry vs. their last known 'hit'
- #MusicNotTheBling
- There were better works released since their last success, but was not commercially released as a single or with promotional support
- Maybe the artist finds success in something else OR they've reached a point of legendary status where they can release albums to promote tours (Madonna).

Notes:
Technically Charli XCX's last 'success' was "Boom I've Got The Clap" and "Break the Rules" era but she's released great works since.

I feel like this applies to Bey as well. As much as she does have iconic songs, she's known to be a performer more than her music. Her NAME is bigger than her music. She doesn't have a lot of chart toppers in recent years but that doesn't mean she didn't release two bodies of work.

Must we decipher albums vs. singles vs. tour artists?


3. 'X' artist is always holding up with releases/making the wrong single choices.
Yes
- Maybe they didn't have any good music to release to begin with
- They're lazy, uninspired, or just resting on their laurels

Notes:
*ahem*CHRISTINA*ahem*

No
- It's the label politics for the reason they are not releasing anything at all OR choosing the wrong single choices
- Labels choose the singles 99% of the time
- Blame the focus groups and execs that are influencing these decisions
- Maybe their process to make music just takes long

Notes:
JOIN the O.S.A. (Oppressed Stan Alliance) representing Charli XCX, Tinashe, CL, LIZ Y2K + more and their lengthy periods of in-between waiting eras and label battles!


4. Only one artist can reign in 'x' genre.
Yes
- Maybe there's a certain music movement and a certain artist rose to the top within the movement and did it best
- Their success speaks for themselves which is why they're at the top of their game
- We don't need any more of 'x' type of artistry

No
- The rising popularity of the genre or style simply reflects what's common and happening in culture
- As Legend X said, there's room for all of us on our iPods

Notes:
This is a common theme in hip-hop with the "we can only have one female rapper at the top of the game therefore we're going to pit reigning female rapper 'x' with other female rapper 'y'"

5. 'Y' artist is the new 'x' artist.
Yes
- Valid comparisons
- Newer artist directly takes/admits strong inspiration from predecessor

Notes:
IDC but if we're going to claim a 'y' is the new 'x', it was fair to consider Gaga was the new Madonna in many aspects.

Theres this band called 'joan' that's basically a LANY rip-off.


No
- Everyone is different
- People make unfair judgements due to limited knowledge of culture, and because everyone is comfortable using a reference point
- Newer artist 'y' has completely different intentions


6. Pop music + pop stars are not credible artists.
Yes
- Pop music is about doing whats popular or what it takes to get popular, therefore substance is not prioritized
- There's a difference between a 'performer' and 'artist', some argue
- There are pop artists who have minimal involvement in what they're doing, and who are manufactured or go through concentrated artistic development and have teams for A&R, songwriting, investment, etc.

No
- There are pop artists who are creators and are singer-songwriters, instrumentalists, conceptual thinkers and want to express it
- Substance-less music can be found in all waves, genres, and statuses in music, NEXT


LENGTHY TEXT POST. Why is this a damn essay. I wrote this bc I have a lot of #thots and I feel like I sound crazy

ONTD, do you witness tired comments in the pop music community?

Giada: ... Work with me here...! It tastes a little bit like chianti...!

Giada: You take the pasta... And you dump it right on top.
Stephen: Now, is there alcohol in the pasta?
Giada: Would you like to do something?
Stephen: I would love to do something. Now, is there still alcohol in this pasta?
Giada: ... Yeah, you just cooked the pasta in it. What do you mean is there alcohol?
Stephen: It doesn't actually cook out the alcohol, I can get d--
Giada: No, the alcohol is absorbed in the spa-kee-ti!

Giada: ... Spa-ghee-ti, Spa-ghee-ti.

Stephen: Your daughter's nine?
Giada: She's ten.
Stephen: She's ten. So she can have espresso at ten?
Giada: Yes! Of course! The way I had chianti at 8 or 9!
Stephen: And that's the reason why you had to leave the country? (Giada was in Italy until she was 8)

Cardi B Admits To Very Briefly Considering Not Having Her Baby

Host Charamagne Tha God asked her if she ever considered not having the baby.

“Kind of, sort of. But I just didn’t want to deal with the whole abortion thing, I just didn’t want to. You know what, I’m a grown woman. I’m 25-years-old, and I’m going to say this in the most humble way, but I’m a millionaire… I’m prepared for this.”

"It just really bothers me and it disgusts me because I see a lot of women online like 'I feel sorry for you. your career is over' and it's like why can't I have both? Why do I gotta choose a career or a baby? Why can't I have both. I want both."

"I don't want to wait until I'm thirty-something to have a kid. I want my kid now that I have energy and stuff."

Official: Country Is Cool Again

0
0
With the critical success of Kacey Musgraves "Golden Hour", i-D Magazine has declared 2018 is the year for country. According to the magazine, many big artists are pivoting to country, like Kylie Minogues latest country-disco effort, and Justins "Mayo In The Woods" before that. Obviously, Joanne is a gem on your tasseled country button up.

Country has breached the mainstream and it's subject matter is more relevant than ever. Songs are now bridging queerness with the ultra masculine 'bro-music' which has prevailed for so long. The magazine namedrops newer artists like Kacey Musgraves, for being at the forefront of that much needed change. Others, like Jessica Lea Mayfield, and Orville Peck are the torchbearer's of 'country cool' alongside the queen of country, Dolly Parton- who has maintained an LGBTQ+ ally for four decades.


The songs in reference are here:

Orville Peck - "Dead of Night"





Jessica Lea Mayfield - "Offa My Hands"



Kacey Musgraves - "High Horse"





ONTD, do you think country is BACK? or has it just never gone away?

According to a source at US Weekly they've been dating since last fall:

“Brad’s absolutely smitten by her.”

“They got romantically involved almost right away. “He’s been going to great length to make sure he’s not spotted by prying eyes.”

“Brad and Neri have traveled together internationally on several occasions.”

A second source though says that they're strictly friends.

“This is solely a professional relationship [and] there’s nothing more to it as of now.”

Gossip Cop also checked with a source and says they're not a couple.
