Scottish Tartan and Highland Dress by Fiona MacDonald

I brought this teeny little book with me to Minnesota's Renaissance Faire during their Scottish Highland themed weekend. I'm a huge fan of history, fashion, and fun facts, so Scottish Tartan and Highland Dress by Fiona Macdonald was a fun read, even though, it was a bit basic at times.

Remembering and Rereading Kate Chopin’s The Awakening

The Awakening by Kate Chopin came to me the summer I most desperately needed to find a woman who understood. I was in the midst of a crisis: The crisis of being a woman. I was finding out its darkest meaning in the most horrific ways. Finding one person, however fictional, validated the tragedies I lived and the ones I had yet to experience.

11… Joy Bringers

The world has gone to shit... Kidding. The world has always been shit becaus systemic racism is real and has always been real, but the world is finally starting to wake up to it. COVID is making the world a worse place, so I'm thinking about things that bring me joy tonight. Like carousels. I fucking love carousels. So. Damn. Much.
