I just finished ‘The Wonder’ by Emma Donoghue, it was wonderful. An English nurse goes to Ireland to nurse/witness a ‘miracle’ child who supposedly hasn’t eaten for 4 months. It was incredibly well done and I highly recommend it!

Can you help out with the rain/heat thing for the Inauguration? I would really appreciate it!

Enders Game.

I just started reading it last night, so it’s early yet (1999). Putin is Prime Minister. There were a series of deadly apartment bombings that were “officially” blamed on Chechnya, but could have been the work of the FSB (Federal Security Service, the current version of the KGB) in order to spread fear so Putin could…

Reading “A Kipper with My Tea,” a collection of essays by the British food writer Alan Davidson. It’s for my culinary history book club. Also “Three Who Met,” a 50s teenage romance by Margaret Maze Craig.

White Trash The 400 year untold history of class in America by Nancy Isenberg. I’m excited, a woman I know is starting a sf reading club to read sf by women and I told her I could give us a reading list of sf by women of color - she’s totally on board! Yay!

It’s about friends who murder one of their group. They tell you right at the beginning, so I’m not spoiling anything. The first half led up to the murder, and I assume the second will deal with the emotional aftermath. It’s very engrossing. I’ve read 300 pages since last night!

I get evil joy when a troll leaves me some long ass essay of a comment that probably took them a half hour to write and I get to dismiss it after only reading the first sentence.

He probably doesn’t believe you. Unfortunately, even if your lie was true, he probably wouldnt believe you anyway. It kinda sounds like he’s been stalking you?

Unfortunately it seems like he doesn’t listen to your words or observe your behavior. He seems to ignore your objections and project his own reality of the situation.

Oh god that is creepy AF. Be safe, girl!!!!

I’m so sorry. That’s creepy AF

If you are not ovulating regularly, or if you have a problem with your vaginal environment, IUI’s can be helpful. But unless you are super young, don’t waste a lot of time doing a lot of cycles. It’s a very low-return fertility treatment in most circumstances, and is mostly used by insurance companies to thin out…

Just finished Shrill by Lindy West an hour ago. Loved it! Funny, sad, thoughtful, honest—-highly recommend.

I still haven’t read Sweetbitter so I’m going to get it from the library tomorrow, hopefully.

THANK YOU! It can’t be said often enough- remember your DICK moves!

Hi y’all can we all stop bringing trolls out of the greys and getting into inane arguments that never go anywhere and don’t elucidate anything? There’s plenty of other sites to do that on, how’s about we try and keep the level of discourse at Jez at a somewhat intelligent level.

What does your sister say?!?

Hey Jezzies! Hope you are all well tonight!

I’m was so mad last night. I have a 19 month old niece and my brother in law hit her hand for accidentally grazing his face with her fingernails. I tell him it’s not ok to hit a child and he goed and tells me to not tell him how to raise his kid and that I’m out of line. What the fuck? As her aunt, it is my business.…
