I’m from Connecticut and although I’ve been living in Massachusetts for close to 20 years, I still occasionally pronounce local areas incorrectly, according to my in-laws.  Yes, I will pronounce the “olk” in “Suffolk” much to their chagrin (instead of the “Suffic” they use).  But even I wouldn’t mispronounce…

One of the only things that has me excited about this election is voting for Markey, against JKIII. Markey gave the best speech at the 2017 women’s march in Boston and has always been one of the least appreciated MA politicians. If you’re from MA, vote tomorrow in person if you haven’t dropped your ballot off already!!

Come to Daddy...

Is Queen Latifah really a queen?

I’ve been to the DeVos’ “entertaining condo” in Grand Rapids, a luxury, two story PH owned just for throwing parties (I was naive enough at first to think it was their son’s actual home). The Libertarian adopted “Don’t Tread on Me” flag flies off the balcony, and I wondered, “how could anyone, ever, possibly trample…

Not this, doe.

HELL FUCKING YEAH

the opportunity to choose something more outside the red-and-blue party system

It’s very unpleasant to be in the same room as a man who won’t stop talking about how beautiful a 16-year-old is.

Still more interested in Emery Meeks, pls.

Yes to all of this. I saw her on the first night in Chicago and though I’ve seen her - and been moved by her -before , this tour felt different. Maybe it was because it started raining in the middle of the show which made her have to change choreo and wipe makeup out of her eyes as she sang, but it felt so very…

Thanks to universal health care in Canada, however, the goose is fine. The Eagle, on the other hand, is a low-wage-earning diabetic that can’t get time off from work when her kids are sick. So, you know, call it a tie.

Ah yes, let’s make snarky comments about a super talented young musician for getting inspired by something we might not understand.

People get embarrassed by earnestness. I loved this video because they all shared the earnestness of being creative in a field they loved.

Dude, Kind Bars are delicious. The sea salt chocolate almond one and the salted caramel one are the bomb. I usually only eat half of one at a time, because depending on your meal calories, they can be a bit too high-calorie for a snack, but they taste amazing.

I was a single mom for about three years. I’ve had a hard life, but those were the hardest years I’ve ever had. Harder than my poverty/abusive childhood, harder than working my way through college, harder than the abusive marriage. I don't think there's any way for people who haven't done it to realize the amount of…

My mom raised my high school aged sister and preschool/elementary aged me on around 20k a year by herself, and never openly complained once. She lost her house (after the divorce), and still somehow hid the fact that we were poor from us. She had no time for bullshit, and was a firece mama bear (still is). I will…

I appreciated this when I saw it shared this weekend. Single working mom of 3 - my husband died 3 years ago so there’s no dad to take the kids on weekends or to pick up the slack. It’s incredibly hard and sometimes I just am desperate for someone - anyone - to actually understand. There’s no fix or real help that…

Feel you, grrrrl.

Sending you lots of positive vibes and wishes for good health!
