January 2022 Tarot Scopes by Melodie
Author: Melodie • Discussion: No Comments
Aries: King of Pentacles
This month, with five planets (and the New Moon) in your 10th house, you'll be focusing on career and your plans for the future. You might be thinking about starting a business, feathering your nest, or looking for ways to establish security for you and your loved ones.
This is the King of Pentacles from the Gypsy Palace Tarot. He's a robust and colorful King. He's clothed in the finest royal attire. He's vibrant, spirited and energetic: you can see that he's got places to go. Yet he's also very open and generous. There's not an ounce of stinginess or pettiness about this King.
The phrase "if you want something done you may as well do it yourself" speaks directly to you, but may not always be in your best interests. If you struggle with trusting that things will get done without your input, keep in mind that giving up control and allowing others to show you what they're made of can benefit you more in the end.
This may be someone coming into your life and if so, know that he or she is there to teach you those qualities. But if, on the other hand, you've been focusing too much on what you lack or what's been missing in your life, it's time to rethink the messages that you're sending out to the Universe.
Remember the universal laws attraction: they're as present as ever in this card. You 'll need to shift your energies to those of prosperity-consciousness and gratitude in order to fully appreciate the blessings of this King.
October 2021 Tarot Scopes by Melodie
Aries: The Chariot
With several planets retrograde at the beginning of this month, you could be dealing with feelings of restlessness and frustration, and longing to break free.
This is especially true with your ruler (Mars) debiliated by sign, in addition to both of your relationship rulers (Venus and the Sun).
But fortunately, things will start picking up for you in the 2nd week, starting with Venus changing signs, Saturn going direct and the New Moon falling in your sign.
During this time, you could be feeling a renewed sense of freedom and liberation — as if a weight has been lifted off your shoulders and been replaced with wings to fly.
The Horse — Spirit of Freedom in the Animal Wisdom Tarot — is this deck's version of the Chariot. Here the Horse has taken flight and is balanced between Sun and Moon, which is associated with day and night, or will and intuition.
The Chariot is all about harnessing your inner reserves of strength and power. In this deck the emphasis is on liberation, emancipation and being freed from the chains that bind you.
Starting on the 19th, when Jupiter goes direct and the full Moon occurs in the sign, you should start to feel that your spirits are lifting as you ascend to higher realms. You'll still have to work on harnessing your baser instincts, but know that in doing so your goals are much closer to your reach.
September 2021 Tarot Scopes by Melodie
Aries: Four of Cups
This month, with your ruler (Mars) opposing Neptune, you may be dealing with feelings of apathy, uncertainty, disillusionment or discontent — especially regarding your personal relationships.
The Mars / Neptune opposition can see you focusing on what's missing in your life, rather than what's right there before you. It can see you wondering whether there's something (or someone) else out there that would excite or inspire you.
This is the Four of Cups from Mary Griffin's beautiful (and sadly, out-of-print) Hezicos Tarot. The figure in the card looks absolutely bored to tears, oblivious to the beauty surrounding her, and the mischief taking place beneath her feet.
The is the essence of the Four of Cups. There's also generally a lack of energy, which may mean that for the first couple weeks of September, you won't feel like doing much of anything.
One of the positive aspects of this card though is that it reveals to you exactly what's "wrong with this picture" and allows you the opportunity to make it right.
It can get you thinking about how things could be — in an ideal world or at least with respect to following your dreams — and then what you can do to make those dreams a reality. While you may start out thinking "what's the point?" you'll have a clearer idea of what's worth salvaging and what could use a little more work in the end. .
August 2021 Tarot Scopes by Melodie
Aries: Three of Cups
This month, with the Sun, Mercury and New Moon all coming together in your 5th (romance, love affairs and creative self-expression) house, it's going to be a good time for you to let your hair down, kick your heels up and have some fun!
This is the Three of Cups from the Deviant Moon Tarot. This card is all about people gathering together to connect, interact and celebrate. It's a happy, joyful energy that can manifest as a party or celebration, or it could be as simple as a girls night out.
Look at the figures in this card. They're all so different, yet they've found a common ground and embrace one another with a the kind of joyful camaraderie that says they know how to have fun.
They rise up from the belly of a monster fish. Are they celebrating their impending release? Or are they resigned to a more sinister fate and engaging in one last last hurrah?
Either way this card is all about socializing and participating in group activities. Hanging out with like-minded people and expressing feelings of affection and good-will.
This month you want to leave your troubles at the door and go out and have yourself some fun, There's no room for fretting about work or other mundane concerns.
No matter where the people in your life have come from — no matter what your connection or history or relationship with them is — the Three of Cups is a card of companionship and camaraderie. It serves as a reminder that there's always something to be grateful for, and always someone to share your gratitude with.
June 2021 Tarot Scopes by Melodie
Aries: Five of Wands
With your ruling planet (Mars) involved in a tense aspect with Pluto from the start of this month, you may see your competitive drives being awakened — along with your fighting spirit — for better or worse.
This is a larger than life aspect that tends to magnify all the Martian impulses: anger, aggression, impatience and combativeness. It may see you acting without thinking or ignoring repercussions.
On the up side, this transit can increase your natural confidence and self-esteem. It can see you feeling invincible, to the extent that you're willing to put yourself out there — letting nothing stand in your way. But on the downside it's careless and potentially reckless — especially if you allow your ego to take charge.
