Something I have been thinking about today is when I asked one of the fifth grade classes I taught about Juneteenth- one student shared the way her family celebrates and how it is an important holiday for them, more significant than July 4. (1/2)
honestly the Lidl line of Greek frozen food and shelf stable stuff is so good (as someone who has not been to Greece in 4 years and does not have easy access to the Greek food of my dreams). Bougatsa, leek and cheese pies, those tin cans of gigantes…
It’s starting to sink in that I will be leaving Atlanta in a few weeks. One thing I’ll miss? Seeing the guy who dances on the corner by a gas station in full costume a few times a week, but always on Saturday. I see him when I am driving to yoga and he always makes me smile.
I finished After Sappho today and am dying to discuss!!! It accomplished what so far nothing else has- it made me want to read some modernist literature. Quote that follows I think sums up the book, if you’re thinking about adding it to your TBR:
Proud to work at and be an alum of an inclusive women’s college- the way I think about it, if you have ever been discriminated against because of your gender identity, a women’s college should be a space for you.
As gender-nonconforming people have become increasingly more visible both in society and on campus, these institutions have been forced to grapple with what it means to be a women’s college — and who is welcome there. https://t.co/tQabdvOaUk
