I've been starting a lot of blog posts in my head, thinking a bit and then getting distracted by something else. Some of them are meant for the Bluestocking blog, some for witty title pending, some for here, some for my on-paper journal. Some fragments:
* How central food is to my feeling of community and connection. Cooking for friends makes me so happy! And it's important for me that food be inclusive: I'd rather find vegan, gluten-free, raw, sucrose-free recipes than make food some people can't eat. I've been thinking a bit about the gendered aspects of this, and about how it fits in with my approach to Bluestocking. More later? Maybe.
* On Missing, and friendship. I've had a life where lots of people I've cared about have left my life suddenly and forever, or for long stretches of time. I've adjusted to it, and I think I can now handle it reasonably well. It's hard for me, though, to accept and trust in the idea that people I know now (apart from my family) will still be in my life in five or ten or twenty years time.
* Friends. One of the things that I love the most about the people in my life right now is that they (you!) help Make Things Happen. Ideas that we think are kind of interesting, or fun, or nice, don't always end up happening...but they often do. It's changed my sense of what's possible in life.
* Some bits and pieces about embodiment, and how I feel about the connection between my body and my sense of who I am.
...I thought there was more, but I suspect I've forgotten some things. Anyway. That is all.
