I bought her most recent book, the one that she was shilling when her Tedtalk went viral last year. <br /><br />This one: http://www.amazon.com/The-Gifts-Imperfection-Supposed-Embrace/dp/159285849X/ref=la_B001JP45BA_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1340649526&sr=1-1<br /><br />I couldn't finish it. It was pablum, the same info as the Tedtalk but drawn out over hours and hours (not as effective). I wanted one thing: practical advice on how to put her ideas into action.<br /><br />There was none of that to be found in the first third of the book.Elysiahttp://fillingcalix.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3576943975143949808.post-83008957590204626642012-05-25T05:54:14.338+01:002012-05-25T05:54:14.338+01:00What a lovely post on Rome!

It surprises me because when we visited UC Berkeley, I was horrified at the injustice within its own community. As an outsider who happens to have worked with the homeless population, I was truly mortified by what seemingly was an act of compliancy and failure to address its own homeless population. My daughter’s friends, students at Berkeley, affectionately referred to these individuals as “Hobo’s”. The “Hobo’s” opening abused their bodies with drugs and some accosted others with verbal and physical violence. I was so moved that I wrote a letter to Robert J. Birgeneau, Chancellor. I mentioned that I was horrified at the “normalization” of this situation and I referred him to an organization/movement called Common Grounds. I am REALLY surprised that she could work amongst such injustice.<br /><br />On another note, I did a search… “Is Judith Butler a Christian?” This was interesting and profound as many other searches popped up asking “Is Judith Butler a Feminist, married, queer, post modernist, Jewish, intersex, for gay marriages, etc…….?”. What this said to me is that she is a remarkable individual that has a gift to speak to many audiences – inspiring thought provoking questions. Her words are truly androgynous – transcending even beyond gender. Thank you, Judith Butler for all your contributions to humanity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3576943975143949808.post-47973049163557306282012-03-29T15:11:52.506+01:002012-03-29T15:11:52.506+01:00Thanks for your comments, Elysia!

I'm a 26 year old woman from England who has been called of God to become a Mama to many Ugandan children. I move to Uganda in January of next year and will be taking in children & loving them, just like Katie. I wondered if you might perhaps be interested in my blog.
