My #2019ReadingGoal was to read a book per week. Yesterday I finished book #50. I’m now trying to decide on the two books to take me to my goal. I will write about it all at the beginning of the year. I have LOVED it.
I have focused on writers of colour, especially queer womxn. Next two books will probably be by Nigerian and Omani women. #2019ReadingGoal
I’ve collected all the books I’ve read this year together on a shelf and I’m excited to post a picture of the pile! #2019ReadingGoal
Also: I decided my #2019ReadingGoal would focus on fiction.

If bill passes:
- A woman may be told by a manager that women should submit to their husbands or that women should not be employed outside the home.
- A student with disability may be told by a teacher their disability is a trial imposed by God. #Australia theguardian.com/world/2019/dec…
Bill would protect:
- A Catholic doctor refusing to provide contraception to all patients (EM) or to prescribe hormone treatment for gender transition
- A psychiatrist could say to a woman with depression that “she should be looking forward to the kingdom of heaven”.
#Australia
- An office worker could declare on social media that a fellow employee is in a wheelchair because they are sinful and urge them to attend a faith healer. #Australia

Why are there so many Bootlickers of the Patriarchy in #Australia? Every day I learn about more. What is wrong with these white women? Look at her bio! Is it a parody account?
“Help Bettina challenge the male-bashing campaign...” You what?! I often describe Footsoldiers of the Patriarchy as women who accept crumbs. Bootlicker Bettina doesn’t want even the crumbs! This is craven.
Has anyone done a feminist analysis of these white #Australian women?

Sugar daddy hankco but instead of searching for a daddy Connor ends up meeting Hank when they ride on the same train and Connor, exhausted from Uni and his two jobs, falls asleep against CEO Hank’s wool-coat covered broad shoulder. Hank’s too amused to wake this poor stranger up.
Hank doesn’t drive - after he nearly got Cole killed in an accident he hasn’t been able to get behind the wheel. And being driven around by someone hired to do it seems embarrassing. So he takes the train, and pretends he lives a normal life like everyone else here. That he
doesn’t regularly handle money worth the life savings of a whole cartful of people put together, that there are people in here who barely make in a year what he makes in a month. He knows he got lucky. Most cops who retire early don’t go on to make bank. Hank and Jeffrey had

(THREAD) This open thread provides live updates on former special counsel Bob Mueller's Congressional testimony before the House Judiciary Committee and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. I hope you will retweet this thread for any you think may be interested.
1/ After Rep. Nadler (D-NY) summarized the report in a few sentences, Rep. Collins (R-GA) deliberately and repeatedly mischaracterized its findings and concluded by saying falsely, "These are the facts of the report." They weren't—and he knew they weren't. A bad sign for the GOP.
2/ Mueller begins by saying he decided early on that he had to move expeditiously as well as fairly. He is already beginning his defense of closing up his office (in the view of many) "early" given still-open cases and subpoenas for testimony and documents that remain unanswered.

The Gift of Fear, by Gavin de Becker
"Predatory animals devour prey in order to convert flesh into fuel. Most human predators, however, seek power, not food. To destroy or damage something is to take its power. To push a pie into the face of the world's richest man is to take his power, if only for a moment."
Chapter 1 opens with a play-by-play of Kelly's interaction with a stranger. She's heading home with her hands full, when a bag gives way, and a young man appears, offering his help. He talks too much, insists on following her up, and into her home. He rapes and almost kills her.
