Alec Reid’s ghosts of the 21st century seldom lurk in old houses or waft across chilly moors. His dark tales may breathe alongside the supernatural, but they take place in broad daylight, in our daily lives. Their themes include dead warriors resurrected via Bluetooth, Rumpelstiltskin in the suburbs, an algorithmic fear of ghosts, and the shattered dreams of immortality. The world they describe is the one you inhabit, but you would live in terror were you to recognize it for what it is.

Une enfant de la DPJ, voilà ce que je suis. Ces trois lettres me suivront toute ma vie. J'en suis marquée au fer rouge, comme du bétail.

Séquestrée, j'ai grugé les barreaux de mon lit pour ne pas mourir de faim. Abandonnée, j'ai cherché à être aimée à n'importe quel prix. Mais qui veut s'occuper d'une fillette avec un bagage aussi lourd ?

Therapy fails sex workers. Despite the wide range of sex work—from street-based to OnlyFans—clinicians too often focus on what they think sex workers need, instead of building trust, developing rapport, and really doing the work to understand the unique stressors that make quality mental health care essential for sex worker communities. Sex-positive therapists Theo Burnes and Jamila Dawson break down everything that mental health providers need to know to work effectively with sex workers, while dispeling the tired, pervasive myths that continue to impact treatment today.

Если нет – для тебя все закончится навсегда». И вроде бы, повезло: я оказалась в теле юной красавицы – таким лицом только царей соблазнять!

L'estate avvampa a Palermo, la terra è arida e i bacini a secco. Dai rubinetti, come sempre in agosto, l'acqua scende appena, sui marciapiedi l'immondizia fermenta rendendo l'aria irrespirabile, e a nulla servono preghiere e invocazioni a santa Rosalia affinché faccia piovere. I poveri si muovono nei bassi come fantasmi nella polvere, i più abbienti hanno già lasciato i quartieri alti per le loro ville al mare.

Tutti gli anni, dal sette dicembre al sette gennaio, Palermo è in preda al demone del gioco: aristocratici, borghesi e modesti cittadini, giovani, vecchi e bambini sono vittime della medesima febbre. Sul tavolo verde si impegnano esigui risparmi o ricchi patrimoni nell'irrinunciabile rito collettivo delle feste invernali. Marò Pajno sta attraversando un periodo difficile, e il freddo che sente dentro non è legato solo alla pioggia che affligge senza sosta la città.
