Book Review: Men Explain Things to Me by Rebecca Solnit (And Join the 2018 Women’s March)

I used to think feminists were insane. I actually thought they were overblown, volatile, superfluous, and – get this, “asking for it.” I thought they hated men. I thought they wanted to destroy men. And, as ignorant as a turnip, I thought feminists were Satanists. (Gulp. Did I actually admit that?) It was what I…

Book Review: The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love by bell hooks

An absolutely compelling read, The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love by bell hooks (she does not capitalize her name) urges us to reclaim feminism for men as the result of patriarchy maintaining its power over their lives.

I made a vegan quiche today: vegan meat crumbles at bottom with #justinc egg, onions, spinach, vegan mozzarella, mushrooms, and spices in a pie shell.
Dear Ruth, I Jumped Off the Pedestal Because of You
Lots of labor for Peter and I on this lovely Labor Day. We are harvesting what we could from the garden before the snow hits tomorrow. We decided to harvest some and cover the rest. Here is some of what we have. We will be freezing lots of it today. Anyone want any sunflowers?! I've never had so many beautiful sunflowers in my house at once!
We treated ourselves to a big breakfast this morning because... Why not?! Fruit salad, hash browns, pancakes, #JustEgg, #LightLifeBacon, and coffee from #OwlsNest in Franktown. #allveganeverything, #allcrueltyfree
Today's harvest. Happy Sat to everyone!
I was craving Mexican stew today! #allveganeverything
