Welcome to Litsy!

#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii

I'm a day late, but I wanted to join in. The last few months have been awful. However, the last few days, I've started feeling so much better. 🤞I'm out of the cycle of constant asthma flare-ups and chest infections.
My 5 joys are
1) 🌞📚☕️🐞🦋🐦‍⬛🦉
2) The dawn chorus
3) Gloria
4) It's Mother's Day tomorrow, thinking about my beautiful mum, gone for 22 years but never forgotten.
5) My aunt's gorgeous yellow magnolia

Happy #Chatterday 🌞

It is a bloomin' gorgeous spring day. 🌞☕️🌞 I'm sitting in the garden with a coffee. And I actually feel really well today for the first time in months.

How is everyone today?

These essays, originally published in 1983 are still relevant and insightful. favorites include how periods would be seen if men menstruated and not women and would be seen as a sign of strength and virility. Also loved the classic essay about her time undercover as a playboy bunny. Found the one about women becoming more radical as they age to be thought-provoking as well. #40thbdaychallenge #1983

Art + Feminism... Heck ya! I immediately saw this Twitter thread and thought of my Litten friend @TheBookHippie.

If this is your kind of humor too, here's a link to it: https://twitter.com/nicsigni/status/1125786676016685056?s=19

Give me all the Gloria Steinem forever and ever! I wish she was my next door neighbour so I could chat with her all the time about the important topics she discusses. Given that is highly unlikely, I'm grateful I can read all of her books instead.

Work in progress, kinda looks like her though....

#ReadingResolutions Day 12: Two of my favourite #Activists are Alice Walker and Gloria Steinem. Got these two gorgeous titles from my international school librarian friend who is downsizing her book collection as their family moves to Beijing.

I will cherish this book forever

Can't wait to sit for two hours and read this! I'm so glad I picked it up!

Some of my favorite books by & about women. #InternationalWomensDay #SheInspiresMe

From The New Yorker

Thank goodness for slow days at work so I can absorb great audiobooks like this. I definitely feel inspired to do an outrageous feminist act every day! This is a lot of Gloria's earlier essays so it's interesting to see what the feminist movement was about then, how it's changed, and how far we still have to go.
