Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
of motivation, however during the end of the nineteenth century and beginning of the twentieth century the issue was one of power and control. The attraction of scientific management was the way it fragmented the production process and placed management in control, transferring the power of discretion to employers away from employees (Huczyniski and Buchanan, 1996). However, despite these changes revisionist labour historiography stresses a loss of power to the employers as a result of lacking solidarity in the employers class and a rise of solidarity in the workers class, creating a disproportionate influence for the first time favouring workers. The argument does not indicate the employers were powerless and victims of the unions, but the balance of power was shifting. In examining the period between 1870 and 1914 there are major changes in the employment relationship. The change is the increase in workers power, not only directly, but also through influence. At the beginning of this period the Master and Servant Act 1867 was in place (Lockton, 1999). The Gas stokers sought changes in this law, possibly spurred on by being found guilty of breaching their employment contract, which at the time was a criminal offence (Laybourn, 1997). Therefore at this stage, whatever the degree of solidarity between employers, they are in the most powerful position. Scotland had started the change, when in 1867, as a result of Scottish Unions activity, the power of arrest was taken away, and an arrest warrant was needed, but in England the workers could simply be summonsed (Laybourn, 1997). The inequality and as such a reflection of the contemporary power paradigm was the absence of criminal proceeding where there was a breach by the employer (Laybourn, 1997).

Here at Eventus HQ we've been hard at work over the last few days getting ready for a team building event next week. Our goal was to take one of our all-time favourite team events – Labyrinth – and then give it a bit of a twist. Here's the gameboard produced for the new version which we have christened "Labyrinth Voyager".
As you can see, this version involves a voyage around the world with seven possible destinations. The green ticks are in place of visas; up to three teams can visit a destination at the same time. There is strategy involved moving around the world without becoming trapped! And then there are all those other things we "love" about international travel: volcanic eruptions, industrial action, political instability, bad weather delays and many more to keep all our teams on their toes!
Lots of our customers have international operations so we are really hoping that this new addition will be well-received. We already have a team activity called Round the World – which is delivered by a recording-breaking round-the-world yachtsman. And we also have International Marble Run – a competitive and collaborative team activity which involves linking together giant pipelines. So we are well-placed to help with your next team building event with an international flavour!
EDIT on 12 January: We are delighted to add a post-script announcing that, following the trial run in December, we have now fully launched this activity under the name simply of "Voyager". We've angled it to share more similarities with the popular TV game show The Amazing Race. So if an amazing race team building activity appeals for your next event, check it out!

From a talent who's been compared to Annie Dillard, Edward Abbey, David Quammen, and Jared Diamond, On Trails is a wondrous exploration of how trails help us understand the world—from invisible ant trails to hiking paths that span continents, from interstate highways to the Internet.
While thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail, Robert Moor began to wonder about the paths that lie beneath our feet: How do they form? Why do some improve over time while others fade? What makes us follow or strike off on our own? Over the course of seven years, Moor traveled the globe, exploring trails of all kinds, from the miniscule to the massive. He learned the tricks of master trail-builders, hunted down long-lost Cherokee trails, and traced the origins of our road networks and the Internet. In each chapter, Moor interweaves his adventures with findings from science, history, philosophy, and nature writing.

A man is accused of dousing his two coworkers with gasoline and setting them on fire in White Marsh, Maryland.
According to fellow coworkers of the men, on Dec. 4, a workplace dispute was supposed to be settled with a fistfight, but then things took a drastic turn, WBAL reports.
The entire incident at a gas station was captured on video and shared online.
"We were recording for a fight," David Widener, who recorded the video and posted it online, told WBAL.
Christopher Harrison Jr., 28, allegedly poured gas on two of his coworkers and set them on fire. Both men are currently in critical condition.
"He threw the gas on him and caught him on fire, and it just happened so quick," Anthony Rodriguez, a fellow coworker of the three men, said.
Rodriguez added that there was an ongoing dispute between Harrison and one of the victims.
"They kept pushing him and pushing him, saying that they wanted to fight him," he said.
"They had agreed to settle it," Widener added. "Nothing besides that was said, even leading up to the altercation. They both took their shirts off and appeared like they were going to fight."
The two men are being treated in a burn unit.
"According to our detectives, they received information from the hospital that one of the victims received burns over 90 percent of his body, and his burns are so significant that his clothes were burned off of him at the scene," Baltimore County police Cpl. Shawn Vinson said. "A second victim received burns over 60 percent of his body."
The video will be used as part of the police investigation.
Harrison has been charged with attempted first-degree murder, first-and-second-degree assault, and reckless endangerment, The Baltimore Sun reports. He is being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center.

