The many interesting things I read in April 2026
So sorry for your loss
Thank you so much 💛
I'm sorry for your loss, Jodi!
Thank you Christina 💚
Dr. Fejzo and her research was featured in an episode of the Unexplainable podcast last year. It was a very interesting topic but was also sad to hear of all the difficulties she had had for securing funding for her research:

It isn't surprising that she couldn't secure funding, but it remains very depressing. Thank you for sharing, I look forward to listening.
So rich Jodi. Fab art too ☀️🧡🧡
It’s so evocative!

There is a strange grief in realizing
you survived versions of yourself
you were certain would last forever.
Not only the young ones.
The strong ones.
The useful ones.
The beautiful ones.
The needed ones.
We speak often about becoming,
but not enough about all the selves
that quietly die
to make room for it.
And sometimes aging is not the tragedy people think it is.
Sometimes it is finally laying down
the performance.
Sometimes it is no longer confusing exhaustion
for virtue.
Sometimes it is learning that tenderness
was never weakness,
only something the frightened mocked
because they did not know how to carry it.
There are years
that hollow a person.
And years
that return them to themselves.
May you find the best of your stepmother within you each day.
The gestures.
The warmth.
The steadiness.
The love that shaped you quietly
in ways time only reveals later.