The Five of Wands — this version for the beautiful Gypsy Palace Tarot — refers to conflict, strife and competition: forcing your will on others, trying to be heard above the "roar" of opposing viewpoints and struggling against cross-purposes.
You may have to look at where you may have been pushing your views forcefully onto others. You might not even realize that you're doing it, yet your actions can translate as pressure, at at least on some subconscious level. Petty squabbles can erupt into major arguments because no one's actually listening to what anyone else has to say.
The important thing to remember is that most disagreements are based on misunderstandings in the first place. The inability to put ourselves in someone else's shoes –- coupled with the need to be heard — is behind almost every argument out there. And this combination can be a recipe for disaster.
Fortunately all this changes when Mars moves into Leo (on the 12th). In the meantime though, steer clear of incendiary topics (like politics and religion). Use this transit to your advantage, by choosing your battles wisely and in most cases choosing not to battle at all.
May 2021 Tarot Scopes by Melodie
Aries: Seven of Wands
With Mars (your ruler) now in Cancer — and moving through your 4th house — there may be times this month where you feel like retreating into your own thoughts and creating a safe inner sanctuary for yourself.
You may also find yourself needing to be more guarded and alert, rather than accepting things at face value. You may face opposition from others, in the form of competition or outright resistance. You may also feel "under siege," as in being attacked or ganged up on.
There may be a moral dilemma or a situation that requires you to compromise your ideals. This may be a friend who asks you to keep an uncomfortable confidence, an accusation that's put you on the defense, or a situation in which you feel unfairly targeted.
In this version — from the Light Seer's Tarot — the choice is pretty clear. It's not going to be about fighting or one-upping anybody. It's about distancing yourself from all the noise and reclaiming your own power.
There is a "hold your ground" element to the traditional Seven of Wands and a call to find your center in this one. Either way it's about self-preservation. But what better way to strengthen your position than to harness all that energy, rather than allowing it to scatter all around you.
Think about the obstructions you've been standing in the way of obtaining your goals and work on breaking them down. You may have to explore uncomfortable feelings or you may have to conquer some fears. Whatever it is, know that you do have the tools at your disposal. The Seven of Wands requires you to consider solutions that might not be readily available, as you plan your next move.
April 2021 Tarot Scopes by Melodie
Aries: The World
You should be feeling like you're on top of the world this month, with five planets — including the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Chiron and the New Moon — in your sign. This is going to be a great time to prepare for the next chapter in your life, which may also require you to tie up some loose ends.
If you took stock of what's changed for you in the last year (from one birthday to the next), you might be surprised at how has happened. And the World card tells you you're right on the verge of checking those things off your bucket list and preparing to tackle more.
This is the World card from the Jaen Tarot. It's the last card in the deck, completing the Fool's journey. As such, this card speaks of achievement, fulfillment, integration and completion.
And just like the Fool, you're now coming full-circle, from instinct to essence to progress to development, as you come to the end one cycle and prepare to embark on a new one.
You could be finishing a course or internship, tying up lose ends on a project that you're ready to launch, putting a failed relationship behind you and getting back into the dating scene, finishing (and feeling good about) a self-improvement regimen. The possibilities are endless.
The World card is a card of both fulfillment and completion. With that in mind, it's time to put the finishing touches on projects that are almost finished, and also time to rest anything that just didn't pan out for you. You're preparing to start a whole new journey, and in doing so will want to with as clean a slate as possible.
March 2021 Tarot Scopes by Melodie
Aries: Nine of Pentacles
You may have a lot going on this month, with three planets in your 11th (social) house and your ruler (Mars) moving into Gemini in your 3rd. These are all very action (and interaction) oriented placements, but they can also be extremely draining.
As a result it might be time for you to take a breather, or stop and smell the flowers, like the figure in this card.
The Nine of Pentacles is all about enjoying the bounty that life affords you rather than focusing on what you lack. You're hopefully feeling good about how far you've come and are ready to start enjoying it.
The Nine of Pentacles — from the Sun and Moon Tarot — says that you're more than satisfied with all you've attained. It's about counting your blessings and aligning yourself with those concepts, knowing that the Universe offers up unlimited resources to those who do.
Take some time this month to appreciate all that you have as well as those who have helped you along the way. And remember that wealth and abundance needs to flow (it's called "currency" for a reason), if you're able to give some of it away.
We know that all the money in the world won't buy us happiness if it's acquired without passion. Yet we keep on wanting more of it, and find ourselves struggling with the idea of figuring out how much is "enough."
The Nine of Pentacles challenges us to not only answer that question but to examine our personal values as well. Remember that whatever you put out there — whether it's time, energy, money or yourself — as well as whatever you're open to receiving, will all balance out and be replenished over time.
February 2021 Tarot Scopes by Melodie
Aries: Knight of Pentacles
With your ruler (Mars) now moving through Taurus, you might feel the need to slow down a bit rather than rushing headlong into the next great adventure.
This transit is good for stopping the smell the flowers and for taking your time to appreciate what life has to offer. It's fitting then that your card this month is the Prisma Visions Tarot's version of the Knight of Pentacles.
This Knight isn't galloping off toward the horizon and he's not racing to the finish line. He's led his stallion to a lush field of giant strawberries, where both of them can feast.
