Just got back from a local street pride rally- mostly positive honks & waves from cars- a few denigrating shouts. Stopped in to pick up a hold at the library & they had a bug display of books, pins, flags for Pride month. #pride #indivisible
pickThis is not a pleasant story; rising star criminal defence barrister Tessa is assaulted and has to decide whether to take her turn on the other side of the bar table, as victim and witness. I was completely hooked; if I have any criticism it‘s that the odd element felt overdone or heavy handed; a little formulaic in novel format perhaps.

I‘m so excited to start this study in June. It‘s my #2025nfbookchallenge. I always start the year strong with whatever challenge I set for myself.

Not to mention the media also plays a part in how people that commit violent acts are “good or misunderstood” aka White men/boy who was
pickOne of those highly important books, especially at this moment. This info is more relevant now than when it was written just a few years ago. Reason is the current president is a convicted felon for assault & this shows the men in the manosphere that they can get away with anything & not be held accountable. I am horrified for my daughter to know that there are men (boys being mainstreamed into this narrative) that women are evil. That women are
Perfect example of sexism. My daughter had 2 fliers sent home for basketball camps at the high school down the road. Both camps are sponsored by the same booster club. The boys get a nice card & the girls get a photocopy. Also the boys camp only has a $5 late fee for registering after a certain date & the girls it‘s a $20 fee. I told my husband that this shows girls don‘t matter as much as boys (I know that most parents don‘t think this but it
