Nüshu
(literally “women’s writing” in Chinese) is a syllabic script created
and used exclusively by women in the Jiangyong County in Hunan province
of southern China. Up until the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) women were
forbidden access to formal education, and so Nüshu was developed in
secrecy as a means to communicate. Since its discovery in 1982, Nüshu
remains to be the only gender-specific writing system in the world.
“Woman” By Audre Lorde
The most exquisite paradox… as soon as you give it all up, you can have it all. As long as you want power, you can’t have it. The minute you don’t want power, you’ll have more than you ever dreamed possible.

Seek to be worth knowing rather than well-known.
Located in the Andes Mountains, in Spanish it’s called llareta, and it’s a member of the Apiaceae
family, which makes it a cousin to parsley, carrots and fennel. But
being a desert plant, high up in Chile’s extraordinarily dry Atacama, it
grows very, very slowly — a little over a centimeter a year.
