"My grandmother ... believed in community as something actively built, not passively inherited. She put her body and her time — her self — into work she felt was important." 2017 Longread, #LeslieJamison on the need to organize and "putting your body where your beliefs are" ( #GloriaSteinem)
Jamison writes, "I was living toward joy that was less about earning and more about ambush, a joy you might call grace." In this moment of failing systems and business not as usual, this sentence sounded like a lost prayer so I had to share it. #lesliejamison
Coming back here to say that I'm near the end of this audio book and it's so beautiful. This segment of the book is about quarantine, which I've never heard writing about that didn't make me want to close the book like 'too soon!' but Jamison captures it powerfully. #lesliejamison
Some media I've ingested recently that helped me feel less alien in my experiences: Novels: All Fours by #mirandajuly , Splinters by #lesliejamison . Also #Nightbitch , which is maybe one of the most accurate accounts of motherhood ever.
Tableau “Dans un café (L’absinthe)” d'Edgar Degas (1873). Cette scène se déroule au café de la Nouvelle Athènes, place Pigalle, point de ralliement des Impressionnistes. Il représente Ellen Andrée, actrice, le regard vague face à un verre d’absinthe, et Marcellin Desboutin, peintre et graveur.
