I'm tired of trying to correct the myths that keep women so scared they don't do things they want to do. Fortunately, Meg Stone has now written the perfect book that undermines "Don't Fight Back" and other myths with facts and critical thinking. More about the book at the Treehouse Writers blog. https://treehousewriters.com/wp53/2026/06/12/staying-safe/

Wars. Stupid tech. Grift.
A pretense that it’s all normal.
Not civilized yet.

Recovery time
is vital for all. Take it.
Don’t overschedule.

Happy Birthday sung
by strangers: embarrassing,
but also moving.
#zentao

Living in the future,
but not the one I imagined,
or the one we could have.

They think they’re so smart
since they’ve made so much money.
Not civilized yet.

Both heaven and hell
are other people. Connect,
but do so wisely.
