Gleanings
- I have never had something I dreamt of so fully come into reality as blogs.
- What a rutabaga does better than anything else
- I may not want to shovel, but I want to be a shoveller
- While I’d previously treated my favourite shows as a way to tune out, I began treating books as a way to step into a place far from where I was
- But the nude beach urged me to imagine my body as mere flesh on frame, neither symbol nor cyborg.
- Boys are told that they have a say in what a woman does with her body and girls are told that they don’t over their own.
- Generally, I’m attracted to -ish. The ambiguity, the grey area—fiction’s territory.
- Instead of letting an unjust culture flow through us, we can interrupt it — and we can make a new one.
- Lying in bed in our cozy room, all night I could hear the muffled sounds of the crashing waves.
- Just when you thought you’d hit the parenting jackpot, things get even better
- To end the day by staring at a technicolor Kestrel is nothing short of magic.
- Examined with an analytic eye and a diagnostic ear, sexist language reveals an underlying social disease — contempt for and fury at women.
- “putting pressure, even just a form of social peer pressure, on individuals to share their mental health problems as the HIGHEST GOOD is a bit of an issue for me.”
- So it happens again. Courtship, mating, birth, nurture. It’s all in the song
- It’s like I invented Bruce Springsteen.
Ohhh, these gleanings are glorious. Thank you!
Glad you liked them! It was not a bad week, was it…
You’re the best.
Thank you for giving me so much inspiration!
