“It‘s most direct successor in modern French literature may be Baudelaire‘s post-romantic” Fleurs du mal”. It was only a few years after “The Regrets” that the wars of religion between varying factions of Protestants and Catholics (1562-98) profoundly changed French culture and set the stage for the more highly structured and often less personal literature of the 17th century”.

I‘m slowing down on the book shopping. I swear. Slowing down. Not stopping. 😬

Bookwomble I'm feeling this. I've had two weeks annual leave and have WAY overspent on books while I've been off. I'm going to try for a "dry" April! 2w

The positives: Ta da! The nutritional breakdown. The recipes look pretty easy. Yay! The author is a nutritionist. Options for meat substitutes. It has good photos. I could have definitely used this a couple years ago /weight management.

The negatives: Not everything looks appetizing. Some look pretty basic. If you can get a look at the recipes before you buy that would be the best.

Deep Cuts | Holly Brickley

“I loved these Craftsman homes of Berkeley, especially the undisturbed, unkempt ones. They were soulful and comfortable and had all the amenities that actually make people happy, like porches and window seats, and none of the things we believed to make us happy, like open-floor plans and living rooms optimized for super bowl viewing. They were built for reading and close conversation. Berkeley felt like a glitch in the modern machine, back then,

RowReads1 an alternative universe for the chosen few. Maybe this is how everyone feels about their college towns”. 2w
Leftcoastzen Berkeley really is like that , though I didn‘t go to college there . I have bookshelves & things to hang on walls , fond of cottages with little nooks & built ins . Open floor plan , not a fan . 2w

This covers all the basics. I got a helix and a tragus piercing last week. They can take 6 months to a year to completely heal. They both hurt, especially the tragus. I wasn‘t sure what to expect. I watched a number of YouTube videos with people saying they didn‘t hurt at all. Balderdash! I‘m now planning at least a few more.  

wanderinglynn I got a daith. The pain wasn‘t too bad but it did take a solid 6 mos to heal. My helix seemed to heal a lot faster and it didn‘t hurt as much. 3w
JacqMac I really want a double helix, but I keep reading that it hurts. Lol 3w
RowReads1 @wanderinglynn The daith is one I‘m considering. and a conch. 3w
RowReads1 @JacqMac I say go for it! It‘s not that bad. 3w
wanderinglynn @JacqMac in my experience, it really didn‘t hurt that much. The faith hurt more. It‘s just the healing time that sucks. Also, I‘m a side sleeper, so I would lay on mine every once in a while and that wasn‘t comfortable. 3w

“Actually,” I said, unable to stop myself, “ I would call this a perfect track, a perfect recording. Not a perfect song.” I could tell he already halfway understood but I explained anyway, with a level of detail befitting an idea of far greater complexity: “ A perfect song has stronger bones. Lyrics, chords, melody. It can be played differently, produced differently, and it will almost always be great. Take “Both Sides Now,” if you‘ll excuse me

RowReads1 being that girl in a bar talking about Joni Mitchell-any singer who doesn‘t completely suck can cover that song and you‘ll be drowning in goosebumps, right? It was a leap of faith that he‘d even know the song, but he gave a swift nod. “Totally.” 4w

I‘m getting into the short introduction.

I‘ve been thinking of getting an autism assessment for awhile now. I talked about it with my therapist. I don‘t fit the autism definition for males. The thing is whenever I read these articles about autism in women it‘s uncanny. I was diagnosed with depression at a pretty young age. I get pretty into the subjects I‘m fascinated with. My mom, my aunt and I all read The Highly Sensitive Person and that fits us all really well. Article in comments.

ncsufoxes Divergent Minds is focused neurodivergent women. The Electricity of Every Living Thing by Katherine May talks about her experience of realizing she was Autistic and getting a diagnosis. The signs of Autism between boys/girls, men/women can be different, Autism is a wide spectrum. There are more therapists that are focusing diagnosing adults since so many people were missed when they were young. 1mo
quietlycuriouskate "The Electricity Of Every Living Thing" was a life-changer for me. That phrase gets over-used, of course, but it truly did shift how I view myself (for the better or, rather, kinder). 1mo

#FirstLineFridays @ShyBookOwl

“When Vivian broke up with me I cried a bit. A few crap tears. It felt obligatory, it was the end of my first major adult relationship. I squeezed the tears out, in a kind of “woe as me” way. She didn‘t cry. She‘s quite unsentimental. She was the unattainable beauty I attained. But I couldn‘t hold on to her”.

The author should‘ve used Pollyanna as an example. I remember having a spirted conversation with my stepdad a long long time ago about how it was so weird Pollyanna was such “a Pollyanna” because she was an orphan. Pollyanna is based on a book from 1913 and was a film with Hailey Mills. Annie is based on a musical and a comic strip from 1924.
