A friend sent me this from Facebook: most people would express it as: 'I'm happy that our president has been elected for another term.' What I love about Z Budapest is that she is capable of expressing it in terms of the nationalization of our lady parts!
I thought her Bobby went through what she wrote & turned it into English before it was published? And surely a second-wave feminist should reject such demeaning phrases as 'lady', unless she's reclaiming the word?

Do you see the cobbles on the streets? Everywhere you look, stone & rock. Can you imagine what it feels like to reach down with your bones & feel the living stones? The city is built on itself, all the cities that came before. Can you imagine how it feels to lie down on an ancient flagstone & feel the power of the rock buoying you up against the tug of the world? And that's where witchcraft begins. The stones have life, & I'm part of it. - adapted from Terry Pratchett
