I'm reading a book and the author asks: "Who gets to be the backlash?" and I think that this is a profound question. She uses it in speaking about Nat Turner, David Walker, etc... and asks why their actions don't get to be defined as 'backlash' to enslavement.

Once I hired a van in my obviously feminine name to move some furniture, and the guy dropping it off asked if it was on my husband’s licence. My response was icy and his backpedal noticeable 😂

I read the Mirror books when I was waaay too young and inexperienced to process them properly. The formative 90s teen experience I suppose.

I’m coming up to a year on my CPAP, after a crisis last May when I woke up feeling like my knees were on backwards then the following day fell asleep at the wheel on the motorway (thankfully only for a second, no harm done). They found that I was stopping breathing 50 times an hour in my sleep 😬

Sometimes people ask me about the super rich in Renaissance Florence, whether the art/culture/science boom was an example of trickle-down working. (A) Florence had a wealth tax, (B) its richest man Palla Strozzi had the equivalent of only $250 million. Want more Leonardos? Tax the Rich. 🎨🧑‍🎨🖌🎭🔭🖼📚📐🏛🎻💰

The fact that she is dying makes me want to kick powerful things. I never spoke to her directly but I have followed her almost as long as I’ve been on the site-formerly-known-as, and I suspect kicking powerful things would be a Linda-approved outcome.

I don’t want sequels, especially for beloved movies of my youth which ended bittersweet. I want Hollywood to make movies of newer books instead of crouching like a jackal on the bones of nostalgia.

Reminder that if anyone on Facebook contacts you claiming to be me, it isn’t. Also if anyone, no matter how famous, tries to hard sell you on a writing coach or book trailer or whatever this version is pitching, be very very suspicious!

That’s not how conversations work, and adding “blessed be” to the end of all of your posts does not absolve you of the need to engage with the impact you have on others. Not that you seem to care 🤷‍♀️
