Thank you, and thank you!! 💜💜 I’m so grateful for the time you spent with my words!
Isn’t phallusies just fantstic?! I can’t take credit for it - I borrowed that straight from Dr. Jenni Nuttall’s fantastic Mother Tongue. (If you haven’t read it, and enjoyed this as well as my medieval stuff, I highly recommend!!)
Happy Birthday and thanks for # 32 from an old white guy doing his best to fight the patriarchy. Like you said: "None of us are free until all of us are free."
Thank you. I am learning much from you. Patriarchy is the succubus of shame - that lands! I'm glad for your resolutions, and how you build on them. Thank you. Celebrate each year as you are able.
Thank you for the resource list and especially the Feminist of Cellblock Y. I’ve read bell hooks books but seeing how her beliefs towards dismantling patriarchy are being worked out at ground zero was both difficult and yet cautiously hopeful and I did not expect that. It may be too much to expect that the men in that programme once released were sufficiently strengthened to began that dismantling in the lives of their families but I can hope. Thank you for that share!
Ah, number 33 "It's OK to be selfish" came at me in a very timely manner as I found an incredible research grant to apply for, but it will require time away from my husband and the one teenager who's still at home. In the unlikely event that I get it, I will be selfish.
I always love this — a great reminder for everyone. Happy Birthday!
Thank you! I needed to be reminded of quite a few of these this year as it has been a challenging one. Grateful for the power of words!

Also, how have I not noticed "phallusies" before that is officially my new favorite word 🤩
