Shaming is a really powerful weapon. Using shame to shut people up is problematic.

• What are you currently reading?
Menage, by Alix Kates Shulman. I do not like any of these people even a little bit. And it doesn't help that the couple, who can afford a beautiful solar-powered house on a mountain and a stay-at-home mom and "Francoise, who helped with the children" and "Carmela, the thrice-weekly cleaner" and "sufficient capital to enable him to buy up newly distressed properties at a small percentage of their original market value" describe their financial state as, "He had only to hang on until the market rebounded to become a wealthy man." You are already a wealthy man. Moron.
• What did you recently finish reading?
The Language of Flowers, by Vanessa Diffenbaugh. I also went to book group! This is a good book group book. Lots to discuss. It is about failures of mothering. Lots of melodrama, including a literal madwoman in a literal attic.
• What do you think you’ll read next?
I just got Rebecca Solnit's Wanderlust: A history of walking from the library.
