Big ol’ roundup: October 10, 2025

I’ve given up on assigning any regular frequency to these roundups. Life has been incredibly busy, but I’m always making random notes in my phone about things I want to include in my roundup when I get around to it. I’m getting around to it today in large part because my daughter is off with her Dad on an Adventure Guides trip. Might go crazy and take a yoga class tonight. Here’s the roundup!

Quotes by Kim Hooper (?)

“Time doesn't heal all, no matter what they say. And tragedies don't make you stronger. That's another popular lie. They just make you more hardened, less surprised by misfortune.”
― Kim Hooper, People Who Knew Me: A Novel

“Those poor men can’t be blamed for their biology—they are made to spread their seed, they are governed by their base instincts. Poor men and their ambitious penises.”
― Kim Hooper, Woman on the Verge

“Women are masters of efficiency, always considering how many birds they can kill with one measly stone. Men are accustomed to having all the stones in the world and none of the birds.”
― Kim Hooper, Woman on the Verge

Kim’s Quotes

“We are a package deal, however. Our trait of sensitivity means we will also be cautious, inward, needing extra time alone. Because people without the trait (the majority) do not understand that, they see us as timid, shy, weak, or that greatest sin of all, unsociable. Fearing these labels, we try to be like others. But that leads to our becoming overaroused and distressed. Then that gets us labeled neurotic or crazy, first by others and then by ourselves.”
― Elaine N. Aron, The Highly Sensitive Person
