I've been quiet. I am still recovering from the virus which refuses to leave, so I've spent the entire start of this year rescheduling my life.

Emotions, In My Experience
“Emotions, in my experience, aren't covered by single words. I don't believe in "sadness," "joy," or "regret." Maybe the best proof that the language is patriarchal is that it oversimplifies feeling. I'd like to have at my disposal complicated hybrid emotions, Germanic train-car constructions like, say, "The happiness that attends disaster." Or: "The disappointment of … Continue reading Emotions, In My Experience
We Rest…
