Rest In Peace, Justice Ginsburg. And above all, just rest.
Justice Ginsburg was a powerhouse, and continued working into her late 80s to try to keep the bench as balanced as she could.
No one should go through the pain of late stage metastatic pancreatic cancer, while also knowing that the balance of power in her nation depended on her ability to continue to do her job.
She remains a great hero of my life, and I am appalled, but not at all shocked by the disregard and disrespect shown her loss by the GOP.
If you expected any class or dignity from that administration, you haven’t been paying attention for years.
Let’s all try to remember what Michelle Obama said – “when they go low, we go high”. It’s painful, but we must try to remember and honour RBG’s quiet resolve by refusing to lower ourselves to the level of the muckrakers and fear mongers.
We are grieving, and this classless and outclassed group of people cannot be allowed to bring us down to tha nastiness and name calling for which they are known.
Rest In Peace, Justice Ginsburg. And above all, rest knowing that you have done more than anyone should ever have to.
Originally intended to simply focus on book reviews, over time, KaliDesautelsReads has morphed into its own entity.
I write about issues that are near to my heart, be they political, feminist, motherhood, mental health, or, as the title holds, books.
A thirty-something Canadian woman in my mid-thirties, I have been "super married" to my high school sweetheart since 2006, and together we have two crazy, clever, kind, hilarious, wonderful kids.
My first book - How Not To Blog: Finding Myself, One Post at a Time is available on Amazon (in eBook formats for you clever tech readers, and paperback for those of us who love that new book smell!)
I have tried a podcast - it's still on Apple and Google Podcasts - but writing is where my heart is.
My life changed dramatically when my husband was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer in 2018, and I am now a writer for a leading Canadian Cancer Non-Profit.
I am lucky enough to have a family that loves me and pushes me to be my best, even if it is outside of my cushiony comfort zone. I have a village of friends that nourish me, mentally, and spiritually.
Welcome to my thoughts. Sit down. Stay a while. Enjoy a cup of coffee!
