The cover of the book CHERRY BABY by Rainbow Rowell is beige with a giant red cherry in the middle. The title text is below the cherry in red. The author’s name is in black above the cherry. The cherry has a green stem tied in a loose knot.
“If you don’t believe you deserve good things,” Cherry whispered, “how can I believe I’m a good thing?”

“Maybe Tom fell in love with her because he needed someone who chased and pushed and opened. Maybe Tom needed a girl who was a verb. That was Cherry. (That was Cherish.)

I guess we know what Melania will be doing this weekend.
But can he teleport?
A photo of a green lawn leading into a flooding river. There are trees beginning to bud in the water. The sky is blue.
When the river is high and flooding, it feels like we live on a lake. The lawn drops off into the water rather than making a beach. Beautiful spring night.
I hear there are lots of Canadians with Dutch ancestors (as I have). Yes, Nellie is a family name for us too! It’s funny for us because 2 generations back from me (in the US), all the women were given “Dutch” names on their birth certificates but the men were given “American” names. Patriarchy!

Wow. Yes!

More than that, it’s abuser mentality. We are in an abusive relationship with our government officials.

My mom was intellectual, insightful, kind, feminist, & challenging. Yet, she regularly referred to me as “sturdy” & told me I’d always be a fat adult. This is the deeply held patriarchy that takes generations to shake. @rainbowrowell.bsky.social’s a genius in creating Cherry, a “fat” heroine. 📚💙
Rainbow Rowell is a genius at writing the most perfect thoughts.
Tell me one Republican who has admitted to a mistake let alone learned from one.

“She thought about texting someone, but there came a point when you’ve been so sad for so long, and so repeatedly, that you couldn’t actually bear telling people anymore. When it felt like you were retelling the same story.”

Nice to know!
Reminder: Women used to play in men’s sports when women weren’t allowed to have women’s sports teams. Some women & girls still play on men’s football, baseball, & wrestling teams when they aren’t offered as team options to women. All levels often practice with men. Lots of teams have men coaches.
It’s making me want to try it again. At a reading on Sunday, @rainbowrowell.bsky.social addressed how food plays a part in her writing. 📚💙
Thank you. I’ll keep talking about it to everyone I encounter! 💜
