(“No brass bands. No speeches. Instead a still, silent, effective influence.”—Anti-suffrage speech.)
We are waging—can you doubt it?
A campaign so calm and still
No one knows a thing about it
And we hope they never will.
No one knows
What we oppose,
And we hope they never will.
Our way of life
has hardly changed
since a wheel first
whetted a knife.

I recently read a quote from the actor Denzel Washington, which most likely does not come from him at all. It doesn’t matter who said or wrote that, but he or she speaks from my heart. “With so many things coming back in style, I can’t wait until morals, respect, and intelligence become a trend again.”
…
Nothing could have prepared me for this. So beautiful and yet so frightening. Not in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that a contemporary dance could shake me that much.
Sometimes it breaks my heart a little to delete numbers because there is a human being behind them.

Well, the headline is not true. “Dozer”, the beautiful energetic golden retriever doesn’t cook, he leaves it up to his human “Nagi” but he is her willing food tester.
I didn’t know there was something wrong with me until second grade. A girl in my class looked at my hands and told me I had sausage fingers.
I spent the summer of 1991 in Yugoslavia, a country that no longer exists. As always I got paid to travel and had all extra expenses reimbursed, which is fair enough because you still pay all your monthly bills at home.
For me, this is a verdict for all women.
A wealthy man in a powerful position vs a woman.
Women had to let it happen for way too long. This verdict is another big step forward. Sexual abuse is not happening because women ask for it, it’s still happening so often because so far most men have gotten away with it.

Everybody has already moved onto 2024 and I am still mentally stuck in 2023. I am running behind like always. I still haven’t let go of the old year, too much has happened and while not all might be worth sharing, I will do it anyway. 🙂
