what I read this week

Sunday

Trump Furloughed Me. Should I take up Pole-Dancing?: “ A few of my neighbors ask if I’m affected by the shutdown. I say not yet.”

When Honest Women Replace ‘Self-Made’ Men: “ But the fact that this version of a hero’s journey grows partly out of sexism doesn’t make it any less true. If voters can see the group effort that enables power and achievement, it could diminish the collective discomfort with powerful women. It can also help illustrate the unearned advantages that put some people in power. Women shouldn’t adapt to the existing lie; men in the political realm should be more honest.”

Once Misunderstood and Isolated, She Found a Surrogate Family and Started Her Own: “She said she knew something was deeply wrong, but denial was easier than trying to comprehend the unknown specter of depression.”

Monday

The Reasonable Way to View Marijuana’s Risks : “ We should be honest about what we do and don’t know. We need more research. It’s true that much of the literature around marijuana focuses on the negative, but that’s “largely due to funding priorities over the last several decades,” Dr. Cooper said.”

The Men Who Left Were White: “I want to tell America: you can't escape my story. After all, mine is a storyline threaded through all of humanity, the price women have been overpaying since the beginning of time and sex. As long as men have been fucking, they've been disappearing.”

‘She Took My Arm With Her Left Hand and Held Her Walking Stick in Her Right’: “Everyone in the car was silent, stunned by the brazenness of what had just happened. And then everyone in the car broke into laughter and applause at the nerve and dexterity required to carry out such a masterful theft.”

Tuesday

Dance Nation by Clare Barron

A “Rape Fantasy” Plot Sent Her To Jail. Now She’s Fighting Back.: “ After she got out, Hadley persuaded her parents to help the jailhouse cellmate she’d grown close to to pay for an attorney. As a family, they’ve lost the faith they once had in the justice system — a faith Hadley realized was a luxury of being born middle-class and white, prone to assuming the best of the police. “

I forgot to log the rest of the week. School is starting back!

what I read today:

My horoscope: “Pay close attention to your work life when 2019's lunar eclipses come around, Libra. Your career planet is, after all, the moon, and its eclipses will likely reveal new information about how you can best succeed.”

Doctors Don't Believe Women — & It's A Problem For All Of Us: “On the one hand, there’s this lack of attention to women’s bodies and their health condition that obviously harms women, but that's also scientifically unjustifiable. We have lost out on a lot of medical knowledge, because we’ve directed more health research to, and prioritized, the health conditions of men.“

what I read today

Reports of Rapes and Hate Crimes Rise in 2018, but New York Remains Safest Big City: ““We view it as good news because it means that more people are feeling confident to come forward and report the rape,” said Sonia Ossorio, the president of the National Organization for Women of New York. She added: “The clear indication is that more people are reporting their assaults rather than suffering in silence as so many people have done for so long.””

Our Daughter’s Rich Friends Are Driving Me Nuts: “What you can do is trust that you raised her well. Your daughter’s head may be turned by shiny things for a minute (or a semester), but life is long.”

what I read yesterday:

2019: the year of the Wolves : “But we don’t live in a healthy society and we don’t have a healthy president.“

James Watson won’t stop talking about Race : “ Some scientists said that Dr. Watson’s recent remarks are noteworthy less because they are his than because they signify misconceptions that may be on the rise, even among scientists, as ingrained racial biases collide with powerful advances in genetics that are enabling researchers to better explore the genetic underpinnings of behavior and cognition.”
