Welcome to Litsy!

#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii

I'm a day late, but I wanted to join in. The last few months have been awful. However, the last few days, I've started feeling so much better. 🤞I'm out of the cycle of constant asthma flare-ups and chest infections.
My 5 joys are
1) 🌞📚☕️🐞🦋🐦‍⬛🦉
2) The dawn chorus
3) Gloria
4) It's Mother's Day tomorrow, thinking about my beautiful mum, gone for 22 years but never forgotten.
5) My aunt's gorgeous yellow magnolia

Happy #Chatterday 🌞

It is a bloomin' gorgeous spring day. 🌞☕️🌞 I'm sitting in the garden with a coffee. And I actually feel really well today for the first time in months.

How is everyone today?

Looking forward to the Dworkin reissues! (Great covers imo.) I‘ve read 2 of these 3, and had to read them as pdfs 🙃 so we‘re well overdue for the reprint.

First time in my classroom since May…

I read a few pages and I‘m already in love with it 🥰👏

August #BookSpinBingo! #Spin is also my choice for #Jamaica for #FoodandLit, so that's convenient.

#StorySettings #College it‘s been on my #TBRMountain a long time !📚📚📚

I should have read this book ages ago, but better late than never! I see the drawbacks of Friedan‘s approach, how she focuses on a very narrow subset of women for her work, but I do think it‘s full of important criticism. I saw myself in these pages, much more than I‘d like. Definitely worth a read.

(Inset from Rollo May, “Contributions of Existential Psychotherapy)

Friedan uses this in her argument against housewives “adjusting” to their limited existence, but it really struck me how this applies to LGBTQ+

I always wanted to read this but now I remember I mostly like fiction.