The city's downtown will be the home of a culinary incubator and café designed to create jobs for upcoming foodie entrepreneurs.
The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation announced Tuesday it is awarding $650,000 to a Knight Cities Challenge proposal called "ArtHouse: a Social Kitchen," submitted by the Rebuild Foundation, in conjunction with the Harris School of Public Policy. Both groups are based at the University of Chicago, whose students have been working on projects to revitalize the city since 2012.
Knight Foundation officials said more than 7,000 groups entered the competition and they called Gary's project "an innovative idea for making the city a more vibrant place to live and work by repurposing a downtown space."
Gary's proposal is one of 32 winners in 12 cities.
"The incubator stood out, it has a solid team behind it and it did the research," said Bahai Ramos, director/Knight Community Foundations."It comes from a place authentic to what Gary is, rather than some lofty ideal about what could happen. It's using food, things as simple as congregating around food and using a kitchen to express talents and creativity and build a marketplace."
The city is in partnership with the winning applicant, Ramos said. "It's an opportunity for residents to step up and take ownership of the city," she said.
Ramos said the applicants have been laying the groundwork in the city since last year. "Rebuild has demonstrated the ability in Chicago to build engagement. We wanted it be squarely centered in building economic opportunities for residents." Ramos said the goal of the project is for it to be self-sustaining after 18 months.
While critics say the lease deal for the renovation and operation of the Indiana Dunes State Pavilion leaves the door to future improvements, state officials defended the process as open and fair.
Project leaders Carol Brown, of Chicago's Harris School of Public Policy, and Lori Berko, of the Rebuild Foundation, began pitching separate projects, then merged.
Brown said the idea to establish a culinary business incubator came from Harris School students who worked in the city on a variety of projects aimed at revitalizing the city. Earlier, they helped the city take an inventory of its vacant housing stock that also led to a grant award.
Berko said the incubator would serve as a community training kitchen, a culinary business accelerator, and a potluck café. She said when the café is completed, they'll host dinners to drum up interest and support. Some dinners, may be held in private homes, as well.
The partners, which also include the Lake County-based Legacy Foundation, haven't selected a downtown site yet. Brown and Berko said they are looking at vacant properties along Broadway and 5th Avenue, near the U.S. Steel Yard. They hope to find a site that already has a kitchen in place.
GARY — Parents and community members are invited to offer input on the closing of the Dunbar-Pulaski Middle School in a forum at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday at the school, 920 E. 19th Ave.
Berko cited a two other culinary incubator models — Inspiration Kitchen in East Garfield Park in Chicago and La Cocina in San Francisco. She said they've been successful, so far.
Brown credited Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson for her leadership in tapping into viable job opportunities for Gary residents. Gary's unemployment rate is as high as 40 percent, Freeman-Wilson said during her state of the city address last month.
Freeman-Wilson was scheduled to hold a City Hall press conference at 6 p.m. Tuesday with the Knight Foundation to announce the grant. Cities that once were home to Knight newspapers were eligible for the competition. The Post-Tribune was once owned by the Knight-Ridder newspaper chain.

Could an arachnoid cyst cause mental health problems?
Is there a link between an arachnoid cyst in the brain and mental heath, as well as cognitive ability being impaired?
Hey. My dad had such a problem. I read a lot about her and can give advice.
I know that most of the arachnoid cysts are congenital (at birth), they usually do not cause any symptoms throughout the life of a person. The development of symptoms depends on the size and specific location of the cyst in the brain. Small cysts usually do not cause symptoms, and most of them remain constant in size. However, some of them increase in size and eventually cause the appearance of symptoms, especially if they click on the cranial nerve, brain or spinal cord.
If the cyst exerts an increased pressure on brain structures, neurological symptoms may develop. These symptoms can include developmental delays, behavioral changes, inability to control voluntary movements (ataxia), difficulty with balance, walking and cognitive impairment. I have also heard of weakness or paralysis from one side of the body (hemiparesis). Symptoms are often eliminated or improved in treatment, but if left untreated, the progressive growth of the arachnoid cyst can eventually cause permanent severe neurological damage.
If you need medical advice, you can contact the doctors or other health professionals who have experience with this disease. You can find these specialists through advocacy organizations, clinical trials or articles published in medical journals. You can also go to a university or a tertiary health center in your area because these centers tend to see more complicated cases and have the latest technology and treatments.

It is getting closer to that time of the year where we decide to be reflective of our lives. We start to look back at our New Year's Resolutions, Vision Boards, and To Do lists to measure our progress of the year. However, I would like to challenge everyone to ask yourself where did you become better.
What did you accomplish and focus on that. Become celebratory of the hurdles you've jumped.
What did you begin and plan to finish? Make goals to accomplish those this coming up year.
What relationships stayed and which ones disappear? Pay attention to those and nurture them.
We often focus on what we did not do instead of what we have done. Even if it is not much of an accomplishment, you made a step forward.
This year, for me, was a year of learning myself. What I can tolerate. What I can no longer tolerate. What makes me happy. What makes me unhappy. When should I speak? When should I not speak? What makes me who I am as a person.
So, with that being said, I have decided to focus on what made me happy this year and continue do more of that. these are a few things I am focusing on coming into the new year.
Loving more. What I mean by loving more, has zero to do with my love life. Loving everyone that I come encounter with. Just geunienly giving love back to the world. The way this world is headed we all need a little love, right?
Living in the moment. Living more in the moment, instead of documenting my every move on social media has helped me this year. I enjoy moments with others and keep those moments close to my heart.
Stopping the over-thinking. I am the queen of over thinking. Even when stuff goes right, I overthink. What if this doesn't go how I picture it? What if I am being completely used by this man, just for his own personal gain? See how this gets you completely no where? The more you over think, the more you stop moving. I vow to myself to stop the over thinking.
Travel more/Experience More People. I spent way too much time in TN this year. I need to get out a little bit. I will make myself travel more and see the world. I honestly believe, I am not meeting more great people because I have not experienced the world enough.
Continue getting closer to God. The bible saved me this year. If it truly wasn't for God, I could not get through this year. With God, I am loved and comforted. The closer I am to him, the more I understand my true self.
Doing what I love more. Not just career wise, but also in a general sense. I have always had the love to help others. It makes me happy really. Nothing brings me more joy than to do something that makes my heart happy.I need to do more of that for sure.
Eliminate Distractions. Social Media, I swear you have been the death of me. I am so distracted by other people's lives that I found myself comparing my moves with theirs. However, this coming year, there will be none of that stuff. Social Media, you will not win this battle.
Stop making excuses and just do. I make a lot of excuses as to why I do not do something. there is always an excuse. I can not do "this" because of "that". Well, no more excuses. This road to happiness requires no excuses.
Letting the old things go while replacing them with better things. I have decided to let things go that do not make me happy or add to my growth completely. You can not have any growth if you are still living in old soil. So for now on, old hurt and mistakes will not define me and my decisions in life. They are hindering me more than anything.

