Book cover for Memorial Days
I will begin my own memorial days. I am taking something that our culture has stopped freely giving: the right to grieve.

Kamila Shamsie
“For girls, becoming women was inevitability. For boys, becoming men was ambition.”
Kamila Shamsie, Home Fire

“Misogyny is explicitly, visibly incentivized and rewarded. You can watch it self-perpetuate in front of your eyes.”
Lindy West, Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman

Julie Orringer
“The [bird's] nest with its streamers was a final unbidden touch: It was what human hands had not brought to the building, and could not remove. It was like love, he thought, this crumbling chapel: It had been complicated, and thereby perfected, by what time had done to it.”
Julie Orringer, The Invisible Bridge
tags: love, nest

Ta-Nehisi Coates
“So I feared not just the violence of this world but the rules designed to protect you from it, the rules that would have you contort your body to address the block, and contort again to be taken seriously by colleagues, and contort again so as not to give the police a reason. All my life I’d heard people tell their black boys and black girls to “be twice as good,” which is to say “accept half as much.” These words would be spoken with a veneer of religious nobility, as though they evidenced some unspoken quality, some undetected courage, when in fact all they evidenced was the gun to our head and the hand in our pocket. This is how we lose our softness. This is how they steal our right to smile.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates, Between the World and Me

Ta-Nehisi Coates
“Black people love their children with a kind of obsession. You are all we have, and you come to us endangered.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates, Between the World and Me
