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. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 3d
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) 3d

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. 🙄 5d
5feet.of.fury Depending on the context: Cancer? C u next Tuesday? 😂 no not crone 5d
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! 5d
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! 5d
GingerAntics @5feet.of.fury hadn‘t thought of cancer. That‘s a good one, like how some people will only whisper it. 5d

TalesandTexts How is this book? It‘s on my TBR!! 🤩 4d
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. 4d
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. 4d

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…?” 3d
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! 3d
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. 3d

Took a recent trip to Lancaster, PA for a quiet anniversary weekend that included a visit to Pocket Books Shop and Dog Star Books. Tea, McCullers, and Pavic will all be first-time reads for me. I never heard of Dictionary of the Khazars before, but apparently, it was a bestseller in 1983. Weirdly, there is a 'male' and 'female' version that are the same except for 17 lines? Could be a weird gag, but sounded interesting otherwise.

Karisa Happy Anniversary! 📚💗 1w

sarahbarnes I hope you like the Tokarczuk! I‘ve had a copy of Heart for ages and have never read it. 1w
sarahbarnes I see your copy of Black Cathedral there - have you read it? I‘ve been curious about it. 1w
Billypar @BarbaraBB Thank you! And mine is also a boy, lol. Part of me wants to look up what the line difference is, but not sure if it's a spoiler or just won't make sense out of context. 1w
Billypar @sarahbarnes I loved Drive Your Plow but totally missed Empusium's translation coming out - I'm looking forward to it! I haven't read Black Cathedral yet - that shelf in the background is my TBR shelf. It was one I hadn't heard of before I found it in the bookstore, but seems to be squarely in my wheelhouse. 1w
MemoirsForMe Happy Anniversary! 🥂 5d
