Want to read: Men Explain Things to Me by Rebecca Solnit 📚
📚💬 “My Ph.D. cannot trump my gender.” Kelly J. Baker, SEXISM ED, “Academic Men Explain Things to Me,” p. 52.
🎙️ Listened to Gates McFadden Investigates 101: Jonathan Frakes.
Love it. McFadden is a great host & it feels like being with friends.
“Life just ran more smoothly when she got her way.” Leigh Bardugo, KING OF SCARS. Oh, Zoya, I love you so. 📚
I finished reading SIX OF CROWS almost 4 months ago. It’s time for me to get back to the Grishaverse with KING OF SCARS. 📚
Finished reading: Fan Fiction by Brent Spiner 📚
Went to Internet Archive to find my blog post from 20 years ago. More interesting than anything I had to say was this comment from my grandmother, who died this January:
Dearest Kimber…yes, you will remember today & what you did & were doing…and possibly feel a sadness for the terror and loss and a little bit of maturing….I know, for I can vividly recall the memories of the Pearl Harbor Attack when I was in 7th grade and the impact & saddness that followed those war years…but happiness as well as tears come along and in a wink, blink & nod the years go on, but memories linger….I love you very much my precious, gorgeous granddaughte.
Wearing my 90s pop culture goth uniform today: Buffy the Vampire Slayer tee, Nightmare Before Christmas leggings.
I’ve been thinking a lot about how I want to spend my time and one of the things I want to do is make higher ed better for caregivers. It only just occurred to me that both my parents were student-caregivers & staff-caregivers when I was young. ❤️