Q: Using the "not" operator with find not working as expected I have a directory "X" with a subdirectory called "lib", as well as other files and directories. This "lib" subdirectory in turn has a bunch of directories and files itself. I am trying to use find to get the pathnames to everything in directory X except anything that has to do with "lib".
So, I tried doing this:
find -not -name "lib*"
This will exclude the path ./lib from the output, but will include everything in the lib directory itself i.e lib/*. I also tried:
find -not -name "lib/*"
but that gave me the same result
PS: I also tried find -not -name lib* but still got the same result

A: The -name option to find looks only at the individual file name, not the full path to the file. If you want to match on the full path, you need the -path option.
Some examples in a quick test tree I created:
$ find .
.
./b
./a
./lib
./lib/la
./lib/lb

What you are doing with -name (skips lib itself, but doesn't skip files within lib because it is only looking at the individual file names):
$ find . -not -name 'lib*'
.
./b
./a
./lib/la
./lib/lb

What you probably want:
$ find . -not -path './lib*'
.
./b
./a

Note that because -path looks at the full path, I now need to add the initial ./ prefix as well.

These freezer friendly sloppy joes are a new family favorite. I have tried many recipes and this one I have adapted from The Pioneer Woman is my absolute favorite.
This meal is great fresh off the skillet, but pinky swear, it is just as good from the freezer.
This is lighting fast to put on the table and I give you permission to be a total bum with side dishes and serve baby carrots and/or grapes with it. A green salad is awesome if you are feeling really "fancy".
I think I love these as much as my son. Sweet and tangy and ready in minutes out of the freezer. Make a double batch, you won't regret it!
Start by browning the ground beef in a large pot over medium-high heat. Drain off the fat.
Add in the red peppers and onions and sauté about 5 minutes to soften.
Add 1 cup water, the ketchup and garlic. Stir it around to combine, and then add the brown sugar, chili powder, mustard, hot sauce, Worcestershire, salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine, and then cover and simmer over medium-low heat, about 15 minutes.
Let finished mixture cool to room temperature in pan. Divide the mixture to best suit your needs. For example I find this recipe realistically yields 6 servings (your nutritionist would rather this serve 8 however.) I divide this recipe evenly into three quart sized freezer bags. Each bag will provide 2 serving I can feed my kids for rushed on the go dinners made just for them. You could also freeze it in one Gallon sized freezer bag to serve the whole family with the potential for seconds or leftovers.
-TO SERVE FROM FROZEN- Take out bag of frozen sloppy joes and defrost on counter or in fridge. If you are taking it out of freezer at the last minute you can defrost it in a bowl or room temperature water for much faster results. Place defrosted (or partially defrosted) mixture into medium sized skillet and warm over low/meduim low until heated through.
I serve on whole wheat bulkie rolls with a side of carrot sticks, grapes, or a side salad.

I Don't Care if Our Attention Spans Are Shorter
The other day I heard a statistic that caused the people around me to gasp in horror: people now have attention spans shorter than a goldfish, only 6 seconds. Shock! Amazement! Terror! Technology will destroy us and we won't be able to have meaningful lives or relationships anymore and we'll never learn things or grow as people because we can't focus for more than 6 seconds.
Fun fact, it took me more than 6 seconds to write that paragraph, uninterrupted. All I did was write that paragraph, for more than 6 seconds. I wonder if attention span science isn't as great as it's cracked up to be? Or perhaps our attention spans change based on context. Huh.
But if I'm honest, I actually don't give a rat's ass if our attention spans have grown shorter. We've been hearing this same kind of complaint about new technologies for literally thousands of years. Our dear pal Socrates was opposed to writing because "[Writing] will create forgetfulness in the learners' souls, because they will not use their memories; they will trust to the external written characters and not remember of themselves. The specific which you have discovered is an aid not to memory, but to reminiscence, and you give your disciples not truth, but only the semblance of truth; they will be hearers of many things and will have learned nothing; they will appear to be omniscient and will generally know nothing; they will be tiresome company, having the show of wisdom without the reality." (From the Phaedrus).
People have complained about technologies ranging from the printing press, to the telephone, to television and beyond, convinced that each of these technological improvements will make us less intelligent, or maybe just destroy society. Amazingly, here we all still are, capable of functioning, making new discoveries, improving technology even further, and maybe still remotely intelligent.
Because here's the deal: our minds change in reaction to the world around us. We are adaptable and flexible beings. We change to fit the environment that we live in. Perhaps we do have worse memories than the ancient Greeks did. But you know what? I don't care. There is nothing inherently better about being able to remember more things. The world that we have today is one in which we don't need to remember things as much as we used to. It's incredibly rare that we won't be around a computer, phone, or other device that allows us to look things up. Being able to remember vast stores of information is no longer actually very helpful.
Instead, what is helpful is being able to sort through huge amounts of information, cope in a setting where there are many competing distractions, and suss out what is important or useful or true at any given point. No one seems to be asking whether the changes that are happening in human brains (if they are in fact happening) are USEFUL. Are we losing memory to make space for quick shifts in focus that allow us to notice the hundreds of distractions but still move back to what we were doing before? Are our brains beginning to pick up more of an ability to focus on multiple things at once? Why do we always assume change is bad?
Nowhere are we taking the time to ask what we get out of the change. Amazingly, things like this tend to happen for a reason other than "kids these days."
I can't help but feel as if all this worry about shorter attention spans and bad memories is just more angry old men yelling at clouds. I have yet to see any criticisms of these changes in the human brain that actually tell me WHY it's bad for our brains to change in these ways. They all assume that we're already on board, that we all want really long, focused attention spans or great memories. And it seems like the reason that they assume we're already on board is because those are things we've prized in the past so they must be good now, even though the world is different now, our needs and abilities are different now, work is different now. Different is not less, even if we couch the difference in terms of deficits.
So no, I don't care if our attention spans are shorter. I care if we are functional in the world we've got. And overall we seem to be doing pretty well.

