Huh. Did not know that hotels in Copenhagen have been using sea water to cool bedrooms instead of traditional electric air conditioning.
What a smart solution..

@Jarmara ye gods and little fishes. They were BABIES a minute ago!
Our Smol just bounced into the living room with a face full of make-up for the first time ever, so I think it's fair to say our tween is hitting her teens ❤️
Thoroughly reccomend, though with the caveat that Baldwin is not a cheerful writer, and you should expect to face brutal honesty presenting unvarnished truth.

Nothing has changed, really. White Supremacy has just found a different face to present its evil, and legislative change means it can protest that racism

I wish I had studied his writing in school and university alongside Maya Angelou, Angela Davies and Stuart Hall. He is a remarkable essayist, and there is a great deal one can learn from his work.

Baldwin is a searingly honest commentator. He writes with a dry tone of sarcasm and critique which is somehow both soul baringly harsh, but as gentle as a mother's hug. His reflections on the status of African Americans in the era of segregation, lynching and Jim Crow is regrettably recognisable and as relevant today as it was then.

James Baldwin is one of those authors who I have only begun to read in the last few years, to my shame, and I am rather of the opinion that his work should be taught in schools.

Notes of a Native Son would be easier to read, had I read the novel Native Son (Richard Wright) first, however, one can still make a great deal of sense of this collection of essays without it.

An excellent afternoon of playing Magic*, though I'm now absolutely exhausted.

It's been a very long week, in which I achieved none of the things I had planned for my holiday, because the puppy is refusing to sleep at night, and disturbed sleep always sends me into a flare.

Oh and I've developed high cholesterol since starting on Testosterone
