Thank you, USPS Mail Recovery, for locating, re-packaging, and finally delivering the book I ordered two months ago. The sad part is that I didn’t even realize it had gone walkabout.

Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost
There’s been a spate of goddess worshipping in one of my feminist groups. I tend to be turned off by that, but whatever. If some women need to feel like their ladybits are holy and magical, that’s their problem, right? But then, when I said that I wasn’t too interested in the contemporary, new agey spiritual appropriation of medieval “goddess” sculptures, I was scolded and told that my negative reaction was due to the fact that I’m uncomfortable with my vagina.
The entire exchange reminded me of the ancient and still thriving theory that women’s irrationality is caused by their ladybits. Specifically their wandering uteruses. Which then made me think of that famous quote from The Lord of the Rings. My point being, that if my uterus and I are wandering, it’s likely for good reason. We ladypeople are righteously angry about something. It’s not PMS. It’s not fear and loathing of our bodies. It’s a reasonable and rational response to the world we live in.
I mean, how could we not be pissed off?

I love these two photos. They must have been taken on the same day, because she’s wearing the same clothes.

A Storm Rolling In
After the initial burst of wind and the darkening sky, it didn’t end up amounting to much. We got about 5 drops of rain, and the temperature fell about 20 degrees. It was kind of dramatic for about 30 seconds, though!
