book cover of Bitch: on the femal of thes pecies by Lucy Cooke

"Bitch: On the Female of the Species" -Lucy Cooke #67 #Booksky ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

One of the most interesting books on biology I've read. Focuses on the sexual diversity among species and how Darwin's framing of "submissive females" & sexual expression has held back progress in this field.

"How Great Ideas Happen Audiobook edition" -George Newman #66 #Booksky ⭐⭐/5

My main takeaway was to take more time exploring ideas & sorting through them before settling on a path. Else, I feel like I've read most of this in other places.

book cover of "Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage" -Belle Burden

"Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage" -Belle Burden #65 #Booksky ⭐⭐⭐/5

Sad, insightful & tense memoir of the author's divorce. At the same time, the wealth was its own character. Sorry she went thru this, but I can't extend much sympathy for those who weathered COVID at Martha's Vineyard w/a trust fund

Ya know what, I would give The Wall a four out of five stars.

"The Wall" -Marlen Haushofer #64 #Booksky ⭐⭐⭐/5

Suddenly isolated from the rest of the world w/only her wits, skills & a few animals. Exploration of how she makes life work; and how her previous life held her back from coming into her own. Sad but good survival tale. The dog doesn't make it, fyi.

cover of "Women Who Run with the Wolves" -Clarissa Pinkola Estés

"Women Who Run with the Wolves" -Clarissa Pinkola Estés #63 #Booksky ⭐⭐⭐/5

An abbreviated overview of female archetypes and the importance of connecting with what makes you happy and whole. I think there are better academic books on the topic, but this had an emotional hook.

cover of "Good for a Girl: A Woman Running in a Man's World" -Lauren Fleshman

"Good for a Girl: A Woman Running in a Man's World" -Lauren Fleshman #62 #Booksky ⭐⭐⭐/5

Insightful memoir. Discusses how trying to train female athletes to the same schedule as men leads to long term physical & mental harms for women. Important read for those considering a pro athletic career.

It's all in how you serve it up...a silent killer

This is disgraceful behavior, and I'm fucking pissed. What's next? They going to invite this asshat to lift the Stanley Cup while wearing a Gaudreau jersey? This incident is a shitstain on the sport.

Bananas have never tried to kill me. Pineapple, on the other hand...

Bunch of fuckers.

I am disgusted with the whole fucking lot. Fuckers.

Lars sticker

I might be okay...

Seriously, this is so out of bounds

Squeaky blindness

You, an individual, cannot "fix" the whole world. You can act at the scale of your life. You should act at the scale of your life.

They're all so lean, too! Must be running on pure spite at that point.

Sprinting! Up a mountain! On skis! It's insane.

Anyone wanna meet up and just scream? We can get food after.

Happy that he and Tolvy will come back with 🥉

Kakko!

Go Finland! 🇫🇮 FINvsSVK

Oh, same! They get to play for bronze now?

Whaaaaaa, sads 🦑

I can't watch the game til later, but I'm happy that Finland is up. (I'm not about the countries so much as the team with the most players I regularly watch. Go Kraken! Go Hawks!)

I felt this picture

Which is why, as a country, I think we need to strongly consider sortition. At least then we'd have people who would likely try to serve the country versus themselves.

Yes, and that was hard. I thought it was important to stand as witness though. I'll get around to Gisèle's book eventually. Just need some space from sex pests and what they get away with.
