The calls for a boycott have not included a specific demand. “I think going after a trans woman that’s been doing this for like 20 years is a lot more difficult,” she said.īoycotts bring mixed results, and it’s unclear what critics were seeking. She is “an easy target,” she said, “because I’m still new to this.” Mulvaney has not spoken directly about the Bud Light boycott, but she addressed the hostility she has faced in an interview on the “Onward With Rosie O’Donnell” podcast that was released on Tuesday. This success has met with personal attacks from public figures, including Senator Marsha Blackburn, Republican of Tennessee, and Caitlyn Jenner, the Republican transgender woman and former Olympian whose politics have made her a target of criticism from members of the L.G.B.T.Q. Mulvaney has become more popular in the year since she created “Days of Girlhood.” In October, she spoke with President Biden at the White House about transgender rights. Mulvaney says her newfound fame has made her an ‘easy target.’ She mentions that the company sent her a tallboy can with her face on it to celebrate the 365-day milestone. ![]() Her Bud Light promotional post was less than a minute long and was mostly about a $15,000 giveaway that the company sponsored during March Madness. ![]()

Within feminist thought, I have been interested in transnational issues as one of the founders and first chair of the board of the United Nations University GEST-Programme at the University of Iceland (now Unesco, ). The issue of embodiment is one of the main philosophical discoveries of the 20th century and Nietzsche as a philosopher of the body and feminist philosophies of the body have laid the ground for the idea of the human being as embodied and hence relational, contextual and therefore individual in a more profound sense. I am interested in the intersection of philosophy of embodied life and phenomenology, and have been working on the relation between Nietzsche´s philosophy and the philosophies of Arendt, Beauvoir, Irigaray and Butler. I continue to do Nietzsche-research, but have also done work in feminist and environmental philosophy. I studied philosophy in Boston and Berlin, and did my doctorate on the philosophy of Nietzsche. I am a professor of philosophy at the University of Iceland. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments Franny e zooey salinger![]() ![]() It is a long-term project, patently an ambiguous one, and there is a real-enough danger, I suppose that sooner or later I’ll bog down, perhaps disappear entirely, in my own methods, locutions, and mannerisms. Both stories are early, critical entries in a narrative series I’m doing about a family of settlers in twentieth-century New York, the Glasses. Salinger writes of these works: “FRANNY came out in The New Yorker in 1955, and was swiftly followed, in 1957 by ZOOEY. As his younger sister, Franny, suffers a spiritual and existential breakdown in her parents’ Manhattan living room - leaving Bessie, her mother, deeply concerned - Zooey comes to her aid, offering what he thinks is brotherly love, understanding, and words of sage advice. The novella, Zooey, is named for Zooey Glass, the second-youngest member of the Glass family. The short story, Franny, takes place in an unnamed college town and tells the tale of an undergraduate who is becoming disenchanted with the selfishness and inauthenticity she perceives all around her.

He also crystallized one of the most important debates of our time: As we enjoy the Net's bounties, are we sacrificing our ability to read and think deeply? Now, Carr expands his argument into the most compelling exploration of the Internet's intellectual and cultural consequences yet published. "Is Google making us stupid?" When Nicholas Carr posed that question, in a celebrated Atlantic Monthly cover story, he tapped into a well of anxiety about how the Internet is changing us. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments Max gladstone empress of forever![]() Rebellion is literally impossible to consider-until Vivian Liao arrives.

Under her leadership, we are told, major technologies were introduced, medicine improved, military industrialisation undertaken and a free press encouraged. Cixi ‘brought medieval China into the modern age’. ‘Empress Dowager Cixi’s legacy was manifold and towering,’ she writes. Jung Chang does not merely repeat what are now truisms in the representation of Cixi – that she has been obscured by misogyny and orientalist stereotyping, as well as the anti-Manchu sentiment running through Chinese nationalist narratives – but also claims to have discovered something new.

In the 1960s and 1970s, she was one of a small collection of ‘powerful’ women newly discovered in Chinese history.
