Unslut, A Diary and a Memoir by Emily Lindin

From the book sleeve: The founder of the Unslut Project uses her actual middle school diary entries to reflect on relationships, bullying, and what it means to be labeled a slut.

The organization where I work requires all supervisors to take a minimum of 8 hours refresher training on "Team Leading" a year. Today they brought in a guest speaker named Robyn Benincasa. She wrote "How Winning Works: 8 Essential Leadership Lessons from the Toughest Teams on Earth." Robyn is a world champion adventure racer and a Guinness World Record kayaker (Not that kind of Guinness ) and a member of an all-female firefighting crew. She is also the founder of "Project Athena" which is a non-profit organization that helps women survivors of medical setbacks live an adventurous dream as part of their recovery.

As part of the training class we were all given a copy of the book which I started this evening. Some of the points seem rather intuitive but overall the book looks promising. I am grappling with a few things, one being her quote "Having a Plan B distracts from achieving the goal of Plan A." I'm not sure how to feel about that as I am a "Plan A, B, C, D,..." kind of gal. However I am keeping an open mind.

Default The once and future liberal : after identity politics / Mark Lilla.

American liberalism fell under the spell of identity politics, with disastrous consequences. Driven originally by a sincere desire to protect the most vulnerable Americans, the left has now unwittingly balkanized the electorate, encouraged self-absorption rather than solidarity, and invested its energies in social movements rather than in party politics. Lilla goes to show how the left's identity-focused individualism insidiously conspired with the amoral economic individualism of the Reaganite right to shape an electorate with little sense of a shared future and near-contempt for the idea of the common good. In the contest for the American imagination, liberals have abdicated.

--------


This book is fascinating from both a historical and a behavioral standpoint.

If you are curious as to why intersectionalism is problematic in both interpersonal movements and political ways, he explains it well.

Just finished Strange Justice: The Selling of Clarence Thomas.

This really shed light on how the "good old boy" network stuck together to get him confirmed at almost any cost.

It makes me sad to think Joe Biden was a part of this and that he wasn't a stand up guy!

Hm, this sounds interesting. I might look at this since this new wave has foregone the collective in favor of the individual, which is worrying.

Is it anti-intersectional or does it examine the issues this new generation is having?

I’m just reading academic stuff, but I hope to start a Coetzee novel soon.

What Happened - Hillary Clinton (audio book read by the author)

I’m glad to be listening to this book as read by Hillary, because it adds a depth of understanding about her as a person through her own voice and her own words that I don’t think I would have gotten otherwise.

Default Why liberalism failed / Patrick J. Deneen

"Of the three dominant ideologies of the twentieth century--fascism, communism, and liberalism--only the last remains. This has created a peculiar situation in which liberalism's proponents tend to forget that it is an ideology and not the natural end-state of human political evolution. As Patrick Deneen argues in this provocative book, liberalism is built on a foundation of contradictions: it trumpets equal rights while fostering incomparable material inequality; its legitimacy rests on consent, yet it discourages civic commitments in favor of privatism; and in its pursuit of individual autonomy, it has given rise to the most far-reaching, comprehensive state system in human history.Here, Deneen offers an astringent warning that the centripetal forces now at work on our political culture are not superficial flaws but inherent features of a system whose success is generating its own failure."

---------------------------

Have no clue where this guy is going with this but my brain is intrigued.
