I discovered The Ice Bear, written and illustrated by Jackie Morris, recently, and this piece — particularly the story of the Inuit woman — put me very much in mind of it again.

Love this! Have you read “Tygress” by Claire Kohda, in “Furies”, the short story collection by Virago? I read it over six months ago and I still think of it often - it’s very powerful and has really stayed with me... 🐅

Something for me to think about...I will be 60 next month and have recently separated. It is definitely an exciting time of reinvention. A few fears too if I'm honest, but all will be well.
