“She climbs the grey steps of the Museum, walks past the ticket-takers, hurries up the stairs to the Hall of Vertebrate Evolution, tracing again her daily path: the human skull, the saber-toothed cat in its tar pit, the illuminated scenes of undersea life, with their hungry mosasaurs and doomed ammonites. The door that leads to her office is reached through this portion of the ancient sea floor.”
Life Before Man (1979)

"Non amo che si usi la parola tela. Se il sudario fosse stato una tela, io sarei stata un ragno, ma il mio scopo non era catturare gli uomini come fossero mosche, al contrario, non volevo farmi catturare". #28esimolibrodellanno #bookchallenge #margaretatwood #penelope #reading #bookaholic #instabooks #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CkQ--vor-eO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

i recall how difficult it was to go against the grain of my cultural beliefs… how scary & how wrong it felt… how bad it made me feel at times, but i choose me out of love, & calmness… to what feels right for my life & how i need to give space for those that choose differently than me… to walk away & know that they will find their peace & do what is best for them… at times one thinks one knows what is best for others, but i do not walk in their shoes… all i have ever asked is to let me walk in my own shoes… let me find my own balance my will & my well being… not forced that is never good for no one…. SSR - journal entries. grateful for @juliabeyer ‘s generosity, gifting me a guest spot for this month’s @the12.12project theme “Through the Looking Glass” my mind sees through the historical looking glass & cannot help, but to sound the alarms about women’s bodies who are still fighting for autonomy & agency - to give women the freedoms they rightfully deserve… choice does not equal no births will ever happen, but choice means the freedom to decide… i do not understand - why force, why shackle, why chain? have we not learned from our historical mistakes? must we continue to see women as property & treat them as if they are children? remove their freedoms to live in fear is “un - choice” is it really the only choice? “the control of women & babies has been a feature of every repressive regime in the planet. napoleón, and his “canon fodder” slavery & its ever renewed human merchandise——they both fit in here. of those promoting enforced childbirth, it should be asked: cui bono? who profits from it? sometimes the sector, sometimes that. never no one.” Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Feb, 2017 #womensrights #roeVwade #humanrights #respecthersex #sx70 #polaroid #analogfilm #analogphotography #analog #filmphotography #polaroidoftheday #rbg #ruthbaderginsburg #margaretatwood #handmaidstale #handmaid (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfFcxYivtj-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Last week I wrote a post that included the words “I liked the Handsmaid’s Tale as a fictional book. But perhaps Margaret Atwood was onto something. Because her writing and themes that lead up to the establishment of Gilead sound similar to today’s headlines”. 2 days ago Atwood wrote this for the Atlantic. Be warned. First it will be women’s rights. The next it will be an attempt to overturn any progress made around equal rights for every single marginalised community group we have made strides to change things for. #roevswade #margaretatwood #theatlantic #thehandmaidstale #podcasthost #cults #equalrightsforall #womensrights #womensrightsarehumanrights https://www.instagram.com/p/CdkuiFoIphp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Chicago in November
Come see us in Chicago this November for the Midwest Modern Language Association convention!
If you're interested in presenting, abstracts will be accepted until March 13. To complement the convention's theme “Health in/of the Humanities," this year's Atwood Society panel is called "Exploring Physical and Mental Health Topics in the Works of Margaret Atwood."
MMLA is a great convention for grad students and others who haven't presented much at academic conferences-- it's very friendly and fun!

Deities of South American Mythology discuss Brave New World (Aldous Huxley)
We see an Aztec deity, Quetzalcoatl, pouring tea from the teapot into a cup. On the table are plates filled with delicious cakes.
QUETZALCOATL: (smiling) Today we are discussing a book that has challenged every aspect of our existence. Brave New World.
All the deities take a sip of their tea and grab a piece of cake as they settle back in their chairs, ready for a lively discussion.
PACHAMAMA:…
