Welcome to Litsy!

Gorgeous day to finish this book on intersectional feminism. As the US election approaches and I continue to think about the world I want to create, I find it more important to listen to BIPOC, Latinx, queer, disabled, and immigrant voices. This book includes essays by people who are at the intersection of many of these issues in the US and UK. #reread 5⭐️ @FeministBookClub

Day 2 with dad home has been tiring and rewarding! 💙💙

This book examines feminism through the lens of color, LGBTQ status, religion & other perspectives not often included in pop culture feminism. The authors ask how feminism can be more inclusive of disabled, fat, or immigrant women, etc.

I admit I hadn‘t given enough thought to many of the issues & specific situations the authors shared. For me, I don‘t want blinders on. I want to be aware of the needs of ppl different than me. Learned a lot 4.5⭐️

In other news, I ditched all the books I was partway through and started three new ones! The tagged is from @FeministBookClub plus I‘m rereading The Last Time I Lied (that‘s in my new StoryTimeSleeve), and I‘ll tag my Kindle read in the comments.

I‘m still working on getting my strength back. It‘s a slow process, as you chronically ill people know. 😐

Too cold, rainy, & windy to have lunch outside today. Excited to read the next essay in this collection. I really enjoyed Brit Bennett‘s novel The Mothers and found it well written, so I‘m expecting this to be equally as well written.

Having lunch with my book in a park is quickly becoming my favorite part of my day. I‘m loving the essays in this one too. Food for my belly alongside food for my mind.

Another day, another lunch at a lovely park. I‘m loving that my job (and the weather, finally) allows me to explore the different parks of Omaha. There‘s enough parks around town that I‘m usually able to find one to stop at in between clinics for lunch. 🤓☀️

Hopefully today‘s lunch isn‘t as chilly as it was earlier this week. At least the sun is shining and I remembered a jacket.

Well, I only made it 15 minutes because I couldn‘t handle the chilly breeze. Finishing up lunch in the car. And spilled cherry juice on my book. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Chillier than I was expecting, so we‘ll see how long I last. But for now, I‘m going to enjoy my lunch and my book!

A lovely afternoon for lunch outside with my book. Even if the breeze keeps trying to turn my pages for me.

Exploring intersectional feminism.

One of the best newer books on feminism I've read in the last year or two. Recommend 1000%. (Also, audio was great.) 🎧

#bookmail !! My #Goodreads #giveaway has arrived. And it came with a cute bookmark! 🤗 Looking forward to sinking my teeth into this soon.

Woohoo! I‘m a winner! 📚

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I absolutely adored this essay collection, it is a real breath of fresh intersectional feminist air 🙌🏻 I think it works so well as each essay looks at the author‘s first encounter with feminism not connecting with other parts of her or their identity, and I think is a collection that many will feel included by.