This is the final post in a series about Kesha's album Rainbow. You can find the rest of the series here: 1, 2, 3, 4.
I have not addressed every song on Rainbow, but I think that this post is going to be the final post of the series, because I feel I've addressed most of the elements that are important to me. I'm going to wrap up with my favorite song, as well as a short discussion of why Kesha's choice to release essays in conjunction with the album was, I think, absolutely brilliant.
So let's talk about Woman.
Just take a moment with that.
Take a moment with Kesha's fucking gold motherfucking outfit.
Take a moment with every single bird that Kesha flips.
Take a moment with backup singer Saundra Williams and how utterly glorious her side eye is.
Just take a moment.
I'm going to quote a big old chunk from Kesha's essay about this song, because this essay is one of my favorites.
"I realized that for most of my life I was intimidated to even try and run in the leagues of the people I look up to. With "Woman," I hope my fans will hear that wild spirit still strong inside me but this time it was created more raw, spontaneously and with all live instrumentation, which I found was a huge reason I loved the records I did love. There were one or two or 12 different people playing real instruments together, and all that real human energy is exciting and very fun to listen to. I wanted this song to capture that organic, raw, soulful sound and keep the imperfect moments in the recordings because I find the magic in the imperfections."
This song is all about those organic moments, and I think that's why I love it so much. I love the horns. I love the syncopation in the chorus. I love how many times she says motherfuckin'. This is a song that came straight from someone's heart, with so much joy that she couldn't seem to contain it. I LOVE that it is a song about being independent, adult, and responsible without being boring or stodgy, and without feeling a need to put down men (it just says she doesn't need a man to hold her too tight. You can still have a relationship and be independent).
Perhaps my favorite thing about this song is that it's tacky. I mean that in a totally loving way. Kesha is wearing an entirely gold, sparkly outfit. It's ridiculous and my absolute favorite thing. She swears. She is unabashed. But that's the thing: she doesn't have to be some kind of put together lady to be an adult who is confident, beautiful, self sufficient, and AMAZING. This song sends the message that independence doesn't mean one thing. It can mean what feels right and empowering to YOU.
To complement that message, in her essay Kesha writes "I really have to thank Stephen Wrabel and Drew Pearson for helping me through the past few years and making writing songs a beautiful thing again. Both of those men made my art/work safe and fun, and every session with the two of them was so healing." First, way to give a huge middle finger to Dr. Doucheface without actually ever having to mention him, second, thank you for making me cry at the fact that you had to do art and work in a place that didn't make you feel safe, and third, kudos for recognizing that THIS was what felt safe and healing for you, then putting that out there. It doesn't look the same to everyone, but working with these two men was empowering for her, and I so appreciate her speaking openly about her process. Her use of the word "safe" feels incredibly important when we have folks freaking out about phrases like "safe space".
The final thing I'd like to touch on in regards to Rainbow is Kesha's choice(s) of media.
Assault and trauma are both incredibly complex things. Many people express their experiences of them through art. That art is often incredibly helpful to other people and can start a dialogue around trauma and assault. What's interesting about that process is that more often than not the artist does not really join in the conversation ABOUT their art. Kesha has taken control of the dialogue from the start by writing essays that give more depth to her art.
Each of the essays allows readers to see how Kesha herself views the song, the stories behind the songs, and the history of her depression and eating disorder. Songs are not the best medium for a narrative or explanation, which is why I think Kesha's choice to include essays is really useful to the overall understanding of this album as a process of healing. Combined with the visual elements of four music videos (which is a lot for an album that's only 14 songs long), Kesha has created something that is truly multimedia. Especially since she released four songs early, each accompanied by a video and an essay, we got a tone for the album that said "this is bigger than the individual songs."
Not only that, but there is play between the songs. Kesha repeatedly references herself as a kitty or cat (classic jazz language that plays into her change in genre in this album), in Rainbow she sings "You gotta learn to let go, put the past behind you", a clear reference to Learn to Let Go (which helps us see the relationship between the two: Rainbow is your motivation for Learn to Let G0), and generally creates an album in which you know that the songs do not stand alone but are meant to be taken as a whole.
When Kesha writes in her essay on Hymn: "This song is dedicated to all the idealistic people around the world who refuse to turn their backs on progress, love and equality whenever they are challenged. It's dedicated to the people who went out into the streets all over the world to protest against racism, hate and division of any kind. It's also dedicated to anyone who feels like they are not understood by the world or respected for exactly who they are. It's a hopeful song about all of these people — which I consider myself one of — and the power that we all have when we all come together," you know that she's paying attention. She knows that her album is about more than herself, and she is inviting a conversation. She says that she is creating a space for others. It makes the song bigger than a simple squad anthem and into an anthem for the oppressed.
These essays have turned a simple piece of art into a powerhouse of social justice work in my opinion. I am so impressed with everything Kesha has done to make this album not simply musically powerful, but also powerful in its message. I love you Kesha. This album is so important.

