Because I don’t think it’s fair the way our country has treated the African-American community, ever. I want everyone to have a fair shake at having a good life. I could give you more reasons, but I think this last one will sum it up best: Because I’m not a total asshole; total assholes see they way one group has…

I have never thought of that - I smell just about every other product before I uy them. I will start smelling them from now on. Thanks!

I wear contacts, have allergies, and super sensitive eyes. So, they are watering constantly. No matter what kind of mascara I use, it smudges. DiorShow BlackOut waterproof didn’t just smudge, it basically got all over the eye area of my face. Is there any seriously smudge-proof, waterproof mascara that is really,…

I have whiskey nose, too. And if I don’t use Finacea at least every other day I get bumps on the sides of my face and forehead. It also helps when I get a super painful stress zit.

Yes! I learned about the March on FB, and I assume a lot of people also did. Or through Twitter, etc. So, they need to start cross-posting - these are all the organizations represented at the march, and here are their social media pages or whatever. There are tons and tons of people subscribed to the various…

I agree. What’s next? Have the organizers of other movements got in touch with the organizers of the march, because they now have lists of people who are following their FB page who may not have been aware of what was going on elsewhere. Or, have the women’s march organizers gotten in touch with other groups…

I don’t know - I sure hope it isn’t a common sentiment. And I know I shouldn’t let it get to me; I think just seeing those types of comments come up after an event that seemed unifying seemed unhelpful. Maybe it’s the tone of it. I’m super sensitive to tone - thanks mom! I’m really tired of the Left turning on…

I saw some things on FB yesterday and this morning, basically excoriating white women regarding the march. Just a lot of stuff like, “Oooh, so Becky came to march for ‘women,’ but she just means white women.” One was someone’s post to FB, that said something along the lines that by showing up, white women were just…

Thank you! Things like this are really needed.

Chicago was super diverse, too. I was nowhere near the stage, so I’m not sure who all the speakers were, but I know that a Congresswoman from the south suburbs who is a WOC spoke. And out newly-elected state Comptroller also spoke - she is Latina. There were chants supporting reproductive choice,…

I honestly don’t know how to be an ally. I show support, then get told to listen. I listen then ask how I can help, and I get told to figure it out myself. I support BLM, but I get the impression as a white woman they don’t want me there. So, I am just quietly supporting them. I thought the march on Saturday was a…

Marched in Chicago - it was a beautiful day. On the way there the trains were packed and people were talking to each other. Because there were 5 times the amount of people here than they expected, - they expected 50,000 and the crowd was estimated to be 250,000 - the March didn’t go off as expected, but we took over…

We marched for those marginalized voices. Supply-side Jesus.

What the sweet fuck?

I was an anxious child - born in the mid-70s - who grew up with the Soviet Union as our enemies. There were movies - War Games and Red Dawn were two of my favorites - that drove that idea home. And made me even more anxious. Nuclear war, the AIDS epidemic, Reagan...all those things made me nervous that my safe…

My 300 miligrams of Wellbutrin is losing the fight to keep me nicotine free

I’m marching in Chicago with Chicago NOW

My mom was in the “intelligent but uninformed” camp for a long time. Then, when Obama ran in 2008 she started paying attention. All of her racist co-workers were being awful about him, but I knew a lot of people who had worked with him in the Illinois legislature, so she knew what they were saying was straight up…

And also if the placenta isn’t completely expelled after a live birth.

There are only something like 4 doctors in the US who perform late-term abortions. I think 1 is in Maryland, 1 is in Colorado, and 2 are in New Mexico.
