“I said it’s time for people to unmute their strong feelings or horror or anger fundamental causes. Evils like those to do with racism, not one race, that’s a label, don’t like it but it’s a label. Racism is evil. And treating women like ‘things’ to be relied upon, or often just used and discarded, or cruelly raped and murdered. Unmute. That’s what we must do!” EvilSocietyRacismRapeUnmute Book:Bloomer Source: Bloomer
“Maggie perked up on hearing the word “aged”. “There. That’s a reasonable word ‘Geriatric’ drives me crazy, and ‘elderly’ is so loosely and rudely, it seems to be. ‘Aged’ is just a technical term. Anyway – ‘Boomer’ Is the cutest.” ElderlyAgedGeriatric Book:Bloomer Source: Bloomer
“I’m actually an old woman, no more arsing around with faking youth. The world could see my wrinkles and dodder a while back. I’m only a spring chicken inside my deluded brain. On the outside, I’m a chicken-neck. Not a chick anymore. Just an old bird.” ElderlyAgedBloomer Book:Bloomer Source: Bloomer
“Old folks’ kind of night. Hello, the wee hours. And that refers to the loo, too. The wee hours and the wonky bladders. Like a newborn.” ElderlyBloomerWee Book:Bloomer Source: Bloomer
“Maggie was surprised to find her heart flipping. At 70 you think that’s all over. You’re too creaky, too selfish, too afraid of infirmity, too focused on staving off dependency, too focused on your unreliable knees and your wobbles on the stairs. Too farty.” Elderly70Bloomer Book:Bloomer Source: Bloomer
“Maggie got straight to the point. What about calling themselves Bloomers? It was the poppies on her leggings that had grabbed her heart. Blooming is aspirational. If we’re going with branding, let’s get blooming!” FlowersBloomingBloomPoppiesLeggings Book:Bloomer Source: Bloomer
