Pic from ~ celestemkaufman.wordpress.com ~ a 1946 red bikini... the Kougaress didn't realize Bikinis as a fashion were this old... notice, too, that the woman is not rail-thin... how deliciously refreshing!

Friday into Saturday meowser powser, my precious and sweetly persnickety Kittens... still nice mild temps on the tame prairie... when the Kougaress ventured outside this afternoon, parts of the sky were blue, and there were clouds... however, one portion of the sky, almost directly overhead, was a nasty dirty gray... le sighs, my darlings, the chemtrails are ruining everything... oh, and there's been a noticeable increase in air traffic the past several days... some of it sounds military... not a promising sign for the future.

The Kougaress is wishing you a magickal and miraculous weekend. 'Cause she loves ya!

Authoress news and mews ~

The Kougar is about to finish Chapter Twenty-Six of her WIP ~ Her Midnight Stardust Cowboys. And! Her cover art is close to being presented for the first time ever.

...covered in flakes of diamond...

From the Kougar’s Writing Den ~ her latest WIP ~

Her Midnight Stardust Cowboys

The first six 'unedited' sentences from Chapter Twenty-Six:

"This is the one." Sherilyn hardly recognized her own breathless and giddy voice. "It looks like I'm covered in flakes of diamond...the parts of me that are covered."

"Just like stardust on that beautiful body of yours, sweetheart."

Zance's tone was like a wicked caress on her skin. Sherilyn looked over her shoulder and caught a glimpse of his gaze. Both lust and admiration shone in his eyes.

The Doomed Love Club...
by Serena Shay

Frieda looked to Jada. Jada looked to Bobbi Sue. Bobbi Sue kicked Angie and Angie swore…before they all looked at me and then over to Reggie. Now, what I was going to do about our fearless leader and her angry texting attack, I had no idea.

The six of us made up the first, and probably only, Talbot’s Peak "Doomed Love Club". We're really a support group for lonely unmated women, but we're still in our angry phase.

Neptune and Pisces Create Confusion

On February 17, don't be alarmed if your mind feels a little foggy and unclear. Common sense will prevail the next day as the Sun (in intelligent Aquarius) connects with serious Saturn, and everything will sort itself out with ease. Then, on the 18th, Pluto and Mercury form an alliance, encouraging deep discussions and getting to the heart of the matter.

On February 19, the Sun moves into dreamy Pisces, where it will run into the spacey energy of Neptune. Neptune and Pisces will help you develop your imagination and spirituality, but they also make it harder to deal with the cut-and-dry aspects of the real world. The key is to enjoy the beauty and poetry surrounding you without getting too carried away. A new Moon in Pisces on February 21 inspires us to break through the fog of illusion and embrace a unique opportunity to turn fantasies into reality.

Authors/Aspiring Authors/Readers

Sadly, protected free speech is now gone in our beloved country, my darlings, evidenced by google's massive rise in censorship... also, evidenced by the censorship Twitter and Microsoft, and any of the Biggies are now installing, and are now using to block THOSE with the voices THEY don't want *you* hearing anymore. Oh, there will be voices raised in a *pretense* that protected free speech is still alive. But, NO, it's gone.

Anything you *say, do, believe* will now be held against you by selective enforcement as has been going on, and rising steadily, for the past two decades... at least. Yep, this Big Cat knows several victims and has heard a ton of news stories, especially the past five years. Get ready. Innocence will not be tolerated.

BIG CAT SNARL AND SNARK ~

Jackboot censorship is here, on the internet in our beloved country... yeah, now it appears if you don't allow google ads on your youtube vid, and you get millions of views... well someone who copies it and puts it up with an ad will be set at the top when there's a search by google's manipulation practices.

BEWARE MARCH 8, my lovelies... your computer is in danger of being co-opted by the endlessly greedy corp-gov operatives [this Big Cat's opinion ONLY]... there's some sort of get rid of the stuxnet worm operation that may take place... also, at this point, the FEMA drill for the New Madrid fault is scheduled for that same day... coincidence, methinks NOT!... this Big Cat is considering not using her computer for that time period... not that it will matter, given their plan is to totally abduct the entire internet and change it in their image for their greedy controlling purposes... this is certainly NOT FOR YOUR BEST INTERESTS.

YEAH, NON-LETHAL WEAPONS, YOU BET...

Different Kind of Education from a Different Kind of Educator...

The Ultimate History Lesson is a 5 hour course, illustrating the cause and effect relationship of how Americans became incoherent, and thus how the American dream has was usurped by an international agenda.

When John Taylor Gatto resigned from his job, he did so on the Op-Ed page of the Wall Street Journal. At the time, he was NYC and New York State School Teacher of the Year.

The Ultimate History Lesson is presented as a five-hour interview session -memorializing Gatto's research, publications and life experiences- which forms an impeccable resource and reference library of the Underground History of American Education. Each hour focuses on examining the evolution of ideas which manifest today in the phenomenon of "public schooling". By dissecting the history and presenting you with the references, you're left at the end of each hour with a copious amount of information from which you can continue your own personal journey of discovery.

You can also listen to the Peace Revolution episodes (41-45) which break down the entire Gatto interview, hour by hour, with round-table commentary.

The main thesis of John's body of work can best be illustrated in my opinion by asking the question: "What do public schools actually teach children?", and answering it with the main themes contained in John's first book, printed in 1992, titled "Dumbing Us Down", he makes the following observations about how public schools are designed in form and function:

Public schooling teaches confusion by breaking coherence. It presents an ensemble of information that the child needs to memorize to stay in school.
2. Public Schooling teaches them to accept their class affiliation.
3. Public Schooling makes them indifferent and suppresses natural curiosity.
4. Public Schooling makes them emotionally dependent on approval from authority.
5. Public Schooling makes them intellectually dependent on experts and authorities to thinkon their behalf.
6. Public Schooling teaches them a kind of self-confidence that requires constant confirmation by experts and authorities (provisional self-esteem).
7. Public Schooling makes it clearto them that they are always supervised, under surveillance, and cannot hide; especially in today's society where everything online is tracked and private information is sold in a variety of ways to a variety of predators.

John's poetic prose and diligent documentation can be studied in his prodigious preponderance of publications; including:

Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling (1992)
The Exhausted School (1993)
A Different Kind of Teacher: Solving the Crisis of American Schooling (2000)
The Underground History of American Education (2001) - This is an essential book to read, as it stimulates the internal dialog, which draws questions as to "why are children being methodically undermined?"; and provides the answers with comprehensive references.
"Against School" published by Harper Magazine (2003)
Weapons of Mass Instruction: A Schoolteache Journey through the Dark World of Compulsory Schooling (2008)
