What Thoreau had to say about meaningless work With talk of quiet quitters and pressure on employers to create a space where we can bring our whole selves to work, work is still work. Some of it’s great. Much of it can feel meaningless. It’d be easy to think that the events of 2020 and beyond caused us to wrestle with our relationship with work, but these questions…Read more... https://qz.com/what-thoreau-had-to-say-about-meaningless-work-1850225241

This is a year of slow reading, of reading a lot of female authors and rereading favourite writers 😻(very thankful to @liamoleary._ for our buddy reading🙏) When starting “Deadeye Dick”, I discovered that I’d given it ⭐️⭐️ on Goodreads 🫣😨(I don’t know…it was long ago, I was probably…drunk?) When finishing the story about a man who accidentally makes a huge mistake in his childhood that has an influence on his life and, to some extent, the lives of other people in one sleepy American town, I gave it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Because if you read a book by Vonnegut and don’t find yourself changed, maybe it’s the wrong timing. #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #instabooks #instabook #instabookstagram #whattoread #whattoreadnext #reread #americanliterature #americanauthors #americanwriter #kurtvonnegut #deadeyedick (at Tallinn, Estonia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf1cnbWrlBs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking By Emily Dickinson

Audre Lorde in 1986: "Well, the feminist movement, the white feminist movement, has been notoriously slow to recognize that racism is a feminist concern, not one that is altruistic, but one that is part and parcel of feminist consciousness... I think, in fact, though, that things are slowly changing and that there are white women now who recognize that in the interest of genuine coalition, they must see that we are not the same. Black feminism is not white feminism in Blackface. It is an intricate movement coming out of the lives, aspirations, and realities of Black women. We share some things with white women, and there are other things we do not share. We must be able to come together around those things we share."

from the interview with the Afro-German feminist scholar and author Dr. Marion Kraft, source Wikipedia

#bornonthisday Audre Lorde (Feb 18, 1934 – Nov 17, 1992) was an American writer, womanist, radical feminist, professor, and civil rights activist. She was a self-described "black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet," who "dedicated both her life and her creative talent to confronting and addressing injustices of racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia."

Walt Whitman Paints Beautiful Poetry and a Deathless Attachment to Freedom

In his intro to Leaves of Grass, Walt Whitman undoubtedly casts a net over the immense semantics of liberty and posterity in the Constitution. #whaltwhitman #poetry #quotes #americanwriter #american #poet #whitman

If there ever was a writer who weaves vivid tales of American liberty and posterity as represented in the preamble to the Constitution, it is without a doubt, Walt Whitman. In his introduction to Leave of Grass, Whitman casta a net over the immense semantics of liberty and posterity as presented by our founding fathers: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union,…