The Knight of Pentacles (and Mars in Taurus) knows how to make money. But his focus is more on relishing and savoring than it is on taking action.
He's all about preserving his resources while maximizing his potential, so that he's always at least one step ahead of the game.
This is the essence of the Knight of Pentacles. Taking advantage of opportunities as they present themselves so that you're always working toward your goals. It's that unique combination of instinct and strategy that guarantees your success.
Whether you're working on generating more income, saving for the future or paying down debts, you can make a lot of headway toward securing your financial independence. The spirit of adventure is not lost here: it's still a big part of this process. But it's the foresight and efficiency with which you go about achieving your goals that makes them so achievable in the end.
Aries: Judgment
This month — with your ruler (Mars) finally crossing its shadow point, it's going to be time to think about reinventing yourself.
The Judgment card — this version from the beautiful Guardian of the Night Tarot — represents a day of reckoning. It calls for self-evaluation and awareness, a need to develop enough spiritual altitude to look objectively at your mistakes and shortcomings as well as your triumphs and victories.
It serves as a powerful reminder that in order to put the past behind us we must let go of prior judgments and heal the wounds that have been holding us back.
It's a card of eternity, infinity and timelessness. Of atonement and forgiveness. Of unconditional love, understanding and acceptance, for both ourselves and for those who've hurt us or let us down.
This card represents a summation of all that has come before, and an awareness that each step taken — from here on out — leaves an indelible imprint on our future. On a personal level, this card speaks of compassion, forgiveness, understanding, and acceptance.
Take this time to tie up loose ends. This can be a literal letting go of the past, but it will more likely relate to putting yourself in other people's shoes and seeing how the mistakes they've made or the grief they've caused have been just as much a part of being human and flawed as any direct attempt to cause you pain.
December 2020 Tarot Scopes by Melodie
With Mars (your ruler) now moving forward again in its own sign, this should be a great month for you to work on harnessing your personal power and manifesting your goals.
This is the Chariot card from the New Palladini Tarot. It's associated with courage, determination, stamina and self-control.
The Chariot card is associated astrologically with the sign Cancer, which the Moon rules. In that respect it's a reminder of how divergent forces in all of our lives — light vs. dark, positive vs. negative, instinct vs. action, etc. — compete with one another for control.
The figure in the card stares straight ahead, wearing a Sphinx hood and golden chainmail, and weilding a mighty sword. The Chariot's wheels replicate the Sun shining high in the sky, just as the hawk's gaze replicates the Charioteer's.
You may be called upon to both maintain control and harness the opposing forces in your life. Whether this is related to relationship, career, or the dual desires within your own psyche, the challenge will be to find a way to pull your energy inward and funnel it outward into one solid direction.
You can accomplish a lot through sheer force and determination — as long as you're aware of the need to focus your energy in one primary direction. You'll have find a way to balance the diverging energies in your life. But if you can "pull it together" you'll make great strides toward accomplishing your goals.
November 2020 Tarot Scopes by Melodie
Aries: Six of Swords
WIth your ruling planet (Mars) retrograde for the first part of the month and then moving forward again for the last half, you're likely going to be similarly changing direction this month. If you're making big changes, you'll need to think about what you're taking with you and what you're leaving behind.
This isn't necessarily material things; in fact that's rarely what it means. It's more about attitudes and belief systems, as well as a life you may have built and dreams you may have dreamed that are no longer capable of sustaining you.
The Six of Swords is a card of transition and change. It represents moving to a better place, even if only in your mind.
In this version — from the Mary-el Tarot — we see the Archangel Raphael guiding a pair of young children and their dog across a bridge. Where he's leading them is not seen, but there are elements of safety, protection and comfort in this card, which is a necessary part of trusting in the unknown.
This is the message behind the Six of Swords. You may not be where you want to be just yet, but you're moving in the right direction.
The Six of Swords reminds us that we're not alone. We don't get to the other side without assistance from someone, even when that "assistance" comes in the form of a setback that forces us to change direction.
It also provides clarity and perspective. We may see things we don't want to see — or admit to ourselves — but it's that kind of clarity that motivates us toward change. This is the first step, courtesy of the Six of Swords, toward manifesting your goals.

Transgender books at Yorkville branch: Correcting Stephanie Sawah before she does any more harm
Back in March I got an E-mail from Stephanie Sawah. This U of T student was starting up a project that I knew had a defined outcome irrespective of the facts: Proving that the Yorkville branch of the Toronto Public Library was failing to serve the most downtrodden group since Jews in Buchenwald, namely transgenders.
After a lot of prodding, Sawah sent along her findings in an absurd double-spaced, single-column PDF, which I turned into what it should have been all along – real HTML – for her.
The paper hasn't been published yet, but, since I assume it will be used as a bludgeon to shame TPL, I thought I would get out ahead of things and document Sawah's inaccuracies. I would certainly suggest that she and her transgendered friends (again: the most downtrodden group of the 21st century) think twice about weaponizing this "research" against the library.
Sawah and I couldn't agree to meet, but we exchanged various electronic mail, including this one (mildly copy-edited):
The current research project I am working on aims to analyze whether the "T" is adequately addressed in the LGBT Collection at Toronto Public Library's Yorkville branch.
I see a few problems with your premise.
