Dang, you just made my day. Thank you, sincerely. I have been feeling like every day is a damn battle with my own party. The republicans haven’t even gotten to me yet! 

Some secrets I can never tell :)

Thank you for noting that, my dude! I love my husband and other men who are easily and happily supporting strong women. 

Thank you, I love this!

THANK YOU. And also, please work on my campaign. This is exactly what I am thinking-- and exactly what the established Dems are telling me not to do.

Awww thank you! I know, I so want to “come out” on here, but it’s also a lovely, precious place for me to spout off anonymously. 

Thank you so much. I so appreciate your kind words!

SAME. I am a candidate running for office in the midwest. I love Duckworth. But this mealy-mouthed, tepid, timid approach of other Dem candidates and of Dems in power, are driving me to DRINK. I want to go BOLD! But this free-floating fear is real and believe me when I tell you it is not limited to republican men! The…

Oh Lord, I am “Sarah’s Mom”--come get your pain in the ass kids, I’ve got enough to manage over here.

She also is pretty famous and has a long list of accolades following her name. I have tried to get her help so many times over the years, but she…

I am loving these suggestions, so many I had never heard of! Thanks!

I’ve never heard of jellypop flats, I’ll check them out, thanks!

I keep hearing about Vionic! I will check them out, thank you!

Those are cute! Thank you!

Dansko clogs are just the best. I have a pair that are nearly 20 years old and beat to hell but so comfortable I can’t throw them away.

You are awesome. Thank you for the inspiration!

Exactly! And: please chime in with your favorite brands/exact shoes you wear that look great and save your feet. I would love suggestions on great flats!

Heels piss me off as I’m running for office. A woman or Dem has never, ever held the office I’m currently running for and I will not try to do this whole fucking thing in high heels.
