K, a 19th century philosopher, wrote about how anxiety is a necessary emotion that should be listened to -- it is cuing you that change is needed. It is a feeling of uprooting, which is unsettling, but prepares you for action. Often one must feel anxiety and instability in order to make great changes. So it's time to leave what you've been doing and wander around in the dark for a while. You have to go find what does actually satisfy you. It is the start of a journey, and the thing you are searching for won't be obvious immediately. Sure, there is a potential for something new that you will connect with and feel good about. But first comes the sadness of walking away.

How the Raven Stole the Light

Well, all creatures were created. But everybody lived in darkness. And the crow had been there from the beginning and had seen the whole world being built.

But when light was made, crow took it! She took it away from the half formed things! Swallowed and absorbed all the light, and that’s how she turned so all black. And she got the anger of all things upon her, and so she let it go. But still she's resented. Because she held the light and enjoyed it when we didn't know what it was. Crow was there before our senses and suffers for our commitments. She knows things we are predicated not to know.

The crow lives in our bones.

Lady Science won’t be going to any more academic conferences. I’m writing this at the airport, just hours after we did a roundtable at the American Historical Association Conference with Nursing Clio and Dig: A History Podcast about feminist history projects. It went well, the crowd was small bu

“But most of all we hate grovelling, begging for recognition from an indifferent and apparently immovable institution. For a long time, we assumed we were just not working hard enough to explain ourselves, the value of our project, our rigor and process, our passion for the material. That maybe if we did the right conferences, spoke to the right people at mixers, we wouldn’t be treated like unreasonable harpies, demanding outsiders, or, worst, like we were invisible. But this is literally the kind of thinking the abuser cultivates in the victim, the doubt that makes you pick up the ominously ringing phone every time.“