Rainbow, Spaceship, Learn to Let Go
This is part four in an exploration of Kesha's new album 'Rainbow'. Find parts 1, 2, and 3.
I'm not going to spend as much time on each individual song as I did on Praying and Boots, but instead will be clumping a few songs of similar themes together where it makes sense. In this case, there are quite a few songs on Rainbow that are about moving on, finding hope, or growing and changing after a challenging time. I'm going to focus on Rainbow, Spaceship, and Learn to Let Go for this post, as all three of these songs circulate around this attitude of healing and growing.
If I were to place these songs, they would be the songs of recovery, the ones that come after trauma, depression, an eating disorder, the darkest places. These are the songs that you can write when you're coming out the other side. They are the joyful songs of the album, and I love that they coexist on an album with songs as honestly painful as Praying.
This is a side of Kesha that we don't see very often and I really appreciate that she felt empowered to show it, to let us in to a sweet, naive version of herself. I love that part of her healing is not about being aggressive or strong or any of those things, but just being a kid again. She seems so intensely free in these songs and it feels very hopeful to me in a way that goes beyond the "you'll find a rainbow" but in a way that says "you get to have joy after trauma."
In her essay about Learn to Let Go, she writes "I've looked at this record, 'Rainbow,' as me being myself, Kesha Rose Sebert, my name without the dollar sign, genuinely for the first time ever. I mean that on every level but especially musically ― and that's really scary for me." This really comes through, especially in the video for Learn to Let Go, which puts home videos of Kesha as a child next to an adult Kesha reenacting the scenes.
It gives a depth to the song that says "I'm not just letting go, I'm remembering who I used to be, I'm uplifting the parts of myself that give me life." This video is 100% my favorite of the videos for this album. It is so unself-conscious, so free, so wonderfully joyful. Watch it. Watch it again. It's so good.
Rainbow was written while she was in rehab for her eating disorder. She describes it as her promise to herself. I personally don't love it when people say "oh it will get better, just think about the future", but knowing that this is her reminder to herself, her mantra that she can return to changes it for me. And there are some amazingly honest lines in it:
"And I know that I'm still fucked up
But aren't we all, my love?
Darling, our scars make us who we are, are"
Even as the message of "you'll find a rainbow" is far from deep, there's a lot more going on beneath the surface here, and you can see it in the musicality that happens around the lines "so when the winds are howling strong…". It's vivid, orchestral, intense. The rainbow she's looking for isn't trite or small. It's a respite from the chaos you can hear in these lines. I love the imagery of color everywhere, of kaleidoscopes, of seeing everything the world has to offer again. There's more here than the silly phrases that many people use to describe gratitude or the good parts of life. Instead, there's a recognition that the world holds layers of wonder and beauty. It speaks to the ways that many people who feel broken or hurt often experience the world differently from other people, which brings me to Spaceship.
Spaceship reads very neurodivergent to me. It's a song about feeling as if you belong somewhere else, and waiting for your people to come and get you, bring you home. That experience is so common in the autistic community, as well as for others who deal with mental illness. While Rainbow is about finding joy in this world, Spaceship seems to be about finding a place that doesn't exist in this world: somewhere that is safe and where you feel normal and acceptable. When paired with a lot of Kesha's more youthful songs on this album, it speaks to the ways that we're expected to conform as adults, and how often that means losing an innocence that doesn't need to go.
Even as this album is more musically complex than her past two, it seems to have less "polish". It's less produced. It's more authentic. These songs get to the heart of that and are in many ways the heart of this album. They are not dealing with the past or the trauma, they're an adult reclaiming their identity and their self, regardless of what has happened or the difficulties of what has happened in their life. I find the vulnerable emotions and unrestrained joy really refreshing.