Browsing is important (so much so that a now-resigned Boardmember's proposal to simply warehouse half of TPL's books was sent down the shitter where it belonged). Subject-specific collections have to be housed somewhere (in some cases, in more than one branch). But if your concern is Yorkville's adequacy of addressing transgenders, we'd have to start with an analysis of transgenders' reading habits. Do they actually borrow books and read them?† Or is this another transgender demand that we pay obeisance to them in some way?
To expand on that, I imagine some newly-minted FTM or equivalent sashaying into Yorkville with the burning expectation that countless transgender books be right there for zim to look at and leaf through. Anything less than that clearly constitutes transphobia. Doesn't it?
A strength of an integrated library system is that items can travel to all branches. The one and only transgendered customer of Northern Elms branch has, in effect, the same access to transgender literature that someone who lives within walking distance of Yorkville does.
There is a proviso to that statement, though. The so-called LGBT collection at Yorkville is specially funded by a bequest, which you may not have known about. [She learned of that from me, I surmise.] The bequest allows the Library to buy overpriced documentary DVDs… and to put in extra effort to locate items otherwise deemed not commercially available (e.g., Paragraph 175 ). They also have the budget to buy basically every single bit of gay and lesbian literature that is remotely in print, but a lot of it is uncatalogued – it's assigned to YO in the system, but you can't search for it by author or title. (You would want to compare that with two other cases – floaters and generic trade paperbacks.) For those titles, you really do have to show up to Yorkville and browse, because authors and titles aren't listed in the catalogue. I doubt there are significant numbers of transgender-specific books in this category, though; it's mostly paperback fiction.
Also, Yorkville does in fact have a copy of The Man Who Would Be Queen . I'm wondering what else transgenders might actually need.
Next, I routinely see transgender-related books at other branches. An insistence that everything be concentrated in one branch is rather at odds with big-city needs. It also buttresses the lie that "LGBT" is real or exists.
Further, as the single largest submitter of blue title-suggestion forms (including forms for many foundational gay movies), and as a veteran of the interlibrary-loan system, I know that any lacunæ in the transgender collection can be addressed. The process is slow, but it works most of the time. TPL also has no problem buying from small presses and buying what amount to self-published items "published" by Lulu.
I assume you've done a comparison (as by using WorldCat) between the full complement of transgender books available vs. what TPL and YO respectively carry. Full API access to those databases would help this process.
Also, and this really should have been the first question along with the one marked by the dagger above, is this coming from some sort of complaint from a real transgendered person who really reads books, or is it based on some queer political motivation, i.e., transgenders are the most-picked-on wavelength in the great [LGBT2SQQQBLMORMORSS&SY] rainbow and this is just further proof of that?
There was never a satisfactory response. (She wrote back some political positioning statements. Her actual research is embarrassing enough; I won't publish what she wrote in E-mail.) Just the other week, I wrote her again proposing that her "research" had a predetermined outcome. She didn't respond to that, either.
Sawah was never going to respond to me fully because she believes my attitudes about trannies endanger her self-care. Here as elsewhere, Sawah was disingenuous from the start. Whereas I say what I mean and I back it up with research. So let's go through Sawah's failings one by one.
Actual complement of books at TPL compared to the full roster of transgender books in print
Sawah's first of many fatal flaws is failing to account for the actual number of transgender-related books in print that TPL could conceivably carry. Only then do you have any reasonable idea how adequate TPL's collection is. You have to know what the denominator of the fraction is before you can pass judgement on the numerator.
Sawah didn't bother looking this up, presumably because she doesn't know how (as her computer skills suggest). Luckily I do. Comparing Library of Congress and TPL records for books (English-language nonfiction, 1980–2014):
1,499 182 (12%)
transgender*
305 88 (29%)
transsexual*
249 8 (3%)
You don't need an MLS to realize that the overarching subject heading is gender identity . I included the other two as examples. (Subject headings for fiction – I did look into them – are too complex, scanty, and inconsistently applied to be usably analyzed here. Biography is another useful category, but I did not analyze it. Since Sawah has a preconception that libraries are all about books, neither of us explored cinema, music, or other formats.)
LC records include, in broad terms, every single item published by anyone who goes through the formality of registering copyright in the United States, plus the union of other catalogues. Many items are dissertations or are otherwise academic or too obscure to be reasonably found in a public-library system, even one that, like TPL's, has branches where academic materials circulate well (Pape, Gladstone, Parkdale). Further, many items are actually gay or lesbian books (i.e., in transgenders' view, the literature of the oppressor) that also treat transgenderism. An example would be Hilton Als' White Girls , which isn't about transgenders. (I know because I've been picking away at it for months and my third hold on it came through two days ago.)
To check my figures for reasonableness, I looked at other national libraries.
The orders of magnitude are, I believe, correct for the main subject heading because the British Library agrees with it – 1,013 results for gender identity (date-limited), plus 105 for transgender (all years) and 25 for transsexual (all years).
The much smaller Library and Archives Canada (48/5/11) and Australian National Library catalogues (414/49/129) give lower results, as one would expect. Those libraries' figures are too small and divergent to really be useful.
Putting all those together, and using only one significant digit, you don't have to be a Christian fundamentalist to conclude that a public library that holds about 10% of all gender-identity-related nonfiction books published in the last generation is doing pretty well, especially considering the size of the population involved and their simply unknown propensity to use the library.
