So, today NPR’s “The World” did a segment on the Diwali Barbie. And I’m in it! That isn’t really what is exciting.
This is though. Inderpal Grewal is interviewed. I just finished writing a paper that cites her about 50 times! It was so awesome. I’m totally smitten with her work.
I feel so special I just want to hug my computer.
I was having a kind of day (this happens frequently when I’m feeling stressed) where I was beating myself up over wanting to be affirmed by people around me - people I love but don’t necessarily respect. That is to say, I don’t necessarily respect their politics. Yet I still seek their approval. And I was so angry about it - so unable to let that go.
And then I saw the link and I just felt so empowered and honored to be alongside such awesome bloggers and feminists and professors. It was just what I needed to get through the next couple of weeks - I miss writing in this and I’m sorry I haven’t recently.
