Hi. Texan here. Voted for Beto. Doing what I can to break the Tea Party’s dominance of Texas. You’re welcome.

After 8 years, I am returning home to California. I did my part in very red oil country to advance progressive issues and candidates. I am heartbroken with Betoś loss, but very happy that Colin Allred pulled it off. Itś infuriating that I dońt know a single person who thinks favorably of Ted Cruz, but they will…

It’s worth noting that Harris County has a larger population than 25 states. For all the “buh huh, Texas sucks” people, especially those on the East Coast, imagine that your happy little blue state got squashed together with, like, Kentucky, Tennessee and Indiana, and let me know how think your elections would go?

Ahh I got a little teary reading that. They are literally tiny furnaces!

this radical work of healing the deepest wounds on this earth

I wish that my three children didn’t require surgical intervention to enter the world. The havoc those C sections have wreaked on my back and abs can’t be overstated.

WTF is the point of living in modern times if a person doesn’t avail herself of some of its luxuries, like a freaking pre-natal appointment to a midwife or something? Yet she will chatter on FB about the “primal instinct” that takes over. Guess what? Birthing can be pretty deadly, just look at history. But no, the…

You have did great yesterday, Americans, and don’t let anybody tell you otherwise! You’ve sent a clear message to the racist grifter in the White House, and despite all the unhinged tweets he could write today, he IS worried and felt the blow.

You know what? We worked our fucking asses off to get here. I’m tired of hearing that Texas doesn’t care, or that we’re a write-off red state.  We did something incredible. We’re still doing it now. 

MS Paint.

Oh for fucks sake! Do they have a graphic designer?

We need to start arming parents with the tools to raise children. Doesn’t matter if you are a young parent or an old parent - lots of people just don’t have a fucking clue on what to do when your kid is acting up.

The first really extravagant purchase I remember making, as in, just wantonly tossing money at something I wanted, was when I was around ten or eleven and on a trip with my family. Our parents gave my sister and I a monthly allowance that we deposited in our own checking accounts. The idea was that you could spend…

I spent something like 30 grand on a Master’s degree in engineering that basically turned out to be a vanity project, since after 1.5 years and 150 applications, I can’t find a job using it and am about to give up and just work odd jobs.

Welp, I just dropped some cash at Sephora and made Rouge status. Again. Expensive beauty products are my entirely unnecessary, shameless extravagance. I was an acne-ridden, awkward, frizzy haired teen and then a slightly-less awkward twenty-something who transitioned to frumpy tired mom, and now I just want to feel…

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times......jk, it was the best of times. Early last month I got to visit France for the first time for vacation (with a major reason being to see Versailles in person) and naturally my gay ass needed an appropriate outfit fit for a King (or Queen, I’m definitely a Queen on…

Seems like a lot of people are confusing merely expensive with extravagant. Extravagance implies indulgent and probably unnecessary (or at least more than necessary).

Tickets to see the original Hamilton cast with my best friend. We were in the last row of the theatre. 600 bucks. I regret nothing.

This is Oberon (his show name is Floki) When I was a kid, my parents couldn’t afford to buy me the kind of horses I dreamed of riding. I wanted to jump big fences, and bring home the gold for the good old USA. I stopped riding for years, but when I got old enough to have some disposable income, this is what I splurged…

ok I have two.
