Conversation I never anticipated having…

July 10, 2018April 9, 2018 / mermaidhairandtales

After the swimming lesson, telling a girl no, she was not allowed to leave the swimming pool change room until she took her pants back off and put her underwear on.

Book 44 of 2018 👍 Finished September 30 I'm only exploring ideas, and I don't want to be disrespectful to those who are more knowledgeable than me. One of the things I've really enjoyed about exploring the Our Tarot deck, is that I can use it in a really open way. I've been using it more as a prompt, a framework for self reflection and intuition and as a way to learn more about the real women who inspired each card. This guide felt more prescriptive than I'm interested in. The interpretations felt more explicit and rigid and not they way I'm interested in using Tarot. It seems like a comprehensive and detailed overview though, so from what I can tell if you're interested in using Tarot for readings this could be what you are looking for. I think if I wanted to be using more traditional spreads when trying to use cards, this would be useful but I generally just pick a card and use it as a framework for self reflection rather than as a more explicit guide or prediction. #bookstagram #reading #book #review #thetarotcompanion #lizdean #tarot #library #supportyourlibrary #jmbooklist #jmbooklist2018

Book 43 of 2018 👍 Finished September 20 I read this book in one sitting. Admittedly I'm already a fan of Franchesca and have enjoyed hearing her insight and ideas in the past on YouTube, her snapchat (rip) and on her podcast. I've definitely noticed the way she has engaged online has changed over the past few years and it became even clearer after reading this some of why and how that has come to be. There was nothing brand new here for me but I think it's collected in a really accessible and readable way. Taking a step back, I think for people who are brand new to this online (and activist) world, it is a great introduction. Franchesca is super open about mistakes and missteps she may have made over the years and her willingness to step up and admit when she's got it wrong (and genuinely take steps to commit to doing better and making amends) is really brave and important. I think this is a great text for anyone new to the online activist world or anyone who is just looking for a little clarity around the subject. #bookstagram #reading #book #wellthatescalatedquickly #memoirsandmistakesofanaccidentalactivist #franchescaramsey @chescaleigh #chescaleigh #feminism #online #activism #library #supportyourlibrary #september #jmbooklist #jmbooklist2018

It's definitely nice not to be leaving in the pitch dark but more importantly, what's with the lovely warmth? #daylightsavings #feelslikesummer #melbourne #uni #university #latefinish

Book 42 of 2018 👍 Finished September 19 I found this book really interesting. Nothing was particularly new or groundbreaking for me but it presented ideas about truth and truthful representation of facts in a really accessible way. It had a simple dot point summary at the end of each chapter and spelt out the strategies that can be used when presenting arguments or ideas, and attempts to teach you how to critically read and analyse media. In this day and age, this is only becoming more essential and I think all of us could benefit from honing these skills. Also, a list of resources at the end to assist with fact checking media. #bookstagram #reading #book #review #truth #truthhowthemanysidestoeverystoryshapeourreality #criticalthinking #media #criticalliteracy #hectormacdonald #library #supportyourlibrary #september #jmbooklist #jmbooklist2018
