I am 64- This is my current Facebook status: I was the third person in my district to vote this morning. My hand shook and my heart pounded when I filled in the oval for the Clinton Kaine electors. My vote is for me, and it’s for my country. But even more than that, my vote is for my four granddaughters, and for my…

My grandmother is an 89-year-old, black woman. She doesn’t leave the house much anymore because she’s sick a lot but she got up to vote for Obama and she’s up today to vote for Hillary. It’s a blessing to be able to watch her experience such progress.

When we learn about Emmett Till, and then Medgar Evers, we talk about recent murders in the USA, and there are always recent murders. We talk about the black lives matter movement and how it is rooted in the civil rights moment and how that arose from life after slavery was abolished.

I will preface this with the fact that unnatural movements freak me out. A lot.

That I was lactating because of a brain growth and that I was not, in fact, pregnant at 15. I know lactation isn’t actually gross but it is when you’re a 15 year old virgin.

When I was in high school I tried to get a job at Hot Topic. (Back when it was goth-knock off, not whatever it is today, ‘k?) Within minutes of starting the interview I knew there was no way I was going to get hired. They made me “audition” with two guys competing for same job. The guy interviewing me was as giant…

He was just being nice! So she was nice back! A BARRAGE OF NICENESS!!! Schlongs censored (in…

the woman literally emailed me right after the story went up to say “i’m glad you told that commenter to fuck off”

I think the headline is intended to draw people in with a ‘wow’ response only to find out that it’s a sad, sad story about someone’s struggle. I’m not judging and I misspoke by saying I was ‘horrified’ - I meant I was surprised by it because it’s unusual to have an abortion that late - I seriously am not judging - I…

Straight, white lady privilege talk.

My not so little guy had to stay in the nursery for the first 12 hours because I was in bad shape. My husband was back and forth between us. He saw a nurse bringing in another baby and remarked how small it was. The nurse patted his arm and told him “No, dear, this is a newborn. You had a 3 month old.”

Thank you so much for this, Sarah.
