The early 2000s conjures images of dial-up internet connections, inflatable furniture, Hummer H2s, blinged out rap videos, and the feeling that the stock market would go up forever. The arrival of the new millennium was marked by a sense of both unbridled optimism and existential dread. For many it felt like the end of history; we’d solved all the big problems. No more wars, no more racism, no more sexism. But then history kept happening. In Y2K, Colette Shade offers a darkly funny meditation, unpacking everything from the pop culture to the political economy of the period.

Life isn’t a fairytale, but for a few days I got to pretend it was. Now I’m back in my childhood bedroom in New York, eating breakup ice cream and listening to early 2000s emo music. Whatever, this was the wake-up call I needed. It’s time for Ria 2.0. No more bailouts. No more half-baked projects. No more impulsive decisions. Simple, right? Except my ex-boyfriend wants to drop the ex part, the three bears aren’t so willing to let their Goldilocks go, and their mother is more Wicked Witch than Mama Bear.

Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Goldilocks, who innocently wandered into a home owned by a family of bears.... Okay, my name is Ria. And I may have broken in, but I was high and it was cold outside. Oh, and the bears were actually shifters. Potayto, potahto. The point is, I’m kind of a wreck. Plus, I robbed my cheating, lying a-hole of an ex-boyfriend on my way out the door and he’s not thrilled about it, so I’m stuck with these three distractingly attractive men for the time being—one of whom is weirdly hung up on the whole breaking-and-entering thing. What could go wrong?

By the time an agathos woman reaches twenty-five, she's supposed to be one thing, and one thing only: Bonded. I'm zero for four soul bonds, a disgrace to my family, and the black sheep of my community.

I've watched from the sidelines as my friends found themselves bound to the same agathos. I've stood aside and wondered if she was mine. I've watched, I've waited, I've hurt. And I've wondered. Finally, the time for all that is over now. I've arrived in Greece and it's time to find out if a little of my soul belongs to an agathos too. And if it is . . . How can I live with that? Knowing what the agathos have done? The pain they've caused me?

It's a simple fact that the people who make policy and oversee government, sports, business, and the arts and entertainment are most commonly white men. Another fact: We cannot achieve meaningful progress if we exclude the very people who have the power to make systemic change.

Instead, listeners will learn to view the work they do through a racial equity lens so they can easily and immediately begin making changes.

Selene cares about three things in life. Her prestigious position as Lieutenant of the Guard that very few of the elite at Court feel she deserves.

Austin only cares about one thing in life: Music. But Austin's rockstar dreams never came true, and the bottom of the bottle isn't giving him the answers he's searching for. Maybe, just maybe, a prickly Shade with a secret wild side will.

"Sido" et "Les Vrilles de la vigne" sont deux textes distincts de l’œuvre de Colette, tous deux d’inspiration autobiographique. Dans "Sido" (1930), Colette évoque le souvenir de sa mère tant aimée, puis son père, l’amour qui unissait ses parents et raconte son enfance heureuse au sein d’une campagne bourguignonne idyllique. Cette éducation harmonieuse a profondément marqué sa manière de vivre. Sous le personnage de l’écrivaine parisienne affleure la jeune fille qui apprit à vivre au rythme des saisons et à goûter la sensualité de la vie.

A travers une compilation de conversations inédites qu’il a pu partager avec des personnes rencontrées au gré de ses voyages, Jiddu Krishnamurti, éminent philosophe du XXe siècle, explore les domaines de l’être et de la conscience, de l’éducation, ou encore de la méditation.

A year of messaging on the Cuffd app has led me to understand one thing: Troy is the one meaningful relationship I’ve ever had.
