Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" and the Trans Experience
If I had a nickel for every time I've had to read "The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka in an English class, I'd have two nickles. This double read has given me much time to consider this short story and what it is trying to communicate. But for a story about a salesman turning into a bug, who would have noticed its effectiveness as a trans allegory?

How To Deal With Bullies At Work
The thing about bullies is that deep down they are nothing more than cowards. They try to use intimidation and fear to get what they want. Unfortunately, their victims fall all too easily into the trap of being afraid and give in to their demands. In many cases, if not all, bullies are people who have themselves been bullied and have learnt how it works. Ergo, bullying is not genetic, it is learnt behaviour. But you do not have to be a victim to bullies if you calmly sit down and think it through to yourself and see it for what it really is.

Customer Service Secrets

Alex Cooper Auctioneers
The Alex Cooper Auctioneers business started in 1924, when a youthful Alex Cooper set up his bartering house, selling land, collectibles, and expressive arts. The foundation was situated in the 400 square of North Howard Street. In the following 90 years, the organization has developed to incorporate three additional ages, upheld by a group of just about 50, who are presently effectively associated with the everyday business. By the 1940s the business had developed and dropped down to 212 North Calvert Street.

Egon Schiele and the Art of Going Insane
So there is this painting, which you are maybe familiar with entitled, Seated Woman with Legs Drawn Up. Austrian artist and Gustav Klimt protégé, Egon Schiele painted it in 1917, two years after he had married one Edith Harms. Edith was, by all accounts, a perfectly charming woman with a perfectly respectable middle-class background. However, the sitter for Seated Woman with Legs Drawn Up is decidedly not Edith.

THE POWER OF YOUR FIRST NAME
Find out what message your first name contains. The full first name given at birth gives the active number. Calculation method: all letters are encrypted, and the result is reduced to a single digit number. Exceptions are the master numbers 11, 22 and 33 (in this precise article, the number 33 is excluded from interpretation, but you can add the 2 digits and use the meanings of the 6 active number, if it happens for you to be a 33, which is very RARE) , which can be reduced to a single digit (1+1=2, 2+2=4, 3+3=6) but they are also interpreted as 2 digit numbers.

THE GRAY AREA
Relationships are not always black and white. And sometimes, a break-up can leave you seeing red. And we are often left not just with the loss of a person, but with the realization that at some point, you have lost a portion of yourself as well. And we can fear repeating the cycle. While that can be a daunting or jarring revelation, there are a number of things we can do in between relationships to make sure that a whole, healthy, and healed individual shows up at your next pairing.
