Note to self

Note to self: must blog more and find solid purpose for this writing space. I think that’s primarily why I’ve left it alone lately — not sure what writing is appropriate here. Casually thinking of making my other “feminist” blog private (I don’t really use it anymore). That way I could use the space titled “ecriturefemme” for personal writing or scholarly thinking that I’m not ready to go public with yet. For now, on eeink, I may just pull a Juliana Spahr and list things I’m reading lately, along with a few brief random comments. It’s quick; it’s easy; and, it has a nice little purpose all of its own. At the moment though — the migraine pounding in my head deters me from listing all that I’ve been reading lately. It’s a persistent migraine and my current reading list would be too long anyway. Lots about trauma, torture, and prisons. Focused on trauma with a fair amount of intensity lately, but am not entirely sure I like where this work has been taking me. It’s work that needs to be done; it’s important — politically and in the interest of human rights, which is where I’d like to go (maybe) — but it’s emotionally draining and I’m just not sure I want this field of study to define my career. We’ll see. This line of thought requires more meditation before any definitive decisions can be made. But, for now, expect random blog musings on trauma. Perhaps. Most likely. Probably. Sometime.