Despite all the insinuations to the contrary, Sawah actually agrees that "based on the above empirical evidence, the library has current and extensive material." You wouldn't know it from her tone.
Where statistics cease to be relevant
Literature, as a human cultural keystone, is not subject to normal statistical distributions. Hence only an ideologue or an ignoramus would believe, as Sawah asserts, that "[i]n a perfect setting, frequencies of ratios between lesbian to gay-male to primarily-trans to peripherally-trans material would be equal."
Following from that misapprehension, Sawah actually alleges intentional discrimination and unequal treatment:
The large gap in percentage deviations cause me to conclude that staff and librarians are entirely forgetting (or consciously excluding) shelving trans material in LGBT books, or there is an absence of trans material in the branch.
(Except that, "based on the above empirical evidence, the library has current and extensive material.")
Transgender usage of the library
If you don't have a handle on this statistic, too, then your research is useless. Transgender usage of the library is utterly unknown and isn't remotely addressed in Sawah's paper. There would be straightforward ways to get a handle on this question:
Ask TPL
File an access-to-information request for all records pertinent to transgender usage
Ask your transgender friends, as on the only place they hang out these days, Twitter and Facebook, assuming you can distract them long enough from their métier of harassing lesbian feminists
Sawah didn't bother. I'm not going to, either, because I am not her paid thesis advisor. But really: How many transgendered patrons does the Yorkville branch have? Tens? I go there a lot and have never seen even one such person. That's "anecdata," obviously, but believe me, you can spot them even without the use of a speculum.
Pitting minorities against each other
Sawah's comparison to the library's Black and Caribbean Heritage Collection, housed at four branches, is specious. There are at least 350,000 blacks in the Toronto Census Metropolitan Area, or 21,000 Caribbeans and/or Jamaicans in the same area. Rainbow Health Ontario, which is really Transgender Health Ontario, could identify only 433 transgendered persons in the whole province. And that figure includes people who are transgender only in their own imaginings (i.e., who live in the same gender they were "assigned," itself a bright shining lie).
As such, the Toronto Public Library has roughly one transgender book for every second transgendered person in the province, let alone the city. Hardly evidence, and certainly not proof, of institutional transphobia, as Sawah has the gall to insinuate.
(And where, one might ask Sawah, is the intersectionality analysis? What about transwymmyn of colour? Don't these victors in the Diversity Olympics axiomatically deserve a well-distributed Black and Caribbean Heritage Collection?)
Similarly, Sawah whines that "TPL appears to be subsuming the 'T' under the 'L' and the 'G' " (this is really how she writes), "where the latter categories receive unequivocally more attention than the 'T.' " That would be because gays and lesbians outnumber transgenders by one or two orders of magnitude and our literature extends back to the dawn of civilization. It's also because the gay and lesbian community is real.
Sawah's other mistakes
As you can see, there's quite a list.
TPL fails to catalogue over 79% of the items in the LBGT books section – most items in [Yorkville's collection of] LGBT books cannot be searched in TPL's online database.
It costs more to catalogue some items than to buy them. Mass-market paperbacks, romance novels, comic books, and many junior and intermediate readers are not catalogued, for example, as are donations. Many uncatalogued items also aren't individually chosen; they show up via automatic-release program (ARP), which has its own drawbacks. Making the reasonable curatorial choice not to catalogue items enables TPL to buy essentially every gay and lesbian novel still in print and house them at Yorkville.
Further, many gay and lesbian titles start out with a few catalogued copies and, when trade-paperback editions appear, are carried in much higher numbers in uncatalogued form (two in my experience: The Metropolis Case ; Hate ).
the term "Collection" to describe the [LGBT] Collection is misleading because if one does not have a specific title in mind, then one is forced to browse the entire branch for materials.
This claim and others like it are false because transgender books all cluster around the same Dewey values. Stand at one bank of shelves and they're all right in front of you. They aren't scattered like maple keys throughout the countryside.
The factors that could lead to a skewed statistical analysis are: library users checking out items from LGBT books,
Listed as checked out in the system (true even of uncatalogued works, but that in practice is not a useful distinction because you'd need to know the barcode number, which you won't).
items placed on sorting carts waiting to be shelved,
Listed as returned or on sorting shelf.
missing or stolen items,
Listed as such (trace).
and multiple copies of one book.
Catalogued items show number of copies.
In other words, Sawah had access to all the figures needed to avoid "a skewed statistical analysis."
She doesn't know what the hell she's talking about when it comes to interloans and blue title-suggestion forms.
As we don't live under transgender fascist rule, the Toronto Public Library will not reject books for ideological impurity
Sawah actually writes the following with a straight face:
[T]here is no balance in trans representation. Most of these texts depict trans people as downtrodden: things are happening to trans characters as opposed to trans characters enacting their own sense of agency. The lack of balance in trans representation reproduces marginalization because a certain image of trans people [is] invoked – trans people as oppressed and alienated.
Then get your tranny friends to write books with different stories. The library will rush to buy them.
Libraries support freedoms of conscience and of speech, hence also a freedom that flows from those, freedom to read. Those are just some of the values upheld by the Toronto Public Library. Without freedom of conscience and freedom of speech, a library cannot exist.
