Happy Friday, I hope you are having a good day. I’m a bit more busy doing the work they pay me for than I’d like to be on a Friday, I like my Fridays at work to be tidying up the work I’ve done during the week and planning and prep for next week and that’s not happening today. Today is more a sprint to the finish with the promise of a haircut at the end, which is good because I’m beginning to look like Cousin It!
Links started off really well and then I got caught up in work and being too tired when I got home to read!
2) Sod off Morrissey. Couldn’t agree more, I can’t stand him and wasn’t keen on the Smiths either.
3) Zoe Williams talking about ‘motherism’. not sure I agree but enjoying the comments.
4) We do seem to live in a world where you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. I wrote this in 2012 when I was feeling quite frustrated at being treated like a second class citizen ’cause I was single and childless.
5) Marginal Losses. Jenny Baker on women and living in a culture of ‘marginal losses’. Full disclosure Jenny is my friend and is also the only women I know who could write so clearly about women, society, church culture AND manage to reference cycling too.
6) I can’t help but think that this is rubbish but some of the comments, nail the whole ‘being a single woman’ experience.
Anything you guys think I should be reading this week?
