...and I am who I am at any weight

I don’t know you, but I’m willing to bet you are being a little hard on yourself. We microfocus on our flaws. I’m almost 50 and notice the sagging jaw line, the laugh lines, the forehead wrinkles, the crepey veiny hands. Fuck it. I’m almost 50. When I’m 90 I’ll look back and think I looked pretty damn good.

I am not aging well at all and it does kind of hurt to not recognize yourself anymore. Carrie Fisher’s attitude and intelligence about the process has helped me so much. Whenever I see the tired, old lady looking back at me in the mirror, I’ll remind myself of this quote and get the fuck over it.

I came here to post this. I am in my 40s, and people my age get very upset about aging and think that it is a huge accomplishment if something thinks that they are younger than they are. Apparently, NO ONE looks 40, because we all look 32. I love her quote that youth and beauty are not accomplishments and I use it…

Husbands/male partners don’t stick around for the bad parts or do it well all that often. So you’re just as likely to be screwed if the women in your life think your husband is taking care of you as if the people in your life know they need to step up to the plate. In any case, they’re also less likely to be alive-…

I do NOT. repeat: do NOT. see the appeal. Can someone explain? I don’t want him inside of me, I don’t want to be inside of him... I don’t get it. He’s so gross. Someone? Anyone?

So we’re just going with the rebranded “wolfpack” bullshit after years of them calling themselves “Pussy Posse”? No. Just call them what they actually are at this point, skeezy middle-aged creeps.

I love you and your family loves you Carrie! Sending good vibes and well wishes.

If you ever want to mistrust all statements of “stable condition” ask an ER doc what that means.

I always loved her roast of George Lucas.

I love the way she always made every interview about her dog. Get well, Carrie.

I know, bad shit happens every year. But 2016 just especially feels like it’s The Grinch, taking away our celebrities and our hope for shits and giggles.

I think I have a gay sensibility and I feel like I’m gay, because I’ve always transcended gender, and I’ve always seen love as transcending gender...I have a gay sensibility.

I was super pissed at the New York Times’s headline which basically said “here are possibilities of what he meant by his tweet.” WTF? You’re just guessing on what our next “president” meant about nuclear proliferation?! How about you write about how irresponsible it is to talk to the world through freakin’ twitter! I…

This is off topic but the Social Security changes really worry me. My children all receive Social Security Survivor Benefits (my husband passed away). We depend on that money to replace his income. It’s been a huge part of why I’ve continued to be able to give my kids some stability and keep them in the same school…

Right. I sort of don’t like casting Trump supporters as naive. You had to be willfully ignorant to not get the agenda Trump and Co. were pushing. You had to cling to your stupidity with tenacity, basically putting your hands over your ears and screaming “nah nah nah, I can’t hear you” while the rest of us desperately…

Hell, PENCE would have told them. Pence never hid his anti-abortion views in the slightest. Hell, it was a point of pride for him. The only way you could not realize any of this is if you never, ever paid attention.

“I guess I’ve been living in a bubble. [Pence] sounds like a tyrant, they remarked.”