If it were remotely legitimate to reject library books for the politics of their content, I can assure this greenhorn master's student that gay, lesbian, and, yes, transgender books would be targetted. But as transgenders demand complete obeisance to their own ideology, other people's freedoms, like freedom to read, are simply irrelevant to them. Actually, to a transgender, other people's freedom is transphobic.
The library can, should, and does select and make available transgender literature, films, and other works. I would expect nothing less and will defend to the utmost any library's choice to include such materials. (Or any lawful material, and in fact I can't think of a limitation on that.)
The incipient fascism doesn't stop there
Sawah explicitly demands re-education for Yorkville staff:
Every quarterly [ sic ], staff ought to attend in-service training, as well as read excerpts from trans-inclusion resource guides – many are available, even within Yorkville branch! If a staff member has received a number of complaints from patrons and other staff, then there should be an accountability and restorative justice process where staff members come to recognize the harms done.
For the group that purports to be the most marginalized in modern society, transgenders sure love to push people around. And on that theme:
Sawah endorses a key transgender lie
The category "lesbian" features texts that explicitly uses the term "lesbian," or describes subject matter that mobilizes the term "lesbian" (not necessarily female-identified people)
Lesbians are female. MTFs are male and cannot be lesbians. Their penises are not female.
"Gay male" is not a term I am deploying,
Because, to Sawah's class, gay males are the oppressor. (Except "gay males" with vaginas.)
but a term that was explicitly used in all of the texts in LGBT books. In this case, books that are "gay male" are: books that feature male-bodied or male-presenting people on the cover and… explicitly say "gay male"
"Male-presenting" people in this context are women. FTMs are not men. Their vaginas are not male.
Meanwhile, [this character's] parents are a heterosexual couple, yet the mother yearns for a gay-identified friend while her best friend who is female-bodied lusts after her.
This "gay-identified friend" is simply gay. The "female-bodied" best friend is female, not male.
Biological reality exists. If you want to write a book arguing otherwise, go right ahead; I will champion the library's purchase of it. The facts will remain unchanged.
The single stupidest thing Stephanie Sawah has ever written
I'm going out on a limb here because I have not read everything Sawah has written. But what the heck! Nobody could really top this stinker.
Since… one has to physically be at Yorkville to browse material, this situation reproduces class and ableist hierarchies: getting to Yorkville costs money.
Yet we're studying Yorkville branch.
Furthermore, not everyone is physically able to get to Yorkville, despite an accessible ramp existing at the branch.
Yet we have the Home Library Service.
The shelves are fairly high up
Yet reducing shelf height (which TPL actually does in branch renovations) forces librarians to throw out books and other items, materially altering the character of the library. (Short shelves result in undue hardship.)
Can't reach a shelf? Lots of people can't, not just a city's sole tranny in a wheelchair. Staff must and will walk around with you and retrieve items for you.
and not all the materials are available in large print or Braille.
Not all of anything is available in those formats (all numerical estimates in that regard are completely ficititious), and almost nobody reads Braille.
Your scholar of tomorrow, Stephanie Sawah.

Homepage > Exhibitions > Past Exhibitions > 2014 > Andy Warhol
Pop Art for Everyone
07 May - 20 July 2014
Pera Museum was pleased to announce its new spring exhibition Andy Warhol: Pop Art for Everyone. The exhibition was composed of selected works of Andy Warhol from the Zoya Museum Private Collection in Slovakia, Modra. Included in the show were silkscreen series and drawings exhibited for the first time in Turkey, iconic works such as Campbell's Soup, Cowboys and Indians, Endangered Species, and Flowers, accompanied by portraits of well-known important figures.
Andy Warhol's (1928–1987) artistic productivity was vast and impressive. More than twenty years after his death, Andy Warhol remains one of the most influential figures in contemporary art and culture. Warhol's life and work inspires creative thinkers worldwide thanks to his enduring imagery, his artfully cultivated celebrity, and the ongoing research of dedicated scholars. His impact as an artist is far deeper and greater than his one prescient observation that "everyone will be world famous for fifteen minutes." His omnivorous curiosity resulted in an enormous body of work that spanned every available medium and most importantly contributed to the collapse of boundaries between high and low culture.
Andy Warhol's manner, clothes, hair color, gestures; all were as significant as the works he created and the life he led. The concept that he ultimately triggered and crafted, of "artist as machine," operating mechanically both in the selection of his symbol and in the process of replicating it, emphasized the ordinariness, even banality of his actions. Nevertheless, his aspiration to play the role of a great artist remains undisputable.

Westholme's Under 13 Tennis team represented Blackburn with Darwen Schools in the Lancashire Schools' Summer Games Finals which were held at Stanley Park. All the schools taking place had already won their local competition, so the standard was extremely high.
The team of two boys and two girls all played singles matches on some rather bumpy grass tennis courts, where the bounces were very unpredictable. The matches consisted of a long timed tie-break style game, where every point counted and there were some very close matches.
Westholme won two matches, lost one match and drew one match. With these results, Westholme finished in third place and were awarded medals.


The first month with the hats has been full of learning and important revelations for me. Getting to know the hats and their sometimes peculiar needs has taken time and energy as well as familiarising myself with the studio, its people and ways of working. Not to mention using English as a working language! That can sometimes cause headache both to me, a Finnish speaker, as well as to the listener and create, if not language barriers, language fences over which the studio folk and I are trying to reach to each other. However, these challenges can be overcome with a bit of help from the kind, skillful people around me, I am sure of it! Also, the things you learn most from are just those which require stepping out of your comfort zone.
