Always fight back when they try to close you down. Because even when it looks hopeless, you'll never know that you might actually win.

Not what I was looking for, BUT... on ethnicity, diets, bodily forms, and enslavement this is most intriguing. The recommendation is in short to purchase a woman who can make an particular ethnic food, and that you will want her to be well fed herself (as a sign of her skill? as desirable body?)

Google scholar has a glitch in my record of publications that I find v v amusing. There is a proper entry for my 2021 book, but there is also a line attributing to 1945 with significant citations. If I was in a field that gave rat's ass about h-index scores, I'm guess this would be more upsetting.

A High Court judge has forced a six-year-old girl to keep the surname of the man who raped her mother. We think this is an outrage and are putting together a legal team so D's mother can take her case to the European Court of Human Rights.

The law has failed a woman and her child – fight back
No survivor should face harm from the very system that is meant to protect them. No child should have to carry an abuser’s name. It’s time to change the system.

Beloved is packing self and children today to come join me in London. I've asked him to hide my personal copy of RRC vol 1 in one of the children's carry on suitcases. I'm missing my copious marginalia. Guilt levels moderate on this imposition of his time and their collective schlepping.
