Status Updates From Non-noyées: Leçons Féminist...

Those last few chapters were extremely good.

Inspiration from humpback whales:

“And what I wonder is,
What happens when we shift our behavior beyond the characteristics most palatable to predatory “allies”?
What happens when we value our mass impact as much as or more than our unique and haunting songs?
And after we finish proving we are smart and capable of feeling g to those who somehow think that it is wise to boil the world, what then?”
