I've been organizing a writer's retreat since 2018 and this was our first year back since the pandemic. Here's a video of what a house full of writers (at work) looks like. 😁

I am all admiration at your persistence in continuing to read this biography, because wow, that author is truly odious! I can only imagine that since all the women being described are dead his editor thought it didn’t matter how rude and supercilious the author was in describing them, but good heavens, did no one ever consider that it might matter to the readers?

At this point, I'm more hate-reading/-skimming than anything. There has been some potentially interesting information here and there. For instance, I'd like to know more about Princess Alice's work with nursing and other causes.

I am indeed very surprised that a book published in 1998, which wasn't so very long ago, was permitted to take such an unprofessional, unscholarly tone. This is a biography that would be of particular interest to female readers; why was it necessary to treat its female subjects with such disdain? It goes beyond merely acknowledging character flaws to attacking them, often in ways that are specific to their femininity. The digs at appearance. Use of terms like "hysterical," "hormonal," "emotional" in connection with powerful women. The biographer often shows more sympathy for or lenience to the husbands, fathers, and sons--not that they don't deserve it, but there seems to be a double standard. A historian ought to have more integrity than that.

If anything, what I am getting out of this text is a lesson in how we as a society evaluate women. These were living, breathing individuals. They had emotions and interests and dreams and loved ones and opinions and joys and struggles. As royal women, these princesses in many ways had a very experience of the world than most people, but they were still human. I was hoping for a glimpse into their life experience, a chance to walk in their shoes for a little while. Most of what I'm getting is this one random man's disdain for looks and personalities that he finds unappealing. These women were judged severely in their own day, often by their own family members. They had little, if any, control over their own lives and circumstances. Can we not offer their memory the understanding they were often denied? Can we not extend the basic sympathy we might wish for ourselves if we had the misfortune to be born into such public lives?

The book in question is Victoria's Daughters by Jerrold M. Packard. The Goodreads reviews indicate I'm not the only one who was unimpressed.

I am rereading the No Ordinary Fairy Tale series by @rj-anderson, and I am just astonished and grateful for how skillfully and eloquently the author discusses faith in Rebel. The fairy cosmology beautifully incorporates the Christian faith and ideals, and the story manages to have a character finding their faith again without it feeling preachy. R.J. is a skilled writer, and I am loving these books.

White Bird Trailer

Julian Albans, recently expelled from Beecher Prep for his treatment of another student, is visited by his Grandmére from Paris. Grandmére tells him of her childhood growing up in Nazi-occupied France and the schoolmate who risked everything to help her survive and how compassion, courage, and empathy can make all the difference in the world.

Lionsgate’s White Bird is based on the the novel White Bird: A Wonder Story by R.J. Palacio. The film stars Helen Mirren, Gillian Anderson, Bryce Gheisar, Ariella Glaser, and Orlando Schwerdt. Marc Forster directs.

White Bird releases to theaters on August 25, 2023.

San Diego supercross was great btw Tomac won which kind of-of course at this point I mean I was never a Tomac fan but watching the guy stamp himself definitely as one of the greatest the sport has ever seen at age 30 when the guys who’s records he is breaking had been retired for years by the time they were his age. I dunno, my point is the guy is just damned impressive and so is Jett Lawrence I mean we all want to see other people win but this is so much like when Carmichael was winning everything in 250 and Stewart was winning everything in the 125 in the early 2000’s which I think is pretty cool. Just two dominating talents in the sport. I’m glad to get to witness it and I really hope Eli races outdoors or another year of supercross or maybe in the SMX to race Jett when he moves up to 450 I really think that would be epic. I mean Jett already beat Sexton on a 450 at MXoN last year so like, Jett might just be the guy soon as he gets on a 450, so watching him try to take down Eli would just be epic imo. Sexton and Malcolm both just can’t keep their fucking bikes off the ground, Anderson, idk, under preforming. Webb needs to put up a stiffer fight. Roczen and Barcia solid rides. If McAdoo or Hampshire can start in front of Jett at any point this year we’ll see if they can put up a fight with him, but so far Jett has led every lap of both 250 mains this year, he really could sweep the season at this point.

Dupla completamente nueva para GMC Hummer Chip Ganassi Racing en la Extreme E: Amanda Sorensen y RJ Anderson serán los pilotos en 2023

El equipo GMC Hummer EV Chip Ganassi Racing tendrá una renovada alineación de pilotos para 2023, después de conseguir un cuarto puesto en 2022 con Sara Price y Kyle LeDuc. Este año, contaremos con dos pilotos nuevos en la escudería estadounidense con Amanda Sorensen y RJ Anderson conformando el nuevo equipo.

Amanda Sorensen tiene 20 años y hará su debut absoluto en la Extreme E dentro de dos semanas en Arabia Saudita. La oriunda de Las Vegas tiene experiencia en off-road y en el drifting. Con solo 16 años en 2019, consiguió convertirse en la piloto más joven en debutar en Fórmula Drift y el mismo año consiguió el título del  Lucas Oil UTV Championship.

RJ Anderson ya tuvo algo de experiencia en la Extreme E cuando fue llamado a reemplazar a Kyle LeDuc en el Energy X-Prix de Uruguay, la fecha final de 2022. Junto a Price lograron sostener la cuarta posición del campeonato para Ganassi y la audición parece haber sido buena ya que el estadounidense de 30 años ha conseguido el papel a tiempo completo. Anderson tiene mucha experiencia en el off-road con dos victorias en la Baja 1000 y casi 150 podios conseguidos en diferentes carreras todo-terreno.

La acción de la Extreme E comenzará en Arabia Saudita para el Desert X-Prix en Neom el próximo 11 y 12 de marzo.
