That. God, I wish people were more interested in putting stuff out in the world that they wanted to take responsibility for. Everyone sucks the first time they do something.

Really.

I am so unfair. You’re right, I did not immediately run out and buy her book.

I never said the co-writer changed the content of the memoir.

Listen, I grasp that writing is a craft.

You know what? We should pick on them too.

It needs to stay stifled.

The best thing I give my kids is a sketchbook. I love looking at the things they draw and when you give them something bound like that and write their name on the front they really go to town. And you can add the year and store the ones you love the most. Instead of a stack of random projects from school, I get…

We should not help the GOP discredit women.

YES.

Yes, I think that is a really major flaw in how these things are proceeding. This is so ubiquitous and so normal and I think there’s this desire to do something just to relieve the tension created by all these stories. And that desire is misplaced, I think. We could probably get Al Franken to resign, but that doesn’t…

The #metoo movement needs to push for better systems for victims.

It is actually a huge problem. I follow a few rescues on Facebook and it’s been getting worse. I mean, we know there are way too many dogs and you can’t ship puppies interstate for under $1. We got our last two from the humane society. They were juveniles and the guy who turned them in also turned in a chick waterer…

Oh chickens. They make me so happy. We’ve had a flock for 8 years, with some turnover. And we did lose one to a raccoon the first year. It’s hard! I still feel guilty about that. We take them to the vet and try to do right by our girls. They are firmly in the chicken 1%.

I just want to say that we can hold people accountable and we should, but I’m seeing people calling for his resignation.
