Delve deeper into the manuscript of a poet.

In "The Whispering Head," a caretaker receives a genuine shrunken head found in an old closet, its hollow skull stuffed with paper bearing the name Miguel Julio Enrique. As nights pass, the head begins to shift, whisper, and stir-until the name inside is no longer just ink, but something breathing again.

We are Jai and Maise Ghosh, a couple of anthropologists with a knack for archaeology, and we have a secret. On one of our expeditions, we have found a crystalline world beneath our feet that is rich with its own culture and mysteries. This world is called Crysthelios by its inhabitants. Within these pages you will find details on the world of Crysthelios, those who live there, and our own first-hand accounts and experiences from traveling there. All the information you will read are translated texts recovered from our expeditions as well as our own observations. Follow along as we update our findings and formulate our ideas on the mysteries of Crysthelios.

A novelette about how humanity finally overcame anger, hate, and war. But is it worth it? This story is a modern interpretation of old Norse tales of the Valkyrie, but there are no gods, only humans and androids. I am very open to feedback as I am just starting to write more!

In the spring of 2004 - after living in Tokyo, Japan, for over three years pursuing a career as a freelance musician - science fiction and fantasy author Domenico Italo Composto-Hart set off on a half-year backpacking journey through the lands of East and Southeast Asia, Siberia, Central Russia, the Baltic states, the Nordic countries, and Eastern and Western Europe. Traveling by foot, bus, train, and boat - and seeing the world through the analytical lens of anthropology, archaeology, and economics - Domenico documents, researches, and deciphers the developing nations he encounters as they rise through the turbulence of unregulated Western capitalism and globalization. Travels in the Land of Hunger is the author's reflective account of the dark, long-lasting impact of Western colonialism and imperialism, the Vietnam War, the Khmer Rouge regime, the 1997 Asian financial crisis, and the sex tourism and sex trafficking industries in Southeast and East Asia. It is also a narrative of finding exotic beauty, inspiration, inner strength, and unexpected love.

A short text in the form of a parable.

When Venus follows her mother's footsteps to the Solomon Islands, she uncovers a world of breathtaking beauty-and startling truths. From golden-haired children to sacred waterfalls, ancient customs clash with modern struggles. In this lush South Pacific paradise, Venus must navigate culture, history, and heartache to uncover what makes these islands truly unforgettable. A journey of discovery, legacy, and the power of place.

Christine and Micheal Vincent are best friends they have gone through a lot for having parents that work in the FBI. High School is easy for both of them Christine being the captain of the soccer team and Micheal is the Captain of the football team. They are always there to protect each other and then what happens when they suddenly can't? All characters go to the Kathy Reich and probably the show helped too. (I've never read the books) also images are from Pinterest and google.

What if grades, jobs, and "success" are just stories we were told-and you're allowed to rewrite the plot? This book is a love letter to the overlooked: working students, quiet rebels, and/or the ones who failed but never stopped trying. Blending sociology and other social sciences with personal experience, Sociologifying turns everyday struggles into reflections on power, survival, and meaning. From classrooms to call centers, from prayers to protest in silence-this is not an academic thesis. It's a lived theory. If you've ever asked: - Why do I feel like I'm always behind? - Is this system really fair-or just normalized? - Can I still hope even when I'm tired? ...then this book is for you. Come for the theory, stay for the stories. Read, reflect, and maybe, begin to sociologify your own life too. "Not just a voice-this is a collective echo." 👉 Follow @brewboo_burp for updates.

A new girl arrives at the Jeffersonian

Step into a world beyond the stars, where cultures collide and secrets unravel. Dr. Zaragoza, a seasoned cultural anthropologist and the SGC's newest research analyst, finds herself plucked from the concrete-walled offices of Cheyenne Mountain into a realm of interstellar exploration. Summoned by the legendary Dr. Daniel Jackson, she is temporarily enlisted as a member of SG-1 with much to prove, as they embark on a daring mission to an uncharted planet. Their destination holds a breathtaking surprise for the scholar in Zaragoza: a civilization that mirrors the Urartians, who come from the Near East during the Iron Age. The Urartians also happen to be within Dr. Zaragoza's field of expertise. As she immerses herself in her research on the ground and finds a kindred spirit in the relentlessly curious Dr. Jackson, she and her newfound team journey deeper into the heart of this alien world. // This fanfic is my exercise on viewing a TV show with a closer cultural lens, based on my experience taking introductory courses on cultural anthropology and archaeology, and studying history. I've also been fascinated by the world of academia, so that trickles down into this story. I try to be a realist when I write, but still, I hope you enjoy it. (Cover credit: art-by-sable on Tumblr)

Especially Min Yoongi-quiet, sharp-eyed, and unexpectedly captivated. She's immune to fame. He's intrigued by silence. In the stillness between them, something begins to bloom.

This is a work of what I call "speculative mythology." It's the shared, continuous stories of a highly eusocial people, and the many names that have emerged across the telling and retelling, translating and re-translating of these tales across many generations. It's bug lore, ant mythology, spec myth, a love letter to a people who never existed. There's Skith, who climbed. Akkis, who ran. The two-tandem of Sett and Tattik. Rika, who went downward, and who dueled in the Serpent-Tunnel. The Small Colony, the Four Tree Colony, the tumult of Our Mound where no Queen lives, and the great labors of the Gods Inside.
