Persistence

(This blog is sort of on pause while I try to chart my future plans, but I will post an occasional note whenever I'm moved to do so.)

When the phrase "nevertheless, she persisted" first started turning up in my online news feeds, I thought, "yes, that's the thing." To me, it didn't seem like a political statement. That's the only way I ever get anything done - persistence.

Then I read the context farther down in the news stories, and the message became even more important.

So I had to buy the t-shirt. I had to search for it on Amazon, too, because it's not available in stores, at least not around here. Are retailers and shoppers so easily intimidated that they shy away from wearing or carrying even such a mild statement?
