Je Suis Joyless Eye.
Any request, anything anyone wants from me today, my sons, my colleagues, my mother, my dogs, they're gonna get: "Art thou pale for weariness? Well, art thou, you joyless eye?"
'Art Thou Pale For Weariness' is now my go-to for the day

Yes, unease is a good word... I know the day is well-intentioned but, really, virtuous pats on the head are not my kind of thing.
Post-an-Unpopular-Opinion:
I don't want an 'International Women's Day'; I consider it patronising and/or infantilising.
Thanks, Books Ireland, and congratulations to all!

I will be dressed in flowing robes and will be speaking in tongues for a portion of the launch. 🥕🧭

Diamante running hare brooch
In Warwickshire, pulped hares’ brains were given to calm restless new-born infants. It is recorded that in Alscot, up until the 20th C, a party of villagers would visit the lady of the manor to request a hare’s head so that its brains may be used for this purpose.
