Her carefully worded, if often puzzling, rejoinders at the two-part reunion were less than satisfactory by Twitter’s standards. ![]() In the just-concluded third season, Gay has been forced to explain her allegiance to controversial cast member and now-convicted criminal Jen Shah, as well as a confounding storyline involving a black eye she received during a cast trip and her ongoing tiff with her cousin and fellow Housewife Whitney Rose over… who really knows at this point? On the flipside, Gay’s been recently accused of wordsmithing her way out of arguments and neglecting accountability by viewers online. “I’d give a blowjob for a burger,” she famously joked during an argument this past season over a castmate’s rumored sexual propositioning. On Bravo’s T he Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, the 40-year-old medspa owner delivers hysterical, self-effacing confessionals, often roasting some curious element of her former religion, Mormonism, or poking fun at her quest to find a man.įor the most part, she addresses conflict with the same colorful sense of humor. ![]() Like any good reality star, Heather Gay has a talent for words. ![]()

6/10/2023 0 Comments Zeus by Carly Spade![]() ![]() ![]() And, IDK, I guess it just departed too far from the known Zeus of mythology. She stepped into her role as goddess and queen (over significantly older, more experienced gods/goddesses) with no notable insecurity of learning curve, etc. She suddenly knew how to use her powers with no adjustments. And then I disliked the end (just about everything after the wedding) because it was just too pat. I liked the middle well enough, as he dropped some of that act. I didn’t particularly enjoy the beginning, because Zeus was just so smarmy. There wasn’t really anything wrong with it. Can she fight her growing attraction for him? Does she want to? His emotions are the strongest she’s ever felt–borderline overwhelming. Tensions flare as the two immediately butt heads, but there’s something about Zane she can’t put her finger on. So when she discovers Zane Vronti, one of New York’s finest, has been brought in on her newest murder case, it’s anything but good news. ![]() There’s nothing Keira Bazin dislikes more than defense lawyers. Too bad the one woman he has his sights on wants nothing to do with him. Zeus/Zane, King of the Greek gods, holds the world in his palm in both his mortal and godly form… until Hera leaves him, forcing him to uphold Gaea’s clause: There must always be a Queen, or he loses his title and part of his power along with it. I accepted a review copy of Zeus, by Carly Spade, through Literary Bound Tours.Ī god-king disguised as a criminal defense lawyer… ![]() 6/10/2023 0 Comments Charlie and the last equation![]() "And from one lap to the other we were a bit inconsistent." "With Charles we were much more performant on the hard (tyre), and with Carlos much more performant on the medium," Vasseur said. He and team-mate Sainz said that the car was also exhibiting different behaviour on different types of tyre - and team boss Frederic Vasseur said that it was also different for each driver. We have been struggling in the race since a little time now and we need to come up with some issues." The car was also very sensitive to wind, Leclerc added.
![]() ![]() ![]() More traditional Jewish scholarship suggests that the writers of the Bible knew nothing of erotic attraction between women, and could not prohibit something about which there was no knowledge or awareness.Īnother traditional interpretation is that the behavior was obviously prohibited because what applied to men applied to women. Biblical critics have suggested that this difference exists because female homoerotic behavior would not have been considered sexual behavior, which in ancient times was understood to require the emission of semen.Ī related theory suggests that nothing women did without men would matter because women were not full persons by biblical standards. The absence of discussion of lesbianism in this context has raised scholarly interest. Lesbianism is not mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, in contrast to male homosexual behavior, which is expressly forbidden as a capital crime. Only in the late 20th century have Jewish scholars and communities faced the issue of erotic love between women. ![]() Jewish Women: A Comprehensive Historical Encyclopediaįor most of its 3000 history, lesbianism has been a subject of little interest in Jewish texts and societies.

An incestuous princess pulled between her new god and her brother-husband. Whalers who will fire cannons at the Bible-thumpers denying them their god-given right to whores. ![]() From the arrival of the New England missionaries in 1820, who came to Christianize the local heathen, to the coup d’état led by the missionaries’ sons in 1893, overthrowing the Hawaiian queen, the events leading up to American annexation feature a cast of beguiling if often appalling or tragic characters. Of all the countries the United States invaded or colonized in 1898, Vowell considers the story of the Americanization of Hawaii to be the most intriguing. In Unfamiliar Fishes, Sarah Vowell argues that 1898 might be a year just as crucial to our nation’s identity, when, in an orgy of imperialism, the United States annexed Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Guam, and invaded Cuba, and then the Philippines, becoming a meddling, self-serving, militaristic international superpower practically overnight. Many think of 1776 as the most defining year of American history, the year we became a nation devoted to the pursuit of happiness through self-government. “Vowell makes an excellent travelling companion, what with her rare combination of erudition and cheek.” ![]() 6/9/2023 0 Comments Varian johnson twins![]() ![]() ![]() Expect high demand from fans of comics like those by Svetlana Chmakova, Jerry Craft, and Raina Telgemeier." - School Library Journal, starred review ★ "A must-read for middle grade comics lovers.
