Book

“Hood Feminism” by Mikki Kendall

This book does an exceptional job showing feminists where their blind spots are and how to overcome them. I found it impossible to find fault with any of her conclusions even when I wanted to because she pokes at some uncomfortable points. If you consider yourself a feminist, I highly recommend you read this book.

Did you know?

Eeny, meeny, miney, moe has a dark racist history. It wasn’t always a tiger being caught.

Walmart Delivery

Got our first Walmart delivery this morning. Not sure it’s enough of a convenience to offset the membership cost but we’ll see if there are other benefits that make it worth it. The pickup works fine for us and still allows for social distancing which, considering the uptick in COVID, is going to be needed again. Tennessee and I have both been under the weather and think avoiding people whenever possible is a good idea.

Also, they are still working out the bugs. I scheduled the delivery for last night, but they didn’t have any drivers so the flowers that were supposed to be delivered for our date night didn’t make it until this morning. Since we didn’t have a date night because we were not feeling well, it wasn’t a big deal, but if they want this service used, they had better figure this out.

Back Home

I was able to watch the Broncos game last night and it was nice to watch it while texting with my mom as she was watching it too. It’s not the same of course but it brought a feeling of being back home. That’s a weird expression–back home.

This is home now, but that still feels like home too. Is it possible to have two homes? They both feel like home, but also there’s a place in my head where it’s actually mom’s house and Tennessee’s house and neither feels fully mine.

It makes me wonder if I’ve even been anywhere where I felt truly at home, where I felt it was mine. I can’t think of a single one, even here where I am happier than I have ever been. I guess I have some work to do.

My Wish

My wish for each of you is that you have or find a space that feels truly yours.

Be well my friends.
