God, his kid looked really disappointed.

She doesn't suffer from reproductive health issues, she doesn't. She's still the illegitimate child tho. Did you see how that maid looked at him?

Stop the patriarchal game. Stop the insanity. Get a hold of yourself.

2026 is a Year of Learning

I feel like the universe really wanted to show me just how much the Patriarchy trained a lot of people to really uphold it and not see what's going on with others this year.

This guy felt he had to give up on making more money in order to complete his project.

(And that could be its own privilege.)

Well, that's a shame.

The main character in the book I'm reading is starting to turn out to be a pretty messed up person. I liked how she had more empathy for her friend with health problems than her mother had though.

Today I feel good about pairing a book passage from The Wren The Wren with a Keren Ann song.

"We don't walk down the same street as the person walking beside us. All we can do is tell the other person what we see. We can point at things and try to name them. If we do this well, our friend can look at the world in a new way. We can meet.

When I began thinking about all this, I was interested in empathy, like it's the solution (and it is! it is!) to pretty much everything. I thought about gender and empathy, religion and empathy, the evolutionary benefits of empathy. I had a big beautiful cake in my head called 'Feeling the Pain of Others' and I sliced it this way and that because I thought that emotion is the bridge between people, sentiment crosses space, sympathy is a gas, exhaled by one, inhaled by the other. Empathy! It's just like melting.

We can merge, you know. We can connect. We can cry at the same movie. You and I."

One angel wing shell was referenced in the Nancy Drew book, and several different types of angel wing shells are defined in this post.

The spookiest cover of Nancy Drew: The Phantom of Venice is the one I had. So many different covers!

A Nancy Drew story I read a very long time ago, Brief History of French Feminism page in honor of college courses I took, and the 2026 election.

Because "In order to make an omelette, you have to break an egg" is going around in my head before breakfast for some reason.

I look forward to the sequel where the feminist son grows up and peppers his mother with all kinds of questions.

On the one hand, we can work it out. On the other hand, maybe the purpose of your life is to serve as a warning to others?

We had such vastly different expectations placed upon us as we were growing up.

But let's come together and watch this brilliant film which shaped part of my outlook on life as a child, for better or for worse.

I'll drink a toast to my luckiness later this afternoon.

How can I be so lucky as to have such good brothers who are kind enough to pray for me, after all the travails I've borne, in spite of their silliness and preference for women who who have a huger sunk cost investment in the patriarchy?
