Glorious life I lead
I read somewhere to use socks as packing insulatiob for glass and mugs. Finally, I get some use of the bag of single socks that have been growing in my closet. Also, I stopped by the wine monopoly for some free wine boxes to put books in. I look like such a lush, but…
Quotation Monday #155: Feminism
Then an academic, a Nigerian woman, told me that feminism was not our culture, that feminism was un-African, and I was only calling myself a feminist because I had been influenced by Western books.
