Gleanings
- Women have a long history of swimming: it’s been socially acceptable for us to be athletes in the pool and open water for much longer than in other sports.
- To me, India’s cells are like starlight —a hint of the brightness that was my child.
- Kiwi-strawberry walked so flavors like green tea and hibiscus could run.
- It’s time to bust these common menstrual myths.
- It’s pretty fierce this love in our house sometimes…
- Podcasters are regularly criticized for what they have to say, but women are also being attacked for how they say it.
- Out went the elaborate meals, and in came the pizza, frozen enchiladas, and instant ramen.
- I’ve read some weird stuff since getting into literature in translation last year.
- I think that when we consider things quite opposite to what is expected, we stay freer and more open to breaking rules. Which is something else we should consider.
- The clutter might not bring me joy, but I’m not an overly joyful person, so that’s okay.
- Good old Jake Addison.
- She says it isn’t magic but I’m not sure any of us believe her.

I still hope you bought the squirrels.
I am mostly glad that I didn’t.
Mostly. 🙂 I love them but ultimately think I would have mixed feelings about them whether I bought them or not. It would be hard to walk away without them…but if I did buy them, after an initial fireworks display of joy, I might soon wonder what I’d been thinking.