This is the third part of a series on Kesha's new album 'Rainbow'. Click for parts one and two.
Let's start by all taking a look at the essay that she wrote to go along with the song. It starts by quoting the opening lines of her video. One of the things that has stuck out to me about this album is the decidedly upbeat tone of it. What has surprised me about that is the fact that it doesn't annoy me. I think the reason for this is that while this album appears to be coming from a place where Kesha seems ok, it doesn't shy away from where she has been before. This essay speaks very frankly of depression, and the intro to the video gave me chills: "Please just let me die. Being alive hurts too much."
Praying is one of the few songs in which Kesha openly and vulnerably lays out how bad it was for her, and in the essay she is even more open about how in recent years she has struggled mightily with depression. She never mentions why; we all know. The information she provides in the essay goes a long way towards understanding the power of Praying: while the song is about moving on, the essay tells us what she's moving on from.
The depth of this song doesn't come from poetic lyrics, but from simplicity. Kesha doesn't tell us anything we don't already know (especially if you are one of the many people who has dealt with abuse or assault), but what's important is that she is making art out of it: she has created a beautiful song and she is sharing this experience in a wildly public way. She's taken a personal and vulnerable experience and become powerful through it.
Kesha's voice in this song is something else entirely and is what creates a truly transcendent experience here. She writes about learning how to trust her voice throughout her prior tour, and that in this album she really wants to show it off. In Praying she does amazing things with her voice. There are layers of meaning when you understand that she was not confident of her instrument, her very body, until just recently, and then you hear her carrying an amazing ballad with the lyrics "You said that I was done. But you were wrong and now the best is yet to come." She is not only asserting that, she's fucking proving it with the musical quality of this song.
My favorite thing about Praying is that when you first hear it, it sounds a bit like a song of forgiveness. I don't think this coulid be further from the truth. Even if Kesha says "I hope you find your peace", the very next line is "falling on your knees", implying that he needs to ask for forgiveness, he needs to change, he has not earned his peace or his forgiveness yet. She even says "Some things only God can forgive". No, this is not a song about Kesha being the bigger person because FUCK the idea that she even needs to be. This is a song of Kesha saying "sometimes I think about you but mostly just to remember that I'm so much better without you." She is speaking from the position of power, where for most of her relationship with Dr. Jerkwad she had little to no power.
Speaking of Dr. Jerkwad, my favorite thing about this song is that she doesn't even bother to hide the fact that she's talking about him. We all know it, we all know that she's giving him the middle finger, and we all know that this song is her getting the final word.
The second half of this song is a fucking ANTHEM for all the people who have been hurt and abused, who were told that they were worthless. I have been amazed time and again at how much applause the line "I'm proud of who I am" gets (yes I've watched multiple live performances of this song). I can only imagine singing that line when you're a woman of color or a trans woman or a disabled woman, feeling that those words get to be yours. Feeling that you get to tell the world, which has oppressed you for so long, "when I'm finished, they won't even know your name."
Whenever I hear Praying, I like to imagine an army of oppressed people singing that line to Neo Nazis and White Supremacists. I like to imagine singing it to my abusive ex. I like to imagine singing it to the asshole who raped my best friend. So rarely do women really get to be angry at their abusers, or throw threats of any kind at their abusers. Honestly it's really fucking refreshing. Even more refreshing is a song that can move from raw depression to this kind of empowerment. Praying is pretty fucking amazing.

This is the second of a series about Kesha's new album Rainbow. For the first post, click here.
Boots seems to be out of place in Rainbow. It doesn't address the past, pain, or moving forward. But listening to Boots feels delightfully powerful to me. After sexual assault, it's easy to feel like your sexuality, and especially your joy in your own body and sexuality has been stolen. I've known too many people who before sexual assault were joyfully, intensely sexual, and their sex life was a major part of their identity. Following assault, they have described the experience as "I don't know how to do it anymore." There's insecurity, fear, and a sense that the ability to enjoy their own body has been taken away.
Which is why I love Boots.
Kesha has always been an artist who is unabashedly hedonistic. Her earlier albums were about drinking, partying, and sexing. Typically these topics have been reserved for male artists, and one of the reasons I love Kesha is that she isn't afraid to say "yes I party and I have a good time, and you still need my consent." Boots feels like a return to some essential parts of Kesha. I'm glad that Rainbow is a more mature album overall, and I think it's got a lot more depth, but Kesha also strikes me as a simply joyful and fun loving human being (check out little Kesha's dance moves in the Learn to Let Go video for reference). One of the hardest things about depression and trauma is finding things that make you joyful, reclaiming things in an untainted way.
Boots to me is that anthem. It's the recognition that Kesha is still a sexual being and someone who is happily so. It feels so wonderfully joyful to have a song on this album about healing in which she reclaims her sexuality. When assault can rob someone of their connection to their body, can leave them with PTSD, can mean that sex more often than not ends in tears or flashbacks, a song that finds joy again is so powerful.
Even more importantly, when she made her accusations there were some folks who decided to make a big deal out of the fact that she sang about partying and sex. That doesn't fucking matter. She can love sex and still be assaulted. She does not have to be some kind of "gold star" victim to be a victim, and this song in context shows that she is not willing to give up her open, loud sexuality just to get people on her side.
In this respect, one line sticks out to me: "If you can't handle these claws you don't get this kitty." I've seen friends criticize this kind of sentiment as a way for excusing bad behavior, but in this particular album it doesn't read that way. Claws are associated with aggression, fighting back, defending yourself, and the kitty language has some obvious parallels to pussy and sex. To me this line reads as a message to people who want to ignore her boundaries; you do not get her body if you are not willing to respect her boundaries. I hear Kesha saying "I will fight back if you try to take what's not yours." In the middle of a song about reclaiming sexuality, that is a fucking anthem. It's a slap in the face to Dr. Buttface.
My final impression of Boots is the recognition that not all of healing is painful or difficult. Some days you feel joyful. You find people that make you feel better. It might be simply be a distraction, and that's ok. Feeling good sometimes is HUGE, and it doesn't invalidate that you might be depressed or that you're really struggling. It feels so good within this album to have a moment of unabashed sensuality. It's a good reminder to all of us who have been hurt that our bodies don't have to be dangerous or feel broken. It's possible to reclaim them. And that is fucking awesome.

