Mehso-so

I almost want to give this a pick. I don‘t know why. It has some problematic parts, some of which actually damage women (can we please burn “herstory” to the ground already! Actual women in the field are harmed by this term, thank you). She seems to have no clue what most people mean when referring to the “c-word” (she uses it when referring to the word crone). 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics The use of a product with someone else‘s blood as an ingredient is not medically sound. Just. No. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 6d
GingerAntics It‘s mostly a discussion of how women have been marginalised and harmed throughout history through the use of the words “witch,” “slut,” and “feminist.” Definitely a conversation starter, but there are some issues here that just make me so uncomfortable. I probably would not read this again, even for a buddy read or group read. #KristenJSollee #WitchesSlutsFeminists #audiobook #ReadByTheAuthor (edited) 6d

When you hear “the c-word,” what do you think of!
#KristenJSollee #WitchesSlutsFeminists #audiobook #ReadByTheAuthor

GingerAntics For the record, crone is NOT the c-word! I can‘t imagine anyone would have guessed crone as the c-word. 🙄 1w
5feet.of.fury Depending on the context: Cancer? C u next Tuesday? 😂 no not crone 1w
Eggbeater I think of an innocent body part turned into an insult, mainly by misogynistic men. It's still a good word for the body part, and I'm taking it back! 1w
GingerAntics @Eggbeater yeah, she said c-word first, then she said crone. 🤯 I‘m sorry, I thought we were really digging into to sexism for a second there! 1w
GingerAntics @5feet.of.fury hadn‘t thought of cancer. That‘s a good one, like how some people will only whisper it. 1w

TalesandTexts How is this book? It‘s on my TBR!! 🤩 1w
GingerAntics @TalesandTexts well, her idea of the c-word is very different from mine. She talks about using an ointment that has someone else‘s menstrual blood as an ingredient. She used the ridiculous and harmful work “herstory.” It was also written in 2017 and BOY have things really taken a nose dive since then. 1w
GingerAntics @TalesandTexts other wise, it‘s actually an interesting discussion starter, but she‘s a little out there for me… maybe I‘m prudish (or she would call me that), but that‘s just me. 1w

TalesandTexts Omg!!! Whaaaattt?!!! How can authors be so irresponsible? Giving such information and not putting out any - “hey maybe don‘t try all these without further research…?” 7d
TalesandTexts I totally get you though. I am not too into the “out there” practices - especially in spell work and rituals. But I get that what isn‘t my cup of tea, maybe someone else‘s. Thanks for the input! 7d
GingerAntics @TalesandTexts yeah, the totally unnecessary description of her use of the ointment was just… wow… I think maybe she just needs a filter. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Like, some info is private and that‘s not prudish, babes. 6d

I absolutely adore Gibson‘s poetry. It‘s joyful and fierce and vulnerable and bursting with love.

Part memoir and nature writing this also includes some Celtic mythology and fairy folklore. It should come with a warning “might make you run away to Ireland, Scotland or Wales.”

#WeDoNotCare that we have 1000+ reading choices at home. It is important to support our local library and support authors who are fighting the good fight plus a couple Booker nominees.

Hope you had a good flight and are having the best time! @dabbe

Oof. This hurts my heart. What a light they left in the world. I first read the tagged book of poems because of Alyisha‘s #ALSpine list and it made me laugh, cry, and feel both seen and exposed. Read their books and watch their videos. It‘s good stuff and a bit heartbreaking that there won‘t be more.

Ruthiella ❤️❤️❤️ 3mo
JamieArc @yourfavouritemixtape I think you read this one from my ALSpine list, right? 3mo

monalyisha I don‘t even know what to say, honestly. I was hoping something profound would come to me but it hasn‘t. I‘m glad we all got to share their words around our community. If you get Andrea‘s newsletter, their wife is continuing it — and stoking the flickering fire of their legacy! 3mo
yourfavouritemixtape @jamiearc yes I did! What sad news… 😔 3mo

🌀 this book opened doors that I‘m still learning how to walk-through. & for that, I know I‘ll be returning to it‘s pages later on in life. I feel it reaching toward me, but there are pieces I know I‘ll understand more deeply with time and experience. #nonfiction #audiobook #feminism #naturalitsy #reading #bibliophile #uncommon

📚Reading Reflections At78%📚
As powerful as Blackie's words are- I have a problem with such stark contrast between lyrical storytelling & the raw, messy edges of everyday life...
However, I admire that she shares voices of other women, offering #ecofeminism & real-life examples of how we can shape our own journey & bring that wisdom back into your immediate world.
