Welcome to Litsy!

This was a soft pick for me. As a fellow millennial, she unlocked memories of stuff I haven‘t thought about in a long time. Some of her musings were interesting (like the bit about the pressure of having a job that‘s your passion - I‘m still feeling this today). But she definitely lost some points with me as she made an NSYNC reference citing lyrics as sung by Justin rather than JC. And getting Justin‘s age completely wrong. ⬇️

What do (or should) we do with good art made by bad people?

I read this book in hopes of getting something close-ish to an answer to that question. I was left wanting, but don‘t really hold that against the author.

I do, however, hold how obnoxious I found the writing against her.

Hence the so-so rating.

Friday was a rest and relaxation day for me before my ballet exam Sunday just gone. I got a head spa and massage then did a spot of op shopping. This haul was from The Samaritans in Hamilton for the grand total of $26. For those following along it‘s my 5th exam as an adult and I fell apart. I had been sick but it wasn‘t that bad and I wasn‘t super nervous but I made a mistake in the very first exercise and it took me a while to get over it.

My constant companion for #HyggeHour readathon. Although I've never had his furry beans in my face before. 🐾
I had a very relaxing hour, listening to the tagged and sipping a delicious winter spiced tea.

Having been warned about the anti trans sentiments in this book I‘m choosing to send it back without reading.

I have been wanting to read this for a long time….going to try a chapter every so often and get it down. I‘m close to my crone era.

It turns out four years is long enough to burn out, get pushed into reinvention, learn you‘re autistic, build a new life (with the same wife and a few more cats), and still miss the gentle chaos of Litsy. I was #BookishMarginalia back then; I still am, just with better self-knowledge and a lot more joy. If we knew each other before, hi again. If not, I‘m glad we‘re starting fresh. I‘m now a self-employed writer & coach who still 🫶🏼 books!

It was interesting to read. And sad. Because problems women have is almost the same as hundred years ago.

This book really spells out just how much the cards are stacked against all women. Enraging, important, upsetting, tear-inducing.

I really need someone to teach me how to cook, how to like cooking, and how to store food. I‘m not thriving because health becomes overwhelming and if I could just get this accomplished I feel like i could reduce the amount of drowning I am doing.
