Phew! I just did an hour+ of yardwork, and pulled up most of the volunteer maples and mulberry bushes, some of which had been there for years. It does feel good to do physical work you can see the results of right away.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
We head over to Chez flea in a little bit to hang out with tommyrot and the family flea! We bought snacky-type food at Trader Joe's to take over, mostly so I had a legitimate reason to buy the white cheddar puffed corn (I cannot buy it for us, because if it is in our house I will eat the whole bag in 2 hours, maybe less).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Or is Bell Hooks saying that dressing scantily is promoting enslavement of women? An objectification thing?
I'm guessing you didn't listen to the talk, but they go into a fair amount detail about the infantilisation and disempowering of that picture, and also assert she has more control over the final picture than I was saying. So she's complicit in undermining the thesis of her power, and offering herself up as a treat, and not a powerful one.
While you might not agree, they discuss it quite a bit, and I don't do it justice.

Is it TJ's version of Pirate Booty? If so I guarantee we will eat in in 2 hours, tops. (Have I had dinner yet? Nope. Am I about to eat one of my children? Yep.)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

It's like purple on the front, and mostly about bodies.

Go, erika!
Man, Janelle Monae is pretty. And I hadn't realized quite how committed she was to the b/w wardrobe.
I went for a long hilly run this morning, then took Dad to the farmer's market, and now I have to make some dessert for tomorrow. I bought strawberries and I'm planning a freezer strawberry souffle, which is especially interesting because you use raw eggs and then don't cook it.
... yeah. I'm going to be nervous about this.