Whiplash, Monuments Men, Great Art, and Happiness
A few nights ago I saw the movie Whiplash. As many people have said, the acting was superb and overall it was a quality made movie. But what pulled me in was not the plotline, but rather the assumptions of the characters and the varied interpretations of the people with whom I saw the movie regarding what makes a life worth living.
Andrew, the main character of Whiplash, wants to be the best. In one conversation with his family, when they ask him why he doesn't have any friends, he says that they would just get in the way. He wants to be remembered, like Charlie Parker was remembered. He wants to be great. His dad looks at him and says that Charlie Parker died at 35, that's not success.
But Andrew is unswayed, and continues to engage with his abusive band teacher in order to force himself to be better, to win, to prove that he is the great person he could be. He refuses to be broken by the abuse that the teacher doles out, even if that means trying to play while his hand is broken and he's bleeding.
The end of the movie is ambiguous. Andrew plays an amazing solo. He plays to his own tempo instead of listening to the conductor. But he does it all because he was abused. He becomes great through the horrific methods that left another student dead from suicide.
Underneath the success, the amazing performance, the smile that Andrew finally gets from Mr. Fletcher, there's the dark knowledge that if he keeps doing what he's doing, he as well will probably end up dead. If nothing else, he will be alone, anxious, depressed, and constantly feeling that he isn't living up to his own potential. He requires greatness of himself, because he sees how much the greatness of one person can affect others.
As Mr. Fletcher says, it's unacceptable to deprive the world of the next Charlie Parker.
But is it really? Is great art more important than actual human lives? Or even one single human life that gets extinguished after short years that are filled with unhappiness?
Let's talk about another movie for a moment. Monuments Men is for the most part a rompy kind of action movie, but somewhere in it is a question. The Monuments Men take resources that the army could have been using to save human lives and direct those resources towards saving art instead. Great, amazing art, but art nonetheless. Is it ethical for the army to do that?
I tend to think no. Art is beautiful and enriching, but there is always new art being made. People continue to create meaning, beauty, connection, and discussion through art in almost every circumstance they are placed in. Art is not a finite resource that we will run out of. There is no perfect painting or drum solo or play that is out there waiting to be created. We create what we need, what is meaningful to us, and we get the meaning that we need out of the art available to us.
I'm not one to value an empty or unhappy life simply for the sake of life, but I'm also not one to value art without any end. Art is valuable insofar as it enriches human lives, and when it takes away from the human ability to be fulfilled and content, or when it takes away resources from keeping people alive, art starts to lose value. I think that's true of any human endeavor. No goal is more important than its consequences.
So back to Andrew and Charlie Parker. Why does Andrew think that being great is a better goal than any immediate happiness? Clearly he wants to be remembered, but he also seems to think that he's doing something good and enriching for the world (just as Mr. Fletcher does) by creating something great.
I am so afraid of that rhetoric.
While talking with friends after the movie, I found that I was the only one who really resonated with that intense drive and need to always be better, the all-consuming, obsessive perfectionism. I can vouch that in my life it has been an extremely damaging influence. But those around me didn't feel like the movie was in danger of portraying that obsession in a positive light because they had never felt it, never been in a place where they thought that it was the best way to be.
Of course in the movie, Andrew is supposed to be sort of screwed up but only develop clear mental illness symptoms after Mr. Fletcher starts pushing him. But I don't think that obsession of this level is something that one can just learn. It's something that you have to spend your whole life fighting if it's in you to begin with. And while the movie clearly criticizes Fletcher's methods, it does not clearly criticize the art that comes out of it. It does seem to imply that the art that comes from the abusive, obsessive methods is better than what would have come about if Andrew had a sane teacher, made some friends, stayed with his girlfriend, and tried to temper his obsession with drums by being a healthy person mentally.
So the movie seems to imply that there is some sort of trade off here, that we could get some amazing art, something important or meaningful out of this kind of drive, and that while it's unhealthy, it is amazing.
And sure there are real life examples of these types. Sylvia Plath or Kurt Cobain, people who used their mental illness to fuel their art and whose dark art touched and was important to thousands upon thousands of people.
And there is never any guarantee that the depression makes your art better. More often than not it makes it worse because you can't think clearly, your mind is trailing in circles, you have no energy. More often than not you create work that is indulgent rather than transcendent. Of course some people who recover choose never to truly engage with the dark emotions again, and that hardly creates good art, but it is possible to continue to think deeply while in a healthy place. Some of the best art is art that comes from a place of self-respect rather than depression, fear, and uncertainty.
And there's more than one life that gets hurt when someone wallows in their mental illness. Everyone they interact with gets hurt. Despite the fact that they aren't trying, most people who are incredibly depressed, anxious, obsessive, and perfectionistic, are not very nice and are certainly not able to have healthy relationships because they themselves aren't healthy.
But of course the people that I was watching Whiplash with didn't see it as glorifying this kind of obsession. I'm not sure what it is that made me think it was condoning at least part of the obsession, but perhaps it's that I expect discussions of (what clearly seems to me to be) mental illness to not simply portray the behaviors because just showing the behaviors can feel like condoning when you're in a bad place. If I had watched this movie 5 years ago I would have seen it as validation of my choices. I would have watched it and seen a young person overcome everything to pursue perfection and then achieve perfection. I would have seen that it was possible.
And so I wouldn't have stopped.
I do wonder about our portrayals of obsession and whether we treat those behaviors in a way that says "this is not healthy" or whether we do some glossing over of the truth. How did the film actually treat questions of obsession? Did it say that there were benefits? Of course no one would see it as condoning the behavior of Andrew, but it did seem to make him into a hero, or possibly an anti-hero, something even more attractive to many (especially young) people.
I can't predict how other people might react to this film, and the people that I watched it with didn't seem to see it as any kind of validation, but it did focus on a young person overcoming obstacles to reach his goal, even if there were huge sacrifices along the way. Many people would see that as a positive. Continuing the stereotype of disturbed genius isn't really helpful to anyone, and while the movie criticized the choice to embrace that life, it didn't do anything to dismantle the stereotype that exists in the first place, leading to many people seeing artistry and greatness as something that necessarily comes with insanity.
This might lead many people to frame questions of dedication to art as whether they want to be happy or whether they want to be great, when in fact they can be both.
So let's hop back to Monuments Men. Is any piece of art worth ruining your life over? Probably not, especially when we can create art without the intense depression that the movie portrays. Of course every individual has the right to make the choice in their own life, but it's important to create messages that say it doesn't have to be that way. You can be amazing without being pushed in cruel and awful ways. Oftentimes greatness comes with support, love, and self-empathy. Especially in today's world where the cruel actions of famous people get broadcast to the world immediately over the internet, people are becoming less and less tolerant of brilliant assholes, and instead expect their geniuses to give back in some way.
There are many other facets to the reactions to this movie. I see more women feeling driven to prove that they deserve to be on this earth by being great, leading me to worry about the effects of portrayals of greatness on young women. How do we portray negative things in a responsible fashion is a concern that has never been properly answered (no Plato, we don't just not portray them). And how healthy can obsession ever be?
But I do think it's important to pull apart the association between greatness and depression. It's not necessary.

