I bought McDonalds today and backed it up with some cans of Alpha-ghetti (for the devastated 3rd grader inside of me) and a bag of chocolate chips.

I’m doubling my contributions to Planned Parenthood and starting contributions to Pro Publica. Women’s health and independent journalism are two things that will also need support.

I feel like I keep going back and forth between the stages. I’m in a master of public health program, and I’m focusing on sexual health, so eventually, I’ll be deep in the fight for reproductive health and LGBT rights, among other things.
