Still dressing like it's summer at home. But my butt hurts from all the sitting. Somebody help me.
@christydawn dress second hand from @ebay
It probably sounds like I shop from Ebay a lot. Because I do. I buy used whenever possible. On the blog, I share 7 online marketplaces to buy (and sell) secondhand fashion. Link in bio.

I am not ready for your Covid entertainment. No TV

I am not ready for your Covid entertainment. No TV shows, novels, documentaries, memoirs, plays, etc., about the lockdown, PLEASE. Especially not now, while we're still living it, and not for at least ten years, twenty, maybe ever.

That said, I made an exception for "Intimations." I wanted to see what Zadie's been up to during quarantine. I always like her essays, and the 6 short essays she wrote in the early months of the lockdown did not disappoint. They might just be some of her best work yet. They're at once personal and abstract, moving and intellectual, so casually powerful. My fave has to be a couple of mini chapters under Screengrabs - "A Man with Strong Hands" and "Contempt as a Virus."
Some of the ideas in her other essays appealed to me as a writer. In one, she argues that writing is just "something to do" the way baking banana bread is something to do. In another she explains why writing is all resistance. A form of control. Great for the page, but terrible practice for real life. I can't disagree.

Do you know your life purpose?
I find that people generally fall into 4 categories:

1) Those who know what they want and go after it full force.

2) Those who know what they want and are too afraid to pursue it.

3) Those who are searching when it’s under their noses.

4) Those who don’t know and desperately want to.

Read my latest blog post for clarity on this topic. 💖 #linkinbio

P.S. Is my #ethicaloutfit looking a little '90s grunge to you too?

A year later, I’m still thinking about this unconventional literary trilogy. Please indulge me in my fangirling of Rachel Cusk. This is my latest #CuppaTeaBookClub pick (join on
Goodreads.com).

In Outline, a novelist named Faye goes to Athens to teach a writing seminar. Throughout her trip, she encounters people who reveal to her all sorts of fantasies, anxieties, longings, and regrets. By the end of the first book, Faye realizes: “He was describing, in other words, what she
herself was not: in everything he said about himself, she found in her own nature a corresponding negative. This anti-description, for want of a better way of putting it, had made something clear to her by a reverse kind of exposition: while he talked she began to see herself as a shape, an outline, with all the detail filled in around it while the shape
itself remained black. Yet this shape, even while its content remained unknown, gave her for the first time since the incident a sense of who she was now."

In book 1, Faye remains largely in the background, waiting for her own identity to be shaped and illuminated by other people. In book 2, Transit, we learn more about Faye’s personal life: her move to London, her divorce, her family. I found this shift a bit jarring, but by book 3, the two formats converge into a smooth blend of Faye’s life and her conversations with strangers in Europe. “You can’t tell your story to everybody,” Faye advises her son, who is going through a
crisis, at the end of Kudos. “Maybe you can only tell it to one person.”