Intellovert and Other Variations
Personality typing and tests are super popular at the moment, particularly in regards to the introvert/extrovert question. How do we need to treat introverts and extroverts differently, how can introverts and extroverts get along even though they're completely different, and what do you need to do to care for your introvert/extrovert self? I'm all for opening up discussions of the different ways that people function and thrive, but I'm certainly not the first person to point out that the introvert/extrovert dichotomy misses a lot of nuance in how people interact socially.
For the last five years or so, I've firmly identified as an introvert. I have a lot of social anxiety and so spending time in large groups is draining for me. I need alone time and personal space, I love to read and write (alone), and I recharge by taking long naps and watching Netflix. But in my current relationship, I'm finding that I want to spend more time together than my partner does, as he needs more recharging time than I do. I'm finding that when I'm out of work, I want to be with people nearly every day. So am I an introvert or an extrovert?
In my last therapy appointment, my therapist mentioned that one of my needs as a human being is intellectual stimulation. I get bored easily, and when I don't have something to keep my mind occupied I start to lose it a little bit. Interestingly, I find that intellectual stimulation is an incredibly difficult need to fulfill without the help of other people, particularly in the form of conversation.
When I'm having engaging, deep conversations with other people, I feel my batteries recharge. When I have to make small talk, be around a large group of people, talk to someone I don't know very well, or interact with other people for simply practical needs (setting up an appointment for example), I feel drained. Where does this put me on the introvert/extrovert scale if there are some social activities that I find rejuvenating and some that I find horrible?
Well it probably just makes me human, since I'm fairly certain that this is true of everyone. But it might make more sense to talk about introversion and extroversion in relation to specific activities or types of interactions instead of overall personality traits. I'm extroverted when it comes to intellect, puzzles, very close friends and family, and public speaking (yeah, I'm a weirdo). I'm incredibly introverted when it comes to big groups, loud atmospheres, strangers, casual acquaintances, or overstimulating situations.
It's pretty easy to see some patterns here. There are some things which will make me feel rejuvenated whether or not they happen with other people: learning, validation, deep connection, feeling competent, or getting attention. There are other things that will wear me out whether or not they involve others: overwhelming environments, too many things to pay attention to at once, or repetition of basic information.
While introversion and extroversion are helpful concepts in some ways, it might be helpful to also start to think of how we recharge our emotional batteries with or without people. Almost everyone has some things that feel good and restful both with and without other people. These things might point towards what it is that we crave as individuals, what our emotional needs are. If we see what we want from our lives, it might be easier to set up social interactions to successfully cater to those needs.
Example: when I think of myself as an introvert, I try to schedule more downtime for myself. I inevitably end up bored and frustrated after a few hours of entertaining myself. If instead, I think about fulfilling my need for stimulation without an overwhelming number of things to pay attention to, I set up quiet coffee dates, game nights, movie nights, and other similar quiet activities that let me talk to other people and stay engaged.
Maybe I'm an intellovert: I get my rest and relaxation from exercising my brain. It's quite possible that there are lots of other ways that people find rejuvenation. Perhaps someone is oriented towards physical exertion, human touch, sensory cues, or something else altogether. I don't think it's useful to get rid of the words introvert and extrovert altogether, but it might be time to rethink the ways we use them, or introduce some new concepts to think about when we're explaining what fulfills our personalities.
