@lisametzgarauthor.bsky.social
Author of literary fiction who always flinches (and tears up) while taking hard, unflinching looks at all of our grief and beauty and hope. Also a blogger at https://substack.com/@lisametzgarauthor. Trying to stay out of all the echo chambers.
Sometimes, for me, this means I don't know yet what it's about, and I have to go forward and then come back later because, by then, I'll know more about where/how/why it is or isn't needed. Either way, it's HARD work.

Merriam Webster definition: "the nearly straight-line configuration of three celestial bodies...in a gravitational system" (www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/s...). It has also been used to refer to, among other things, a union of opposites (en.wikipedia.org/wiki…). 2/3

I love this quote!

For me, it feels worth remembering that all our fragile and incomplete social and political gains (women's rights, LGBTQ+ rights, increases in racial equality) have required persistence across decades and even centuries. Persistence matters.

I love the tie here to standing and how we stand up for rights, for another person, against injustice, against oppression. But, right now, I think that "re" prefix and its implied repetition, persistence, a willingness to stand up again (and again and again and again) is so important. 2/3
