books & feminism
I haven’t been doing a ton of reading in the last couple of weeks. I haven’t been doing anything particularly constructive though, either. What I have been doing though, is binge listening to tons of podcasts.…
For the last two, almost three, years I’ve worked in a public library. I started at the bottom as what we call a clerk—i.e. someone who shelves books—and have been working my way up. I’ve…
