Pirates of Venus is a fantasy book by American author Edgar Rice Burroughs, first published in 1932. It is the first book in the Venus series (also called the Amtor series), that consists of five novels in total. The book was initially serialised in the pulp magazine Argosy, and the events in it occur on the plant Venus (known to it's inhabitants as Amtor). A beautiful but deadly world, Amtor is home to immortal beings who live in enormous trees because ferocious beasts stalk the wilderness below. The hero of the book, Carson Napier, crash lands on the planet after his voyage to Mars goes off course. During his time on the strange planet Carson learns the language, history, and customs of Amtor, falls in love with a beautiful woman, and gets into all kinds of adventures with the creatures on his temporary home, including the voo klangan (bird-men), and giant spiders.
The narrator of the novel is Greta, a young human female employed at a Recuperation Station where soldiers recover from battles. Greta is an Entertainer: part prostitute, part nurse, part psychotherapist. However, other characters narrate parts of the story in lengthy monologues about their experiences and opinions as they visit the spider-staffed facility.

Allie, I cried. This is one of the most truthful pieces I've ever read about depression and how other people just DON'T UNDERSTAND. Even as someone who's suffered/ing through depression, you can't understand what someone else with depression feels like, because everyone's different. But I can understand the frustration of people not understanding. The absolute lack of feeling. The return of feeling - but just negative ones. Hatred. The frame of sitting in a coffee shop, glaring at two girls laughing - fuck, that is me.Thank you for writing this. Thank you for being brave.
One day, one emotion (or partial?), one thing at a time. Glad the corn gave you something. Who cares why/how? Thank you for the drawings and words - it means a lot (not alot) to many people and I hope the wasteland has an ending for you. One full of non spidery hair (ack) and ice cream ...or something. xo
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. In all of my 15 years of depression including severe suicidal thoughts at times this is 10 times better than I could have explained. I also love the, "trying but failing to be helpful" girl. I think everyone who has tried to say helpful things looks like that girl.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is so similar to how my depression went. People just don't understand. your pictures are so expressive of how it feels. I was that sweatshirt girl sliding off the couch. My moment of realization was when I was sitting in a Wendy's drive through and thought "wonder what would happen if i drove into that brick wall." followed closely by "wow, i think i need some help." Be aware that laughing is sometimes followed by speeding in a car. LOL I got 2 tickets in one week, the only ones I have ever had, after my meds started to make me feel better. this must have been a rough post to write. But thank you so much for doing it, you will make a huge difference for so many people out there.

I'm back and have read through your emails and accept that despite missing a leg, that drawing of a spider may indeed be the one I sent you. I realise, with hindsight, that it is possible you rejected the drawing of a spider due to this obvious limb ommission but did not point it out in an effort to avoid hurting my feelings.

Accessible summary: Not many researchers have written about therapy for spider fear in people with learning disabilities. In this study, a woman with learning disabilities completed a questionnaire about the therapy she was having for her fear of spiders. The results from the questionnaire suggested that the therapy did help the woman's spider fear. The results should make professionals working with people with learning disabilities think creatively about how therapy for specific fears is done and also the best way to check whether the therapy is helping. Summary: The evidence-base for exposure therapy in people with learning disabilities experiencing specific phobias is sparse. This case study describes the assessment, formulation and treatment of spider phobia in a woman with learning disabilities using an exposure-based intervention augmented with mindfulness practice and bereavement work. To evaluate the intervention, a self-report measure of spider phobia was employed and completed during a baseline (A) and intervention (B) phase. Results demonstrate a reduction in self-reported fear after 11 sessions. This case study illustrates how in some cases modified self-report measures can be used to evaluate psychological treatments in people with learning disabilities and also highlights the importance of being formulation-led and creative when designing exposure-based interventions for specific phobias.

Maori-Polynesian mythology, like that of the Old World, has numerous stories of unions between gods and human beings. In some legends it is a god who descends to this earth, attracted by a lovely woman; in others the heavenly being who weds a mortal is a goddess, who nightly visits her terrestrial lover. There is much beauty in some of these stories of the loves of atua and mortals. One is the Arawa legend of Puhaorangi (Gentle Breath of Heaven) and Kura-i-monoa (Precious Treasure). Puhaorangi was a celestial being who beheld the beautiful Kura from his eyrie in the clouds. He descended to her in the guise of a rupé, a dove or pigeon, just as Jupiter assumed the form of a swan in order to approach the fair Leda in the stream. The rupé was fondled by the lovely girl, who became a mother. Her son was given the name of Oho-mai-rangi (Surprise from the Sky, or Heavenly Awakening), and from him many Maori trace their descent. Many a genealogy begins with the names of Puhaorangi and his earthly wife and the semi-divine child, Oho-mai-rangi. 2ff7e9595c
