I'm not against the idea of daylight savings time as a rule but not really a fan of spring ahead in practice.

I Know Why She Stayed @iknowwhyshestayed.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

When we decided to share our stories, we did so because we wanted wanted other women to understand that they are not alone. When we asked @laralillibridge.bsky.social to write the foreword for the memoir, we had no idea how perfect her understanding of our work would be. Thank you, Lara!

“Sometimes it is easier to see the trauma in others than it is in our own lives. It is in reading that we find validation. And in I Know Why She Stayed I had that experience, over and over. I did not know the term “economic abuse” but I have suffered from it. It is that shared experience that gives us words and power, for if we can name it, we can mourn what we lost, allow ourselves to feel rage, and finally release our pain and say, ‘never again.’” - Lara Lillibridge, author of The Truth About Unringing Phones: Essays on Yearning and Girlish: Growing Up in a Lesbian Home

When I got divorced, I promised myself I'd say yet to any opportunity that came my way. I 100% agree with Amy Fish. Yes, You Should Go. open.substack.com/pub/persiste...

I may not be the perfect mother, but at least I’ve taught my boys not to sleep before Brooklyn and never go 88 mph.

Sometimes it takes me a while to be able to lower my defenses and accept feedback. It took a few weeks, but I finally tried a CP's suggestion on my WIP and OMG I love it so much more now! #booksky #writingCommunity #Memoirists #CNF #writers

Normalize inconsistency in your art. Normalize not making every art piece super detailed and intricate. Normalize just creating art for the sake of it.
