MornHeart
MornHeart By: Justin Stewart Cam knows how challenging it can be to survive in such a harsh world. Roads are often littered with bandits and criminals, yet the paths are much safer than what lurks in the forests. Mysterious beasts are frequent in the north, and most are greatly feared. Ordinary people stand no chance of facing the strange creatures of the world, which is why clans only recruit extraordinary people. Clans are home to the strongest and bravest fighters, and these clans are hired to protect the people who are unable to defend themselves. Clan members are willing to fight nearly anyone or anything, as long as the pay is right. Seventeen-year-old Cam is the newest member of MornHeart, the most famous clan in the entire north. Cam had only ever wanted to protect people and starting his new life within the clan was a perfect chance for him to turn his life around. Cam realizes that the members of MornHeart are more than just friends; they are family, and MornHeart is home to each of them. Cam strives to overcome his dark past, and with the help of his new friends, he just might be able to become the person he always wanted to be.
We're Not Ok

A Pedagogy of Kindness
Academia is not, by and large, a kind place. Individualism and competition are what count. But without kindness at its core, Catherine Denial suggests, higher education fails students and instructors—and its mission—in critical ways. Part manifesto, part teaching memoir, part how-to guide, A Pedagogy of Kindness urges higher education to get aggressive about instituting kindness, which Denial distinguishes from niceness. Having suffered beneath the weight of just “getting along,” instructors need to shift every part of what they do to prioritizing care and compassion—for students as well as for themselves. A Pedagogy of Kindness articulates a fresh vision for teaching, one that foc...
