Productivio Non Generatiua (Productive, not Reproductive) by Katrin Moye

Mottoes To Celebrate Aging

Katrin Moye reflects on the origins of mottoes, noting that all must have been invented at some point, and decided to contribute her own to the tradition by focusing on the positive aspects of being an aging, menopausal woman. To give these mottoes an air of timelessness, some were Google-translated into Latin, adding a sense of historical weight. Katrin humorously observes that, as she learned during the Boris Johnson era, almost anything sounds impressive when translated into Latin.
