I was just wondering if they have some sort of Google doc on their little message boards to make sure folks aren't accidentally scheduling for the same day.

I have the opposite problem. I like her as a person, but won't vote for her in the primary because I don't like her political positions. We can hang out and get froyo though.

That is absolutely abuse. And the scariest time for someone being abused is when they are trying to leave. There aren't enough resources for those with no options outside of going to the shelter. I hope support comes to you sooner than later. All the hugs.

It’s also hard to remember that while we look from the outside and think, duh! Just leave him*!— that it is more black and white for us because we don’t love him. People are complex, and abusers often have great qualities too. Nothing that makes it okay to abuse, but it is hard to convince yourself of that when you…

So many hugs. I hope you get the support you need.

Hugs. You deserved better. 100%

Oof. Another problem with domestic violence awareness like this is folks assume it looks like your face is all bruised and cut up. As one of my clients said, “I preferred the beatings. The bruises heal, but I still can’t get the words out of my head.”

Omg. If separate bathrooms came with all marriages, I hypothesize the divorce rates would plummet.

It is terrible that parents of trans* children have to worry about this happening, that trans* individuals have to be hyper vigilant, and so many keep plugging along claiming this isn’t a problem.

Don't mess with hangry people.

Sending you all the love and hugs. May you have the support and safety to honor your grief.

Cool.

I didn’t say handling it “well.” I said “better.” The bar is low. Very, very low.

So a porn studio does a better job at handling sexual assault than a lot of religious institutions.

My lazy mom clothing is brought to you by C9, but for running, I stick to Nike for my bottoms. I am less picky about the tops.

Buying pants is the worst! My apple is even bigger after four babes, and I cannot find jeans, as my waist is 2-4 sizes bigger than the rest of me.

As an apple shaped gal with killer stems, I would take some cellulite on my thighs to have a more proportional waist.

I got up way too early to go to Barnes and Noble yesterday morning so I could get Gloria Steinem’s signed book. Got it! Then went to Barnes and Noble this evening to see if they had a game we wanted to play with our friends who are in town, and saw that all but the copy I purchased of her book were still there. Khloe…

It is really messed up that anyone involved in stating that a woman has a right overhear own body has to be brave to do so.

Who is running tomorrow? I have upgraded my usual 5k turkey trot to a half marathon and it is going to be the coldest race I’ve ever run. My oldest is also doing the kid’s race, so we have matching race shirts and it is pretty adorable.
