weekend reads + such

I took some time recently to sit down + find some books to put on hold at the library. A few days later, we were able to pick up this exciting stack! It really made my day to have so much possibility at my fingertips. My current comfort with borrowed books is enhanced by knowing that our library is quarantining returned books for three days in order to minimize their chances of being Covid-carriers. We are able to pick up books via a drive-thru, which minimizes human contact too.

I've enjoyed reading Home Fire by Kamila Shamsie + Hood Feminism by Mikki Kendall. I'd been looking forward to watching On the Basis of Sex again with my girls. This movie stirred up so much emotion + made me think so much of the current Black Lives Matter movement...changed thought + culture making us ready + able to bring about a great shift in legislation. And then the final Ruth Bader Ginsburg quote of the movie, "I ask no favor for my sex, all I ask of our brethren is that they take their feet off our necks." So, yeah...tears.

Beautiful plus sized sewing patterns.
Dance, monkey.
Something I no longer recognize.
Painting for conservation.
If you sit at my table + eat with me, you will know who I am.
Fight for democracy + the USPS here + here.
Get out the vote!

Hope you have a weekend full of bright spots, friends!

Love,
Jane
