`I'll cry at the end of the day. Not with fresh make up.' -Kim
`On the cover of a magazine it said I was drunk and alone and just for
the record, is there a problem with that?' -Kris
`My vibe right now is just living life.' -Kourtney
It's time to embrace the slower pace! There's no denying it -
you're OLD, but that comes with a lot of perks. You can say the
most outrageous things and somehow get away with it. You can dress
however you damn well please. And after learning from so many
mistakes, you're now as wise as you are wizened. It's your time to
recline, and this hilarious book will show you how it's done.
Feline stressed? Would you like a cat-alyst to purr-fect peace in
your life? Ever watched enviously as your furry friend finds a
sunbeam and stretches out on it - on your bed - as you rush to
catch the bus? Follow this sound advice, straight from the moggie's
mouth, and maybe you can achieve catitude too. This is a humorous
guide to finding and appreciating - cat-style - those peaceful
moments amid the chaos and stress of working and domestic life.
It's no coincidence that your cat has decided to sleep on your
keyboard, or your tax return, or that report you should have
finished last week. They're saying, "Pay me attention and why not
get me some food while you're at it"... but they're also saying,
"Find the stillness within the detail, amid the tumult, of your
hectic life. Take some time for you to be you." Probably. This is a
cat's guide to beating anxiety, appreciating the moment and being
mindful. So look around you, take some time to smell the catnip,
take a lint roller to your hairy trousers, and try some
Meowditation. Eleanor Abraham is a Glasgow-based writer and editor.

Van die oomblik wat ons gebore word, begin ons ook te sterf. Maar al is die dood een van die algemeenste menslike gebeurtenisse, vermy die meeste mense om daaroor te dink of te praat. Wreed En Mooi Is Die Dood – met bydraes deur gewilde Afrikaanse skrywers – probeer hierdie stilte te verbreek.
Deur hul diep persoonlike verhale oor verlies en heling te deel, bied die bydraers onbewustelik ook raad vir hoe om die hartseer van ’n geliefde se dood te verwerk en hoe om jou eie sterflikheid te konfronteer. So vertel Marita van der Vyver van haar babaseun se dood, terwyl Valda Jansen beskryf hoe sy lamgelê is deur die nuus dat sy kanker het en Kerneels Breytenbach deel sy ervaring van eensaamheid na sy vrou se dood. ’n Paramedikus beskryf sy daaglikse ontmoetings met die dood, daar is ’n lys van dinge wat ’n mens vir ’n sterwende moet sê en nie moet sê nie en ook ’n bespreking van die rituele om die dood. Daar is soms selfs ’n bietjie humor . . . soos die storie oor die jong dominee wat in ’n leë graf geval het en Annelie Botes se voorbereidings vir haar begrafnis.
Dit is ’n aangrypende boek wat beloof om lesers te roer en weer te laat dink oor hulle prioriteite in die lewe.
Sexy Like Us: Disability, Humor, and Sexuality takes a humorous,
intimate approach to disability through the stories, jokes,
performances, and other creative expressions of people with
disabilities. Author Teresa Milbrodt explores why individuals can
laugh at their leglessness, find stoma bags sexual, discover
intimacy in scars, and flaunt their fragility in ways both
hilarious and serious. Their creative and comic acts crash,
collide, and collaborate with perceptions of disability in
literature and dominant culture, allowing people with disabilities
to shape political disability identity and disability pride, call
attention to social inequalities, and poke back at ableist cultural
norms. This book also discusses how the ambivalent nature of comedy
has led to debates within disability communities about when it is
acceptable to joke, who has permission to joke, and which jokes
should be used inside and outside a community's inner circle.
Joking may be difficult when considering aspects of disability that
involve physical or emotional pain and struggles to adapt to new
forms of embodiment. At the same time, people with disabilities can
use humor to expand the definitions of disability and sexuality.
They can help others with disabilities assert themselves as sexy
and sexual. And they can question social norms and stigmas around
bodies in ways that open up journeys of being, not just for
individuals who consider themselves disabled, but for all people.