Back to the hats! It has become clear to me by having a closer look at them that various conservation treatments are needed in order for the hats to better survive the journey to Switzerland, the exhibition time there and all the handling that is involved in the process. Many of the hats are over a hundred years old and seen some life, first while in use and then as a part of a museum collection. They have suffered some wear and tear in the hands – or heads – of their wearers and no doubt by the English winds and weathers. Splits and creases on silk ribbons, tears and holes in lining, soiling and loose parts are common damages to mention just a few. Degradation has also continued after their retirement from proper hat life and after becoming a museum object. Much damage has been done by poor storage conditions such as lack of sufficient space and support. As a result, many of the hats are squashed with structural damage, for example splits in straw work, creased ribbons and crumbling flowers. On top of that, so called 'museum dirt' has been accumulating on the hats during their years as a part of a collection.
Picture 1: Squashed flowers on a straw bonnet.
Picture 2: A damage on a brim.
Picture 3: Stains on a silk ribbon.
Pictures 4 &5: A covered Styrofoam head. and a hat stand customized with tissue and covered with silk fabric for protection of a damaged lining inside of a bonnet.
Picture 6: A bonnet resting on a simple bean bag cushion and a nest made of tissue.
Being aware of the fragility of an object, which deceivingly may appear perfectly stable at a first glance, and remembering to sufficiently support the object while working is a continuous learning process for me.

Govt. to promulgate fresh ordinance on Land Bill
The government plans to bring a fresh Ordinance on the amended Land Bill before Parliament convenes on April 20 in the second half of the budget session.
April 02, 2015 02:35 am | Updated November 16, 2021 05:30 pm IST - NEW DELHI
Gargi Parsai
Even as the opposition to the Land Acquisition Bill continues in different quarters, the NDA government is determined to bring to Parliament its amended Bill through a fresh Ordinance. The amended NDA Bill to replace the new Ordinance will come to the Lok Sabha first, a Minister said on Wednesday.
The Ordinance, which was promulgated on December 31, ostensibly to bring 13 laws in line with the 2013 Act, will lapse on April 5. Now the government plans to bring a fresh Ordinance on the amended Land Bill before Parliament convenes on April 20 in the second half of the budget session.
"The Cabinet has taken a decision to re-promulgate the Ordinance. It will be a new one on the Bill that includes the nine amendments. The amended Bill will go back to the Lok Sabha for replacing the [new] Ordinance] and then to the Rajya Sabha," Parliamentary Affairs Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu told journalists on Wednesday.
Sources said the government would make all-out efforts to build a consensus on the amended Bill but if it faced roadblocks in the Upper House where the NDA falls short of numbers, it might go in for a joint session of Parliament.
The government has appointed five Ministers to visit States and coordinate efforts "against disinformation" on the Bill, which has been termed "anti-farmer" by the Congress and several farmers' organisations. The biggest objection is to the removal of provisions relating to consent and social impact assessment.
Among the amendments adopted in the Bill passed by the Lok Sabha were the omission of "social infrastructure" from acquisition of land for infrastructure purposes; a guarantee of employment to at least one member of the affected farm labourer; allowing courts to take cognisance of an erring official, provided the processes under the Criminal Procedure Court were followed, and taking care to acquire the "bare minimum land" for a project.
The government did not accept the Opposition's amendments on taking the consent of at least 70 per cent of the affected persons before acquiring land for private and public-private partnership projects. It also did not agree to take on board the amendment on carrying out a social impact assessment before acquiring land for various projects and during the rehabilitation of the affected.
Here are the six important facts you need to know about the Land Bill. Source: prsindia.org
1 The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (Amendment) Bill, 2015 seeks to Amend the Act of 2013 (LARR Act, 2013).
2 The Bill creates five special categories of land use: 1. defence, 2. rural infrastructure, 3. affordable housing, 4. industrial corridors, and 5. infrastructure projects including Public Private Partnership (PPP) projects where the central government owns the land
3 The Bill exempts the five categories from provisions of the LARR Act, 2013 which requires the consent of 80 per cent of land ownersto be obtained for private projects and that of 70 per cent of land owners for PPP projects.
4 The Bill allows exemption for projects in these five categories from requiring Social Impact Assessment be done to identify those affected and from the restrictions on the acquisition of irrigated multi-cropped land imposed by LARR Act 2013.
5 The Bill brings provisions for compensation, rehabilitation, and resettlement under other related Acts such as the National Highways Act and the Railways Act in consonance with the LARR Act.
6 The Bill changes acquisition of land for private companies mentioned in LARR Act, 2013 to acquisition for 'private entities'. A private entity could include companies, corporations and nonprofit organisations.

Yoder loop is foamed into cabinet when the liner is installed. If you live in a non humid area just bypass yoder loop and wipe down the gasket area to keep mold from forming. The heater kit is you next option.
CTG51, Thanks for the info! That sounds like it would NOT be fun trying to dig into the sealed case. Unless someone can tell me that it can come apart to install one? Maybe I could see the Yoder loop if I knew how to disassemble the front where the Yoder loop is?
