Indeed. Learn from life.

Dystopian authors aren't oracles, they are satirists.

Wow 😮 I did NOT know that.

Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald was never just “Scott’s wife.” She was the story and he stole it.
Before she met F. Scott Fitzgerald, Zelda was already infamous across Montgomery. She
smoked in public, raced cars, swam in flesh-colored swimsuits, and laughed too loud for polite
society. At 18, she was everything women weren’t supposed to be — confident, rebellious, alive.
When Scott fell for her, she became his obsession. When he couldn’t afford her, he vowed to
write his way into her world. And when fame arrived, he didn’t bring her with him he took her
words instead.
From her diaries and letters, he lifted entire passages, publishing them in This Side of Paradise
and The Beautiful and Damned. Critics praised his “female insight.” He never corrected them.
When Zelda protested, he dismissed her. When she wrote her own novel, Save Me the Waltz,
he tried to stop it. When she painted and danced, he mocked her ambition as madness.
The diagnosis of “schizophrenia” silenced her more effectively than his edits ever could. She
spent years in hospitals while he turned her breakdowns into art, her pain into plotlines. He died
young, celebrated. She died locked in a burning asylum, remembered only as his “crazy wife.”
But Zelda was not madness and she was genius misnamed. Her art, her letters, her only novel
still hum with raw, fearless humanity.
Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald wasn’t destroyed by her fire. She was the fire and it terrified the men
who built cages out of compliments.
Say her name. Read her book. Remember her not as a muse, but as a mirror that reflected too
much truth for her time.

Now there’s a plan. 👍🏼
Let me know.
I’ve probably got loads of them.
P.S. I know we’re not USA. But I definitely don’t want us to become so.

Now this is parenting. And you get the real benefit of having a conversation with your kid.

Indeed. Nieces and nephew too. Hint hint.

Pulitzer‑winning journalist‑turned‑novelist Anna Quindlen became only the third woman to earn the Pulitzer for Commentary in 1992; since then, the author of 2024’s bestseller 𝘈𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘈𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘦 has swapped op‑eds for acclaimed fiction, rallied 50,000 volunteers as World Book Night U.S.’s inaugural honorary chair to give away a million free books, and distilled her reading creed in 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘥 𝘔𝘺 𝘓𝘪𝘧𝘦—proving every page can be its own super‑power.
