2018 Holiday Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 7

So kind of a weird story today. In fact, it’s not even really a story, but I felt like I had somewhat insightful comments on it nonetheless.
It’s been awhile since I’ve really LOVED a short story collection, but I can finally say that The Dead Husband Project by Sarah Meehan Sirk is definitely one of the best I’ve read in a long time. Each piece in this collection is strong and emotionally affecting, but there are a few that really stood…
I’m tight on time these days (isn’t everyone at this time of year?) so I’m squeaking in these videos right at the tail end of my toddler’s nap.

A well thought out experiment and an interesting way of children dealing with potential abuse (the abstract was quite telling). So many short stories with footnotes (I did like the inclusion of the Appendix, though)! I will never look at fly swatting the same way again.
haha me too!
Sounds… hmm, I’m trying so hard to find a polite synonym for awful… But I do love the idea of the Circle of Neglect!! 😂
hahah yes it’s got a particular ring to it, doesn’t it?
