#HauntsAndHexes: A positively #chilling adaptation of Atwood‘s classic dystopian novel. I found the graphic novel to be eerie, striking, and effective. It has allowed me to experience the story again in a more visually affecting way, amplifying my horror and indignation. See here on how I featured the original Atwood novel and this adaptation here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-kt1

This story is so INTENSE!

Starting a new festive Lego set and I am loving this dual time line story

This escalated promotion of racist propaganda was accompanied by a similarly acclerated promotion of ideas implying female inferiority. If people of color-at home and abroad-were portrayed as incompetent barbarians, women-white women, that is—were more rigorously depicted as mother-figures, whose fundamental raison d'être was the nurturing of the male of the species.

I can‘t believe so many of the terms used for female anatomy within science and medicine are related to shame and literally translate as such. I loved her addressing the fact that as recently as the 1960s, when researchers (some of them women) recorded the first ever time a human had seen the moment of conception or the first split after conception, not one of them described it as witnessing the creation of life.

TMI ALERT (keep scrolling if you don‘t want to know)

I got my first period in January. I skipped in February. In March, I was hoping for early menopause. I. Was. Over. It. I also didn‘t tell a soul until April when someone finally noticed. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Who are these lunatics wanting MORE of this madness? WTF is wrong with these people?!

In hind sight, I was struggling with my gender identity already. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Catholic school did NOT warn me about that

Started this and I‘m loving the art talk in connection to reading Mona‘s Eyes

#WeeklyForecast 43/25

I am reading off my shelves, finishing reading challenges and eagerly waiting for the ToB longlist to be announced.
For now I am almost finished reading Your Steps on the Stairs, a very weird read. Next will be The Children of Red Peak, that I meant to read last week but forgot somehow. The Barbizon I hope to start too.

Thank god for this. I was starting to get gender normative vibes.

I forget which book enticed me to purchase this, but why not?
