Nothing about this year’s theme was geared towards the male gaze. Not that it stopped some attendees...

And for what it’s worth a friend of mine is a (liberal feminist) pastor in KC and in response to this her congregation is going to take in more troops. And buy more cookies.

There’s still time!

As the mother of an asthmatic I would like him to feel what my kid does. I’m happy to help with that.

Two time reigning queen of the Met Gala, everyone else should just pack it up & go home.

They needed to bring the (nutty super right wing) freedom caucus on board to get it out of the house. This one is equally (more?) shitty. Call your reps it’s expected to come to a vote this week.

Go interesting Niki (not naked)!

She was my first thought for who could really do this justice. Second was Cate Blanchett, though then I realized Solange could be epic.

Yawn.

Trump has finally pushed my “I’m not an activist” husband into a marching in the streets, constant political posting, having political conversations with coworkers guy.

I am preemptively annoyed with what 99% of people will be wearing tonight. They barely get the theme in an easy year and CdG is some next level difficulty. That said I really hope Solange goes BIG.

Let them figure it out. It might take a bit but they’ll find a way to live together.

Mine have done this a dozen times. It’s gotten to the point where the moms in our condo complex have an understanding where all kids are lectured by everyone when they do not respond and other kids are dispatched to find the missing in their “hiding places”.

I have adolescent boys and they LOVE Austin Powers, we finally started sending them to our dentist and not the fancy pediatric one because it was just easier. If they had your kid’s dentist there may have been protest.

Congrats! I eloped and it was one of the best decisions ever. 15 years later absolutely no regrets.

Praying for you & your little girl. I can’t imagine what you’re going through. Much love from an internet stranger.

Ours was the largest march I’ve ever seen in our small admittedly scientist heavy small city. Even my husband came out for his first ever protest.

“Finally, I do get why 20 weeks looks reasonable on paper but at the end of the day, making a law about what a woman can or cannot do with herself means there will always be a belief that in some way, women’s bodies can be governed and controlled. That makes women less autonomous than men, that makes women less free…
