Baking Cakes

As for bombs, I can throw around the f-ones, particularly in these dark times. I found this article really illuminating. It sheds light on anger, my own in particular.

I used to insist I didn't get angry. Not anymore. On female rage.

Here's a favorite paragraph with words attributed to Audre Lord:

This is over the door of her new store -- so weird and wonderful how women make history.

Yeah. It's been a wonderful weekend.