Ryan, Thanks. My neighbor offered to put one in and showed me just what you you posted, but I told him I was determined (stubborn) to find the leak. He has the LokRing fittings and installation tool and said it would be a quick fix if I located it. Did I mention that the top of the freezer liner was sagging. Is it possible that the leaking refrigerant is having an effect on the glue holding it up? There is also a bulge in the plastic on the inside of the refrigerator right where I heard some low frequency noise with the stethoscope. Right next to that it looks like there is a rectangle area that is sunken. The neighbor came over and thinks that is where the leak is and the hot gasses melted the plastic and bulged it out. We went to Lowe's to look and see if any of the LG fridges had any defects like I just described with the bulge and we couldn't find any of coarse the fridge I have is years old. I was thinking of unplugging the condenser fan and firing it up again to test this theory.....heat up the refrigerant line and feel it if it is getting hot in that spot? Maybe drill a small hole and put in the sniffer? Bad idea? The hole would be small enough to plug with a plastic plug maybe if it didn't show a leak?
Hello, We are working on a Whirlpool Microwave and looking for a service manual . Model # GS475LEMS2 Serial # RS1411080 Thank you.
You might be out of luck on this one. Looks like it's so ancient that Whirlpool has given up on supplying its tech sheet. All I could find was the parts manual.
That was the problem. Thanks. I inspected the board. There was power in, and I did not find power going out. I didn't find the schematic, but, this seemed correct. Also there was a scorch mark on the board and heat damaged pins on a component. I replaced the board and the unit produced operating temperatures in less than 3 hours.

Reali raises $20M for its flat fee real estate platform

Reali, a real estate platform that replaces traditional real estate transaction fees with a flat fee model, today announced that it has raised a $20 million Series B funding round led by Zeev Ventures, with participation from Signia Venture Partners and other investors. This round brings Reali's total funding to $30 million.
The basic idea behind Reali is to do away with the current agent-centric commission model and replace it was a technology platform and agents that are paid a flat fee per transaction. To do this more efficiently in the future, Reali is looking to machine learning and artificial intelligence.
"We are fusing AI with human intelligence and optimized workflows around buyer and seller journeys — all towards a superior customer experience for real estate transactions that also result in significant savings for buyers and sellers," Reali CEO and founder Amit Haller told me.
It's no suprise then that much of the new funding will go toward expanding the company's expertise in this area. In addition, the service is also looking at expanding its service geographically. Currently, it's only available in the Bay Area and Sacramento. Reali now wants to add Southern California to this list. "We are in the process of recruiting and training a team of Reali Experts and on-the-ground Brand Ambassadors, and we expect to begin servicing buyers and sellers later this summer," said Haller. "We will be covering all of California this year, followed by out-of-state markets."
So far, Reali says, the platform has processed "hundreds of millions of dollars in homes bought and sold." The company boasts that its agents are far more efficient than other brokers on a per-transaction basis and that they have a Net Promotor Score of 85.2. The company's app has only been downloaded 30,000 times since January 2017, though that number doesn't mean much given that the service is only available in a very limited area.

On this website, you'll find a variety of different personal development resources ranging from study tips, fitness, health, and productivity advice.
I want my own triumphs and failures to help someone out who manages to crash into this blog.
My passion for writing ignited when I lost my Dad to lung cancer before my Freshman year in High School. I wrote about what I was going through and had a strong desire to help others going through the same thing.
People will be hesitant to ask other people for help, so they might choose an online resource for advice. Aside from dealing with grief, people may tell you that there's no use in starting a long distance relationship, or that it's too scary to go travel far for college.
This blog will go against these standards.
Remember to push past fear and say hello to uncertainty and the adrenaline rush, then reap the rewards.
Go against the norm and set out to work hard for whatever you believe in.
It doesn't matter if people bring you down, or if it's something someone has never done before.
If you have a goal, and you believe you can contribute to something that is missing in the world, do us all a favor and show us all what you've got.
Are you supposed to live life in a boring way and do whatever people tell you to do?
Do you want to stand up for what you believe in and protect your dream?
…or will you choose to passively accept whatever obstacle life throws at you?
Are people going to try and shut you down whenever you have a different opinion from them?
Be a Maverick and set a new standard.
Take ahold of the steering wheel and go live life on your terms. Don't apologize…get out there and become a MAVERICK.
Below, you will find the original "About Page" for this blog.
My name is Jordan Reyes and I am a twenty-two-year-old college student-athlete from Southern California. I moved 3,000 miles away from home to go to school at New York University. I also briefly lived and studied abroad in Madrid, Spain. I started this blog to help motivate and push people to stay true to their beliefs even if they go against the norm. This blog is dedicated to helping people deal with loss, relationships, motivations, and college life. On the West Coast, you can find me surfing all over California and making small trips to Hawaii. During the school year, I'm in New York City. You can find me running or skating through the traffic.
Don't yell "run Forrest run" to me cause I have heard that so many times. It's getting old.
I run track and cross country at NYU.
I am in a long distance relationship with my girlfriend in California.
I am half Filipino and half Guamanian/Chamorro.
I play guitar like a try hard.
I surf, snowboard, skateboard, and love dogs like a try hard.
You can't beat me in a game of Guitar Hero or Super Smash Bros.
