Anne the Vegan

I’m a PT. The DOE just deemed my profession as non-professional, along with OT, SLP, NP, and PAs, all of which require post-graduate degrees and passing board exams. What a slap in the face to public servants. This will devastate our healthcare system.

How to Read a Book by Monica Wood

This one was for book club. And unexpectedly delightful story about how three lives connect.

Home Coming by Thelma Bryant, PhD

Just finished this self help book. Easy, good read, with so many super relatable bits of knowledge and advice.

Found out that our insurance premiums (employee sponsored) will go up to $2700/month before adding dental and vision. This is with a $12,500 deductible before anything is covered. This is ridiculous!

HUMAN RIGHTS SHOULD NEVER BE POLITICIZED.

Even if you’ve never heard of James Dobson, if you were raised in any type of evangelical church in the 80s to 90s, you were affected by his influence. May he have the afterlife he deserves. #jamesdobson

The Real Anthony Fauci by RFK Jr.

Psychology, theology, and spirituality in Christian counseling.

Prayer starters for busy moms. How to pray all day and still put the laundry away.

When helping hurts. How to alleviate poverty without hurting the poor… and yourself. Has a real meritocracy feel to it that gave me the ick just reading the sleeve.

Is There Such a Thing as a Perfect Victim? Not in the eyes of society

New article. Why does the patriarchy paint victims as imperfect and to blame for their own traumas? This is a free link:

Humbling moments this week: being asked when my baby is due (I’m 50. Definitely not PG) and being led to the shampoo for dyed hair at Ulta (I’m naturally blonde). Sigh.

Summer Running A poem

A photo of the book On Tyranny

“Each story on televised news is ‘breaking’ until it is displaced by the next one. So we are hit by wave upon wave but never see the ocean.” - Timothy Snyder (On Tyranny)

I dreamt last night that I had a 20 month old daughter. She turned to me with a mischievous grin and said, “RETRIBUTION.” And I was so proud. IRL, I have two grown daughters who are equally fierce in their own ways.

Photo shows toasted, sliced vegan naan with homemade split pea hummus.

I made a split pea hummus inspired by a meal I tried on Saturday! It’s so good! I’ll post a recipe when I perfect it.

Happy Caturday! My baby was on a shelter’s kill list because he was “spicy.” Now he’s the snuggliest cat who has ever chosen me.

A photo of the book James by Percival Everett

Struck up a conversation with a fellow book lover who convinced me that this is a must-read. Enjoying it so far! A reimagining of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from Jim’s perspective.

This book was phenomenal! Finished in two days!

So we’re playing the old “let’s silence the victims and protect the guilty” game. Again. Fuck the patriarchy. #epstein

The Matriarchy is Drowning Women in the U.S. are losing the fight for our rights.

When I took out student loans for grad school, no one explained the difference between a compound interest vs. a simple interest loan. My car loan? Simple. Student loans? Compounding. The hole keeps growing, making it almost impossible to pay off.

I definitely hear you. But it also won “top ten books” of the 21st century by NYT and a Pulitzer!
