Why?

Thanks for all the suggestions so far. I just bought this feminist women of color authors tank from Philadelphia Printworks, an apparel company founded and owned by women of color whose mission is to encourage a culture of activism and inclusion. But keep posting please, because I would love to know about more shops…

Hey everyone! This is somewhat unrelated but I wanted to post on a fresh article so this would be seen. Plz take me out of the greys. I’m wondering if any of you have suggestions on a shop I can support, preferably owned by a woman or women of color, an immigrant, or an LGBT person of color. I’m specifically looking…

The absolute most dangerous, lethal time for a person in a DV situation is when they attempt to leave. That’s when they are most likely to get killed. If they have no money, and nowhere to go, and especially if they have kids, staying in the relationship for the time being CAN be the safest and smartest decision for…

This is late cause I’m just reading through all these, but I feel you. Lying comes super easily to me and I don’t really feel guilty about it. I had a fine childhood and consider myself to be a good person - I don’t ever lie about big, potentially damaging things - but I tell little white lies all the time. Makes life…

This has happened to me, unfortunately, multiple times. For me it’s because I have scoliosis and the way my spine is curved puts pressure on my lower back muscles which occasionally causes them to tweak pretty horribly. There’s not much I can do besides just try and stay healthy/active so that my muscles are strong…

Happy almost birthday!!

Oh no! Are you doing better now?!

That’s so funny because career is the ONE thing I really have figured out. I got my Masters in an area that I love and I actually really, really enjoy my job. The rest is figuring out where and with whom I want to spend the rest of my time outside of work!

I turned 26 two days ago! I know I’m still so young, but I consider it my last year of my “mid-20s” and started freaking a little bit about my future (do I want to live in this city forever? Do I want to get married? Have kids? Ask the guy I’ve been sleeping with for the past five months if he eventually wants…

I’m a she :-)

RAISE YA HAND IF YOU’RE A WOMAN WHO HAS BEEN INTERRUPTED BY A MAN WITH CONFIDENCE DISPROPORTIONAL TO HIS INTELLIGENCE

Yep, I was going to mention them also.

I totally get what you’re saying and actually almost didn’t post this because I was thinking about this exact sentiment. However I work in a state governmental agency and have to deal with Republicans allll the time. Some are good-intentioned but somewhat inept or easily influenced, which is kinda how I feel about…

What a non-story. GWB is a fucking dolt, but it’s been clear for some time that the Bushes and Obamas have genuine respect and affection for each other. Personally I find it encouraging that powerful people on clearly opposite sides of the aisle can still have this sort of relationship. Maybe someday we’ll actually be…

The website’s Scoreboard is working but I still can’t see the quick or full box score.

It’s a domestic abuse services center that serves the county I live in... if you google domestic abuse + your county or city I bet you would find something! I had to go through a fairly lengthy process.. fill out a volunteer application, have an interview, provide three references to whom they send a form to fill out…

Plz see my reply to Adrastra!

Thank you for your service as well!! I got my sweet lil kitty from a pet rescue and I sooo appreciate everything no-kill shelters do :-)

I actually have not made tomato soup yet this year because I made salsa and pasta sauce with my tomatoes thus far. Tonight I’m making this one: http://happyhooligans.ca/best-homemade-…
