I'm a huge fan of Dolly Parton. We're the same age and height, but she can sing better. Shame on Missouri Republicans for slashing funding to Dolly's Imagination Library, which provides free books to over 170,000 children every month. They must reverse these cuts immediately.

Love this!
Picture from project happiness.org. Author is Holly Holden.
Today I asked my body what she needed, which is a really big deal, considering my journey of not rolling, asking that much. I thought she might need more water, or protein, or greens, or yoga or supplements, or movement.
But as I stood in the shower, reflecting on her stretch marks, her roundness where I would like flatness, her softness where I would like firmness, all those conditioned wishes that form a bundle of never quite rightness. She whispered a very gently: could you just love me like this?

Please share: Participants wanted for doctoral research on South Asian women's experiences of pelvic pain - conducted by my student Mahira Budhraja. Study info in English: uwe.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... And in Hindi: uwe.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...
A research invitation flyer with a light pink background and green paisley illustrations. The heading reads “You are Invited” . The text explains that most pain research has focused on white women, and South Asian women with long-term pelvic pain are not being heard. It invites South Asian women living in the UK who have experienced pelvic pain for more than six months (no diagnosis required) to share their experiences. The flyer provides a QR code and an email address (mahira.budhraja@uwe.ac.uk) for joining the study. It explains that interested participants will complete a brief questionnaire, and 12 women will be invited for a 45–60 minute interview about living with chronic pelvic pain. The bottom-right corner features a large QR code for accessing the questionnaire.
