This really resonated with me tonight. Maybe because I’m slightly drunk on a Tuesday night, who knows, but it really hit me. I didn’t say me, too. My mom - who is one of the bravest women I know - posted me, too. My sister talked to me about saying me, too, but ultimately decided against it. I never mentioned to…

As a current Texas resident - though hopefully not for much longer - I want to be hopeful about this, but am finding it difficult. Scalia and his cronies worry me too much.

So when I was really little, like 3-4, I was completely obsessed with the Skeleton Dance short. I made my mom rent the video from the grocery store constantly - this was the 80s so it was too expensive to buy - and just watched it on repeat for like two years. The song still makes me smile, and I imagine it probably…

Ugh, I was crying with Emily in that scene, but I was so glad they showed it. That is exactly what I did immediately after the very first date I had after leaving my husband. Nobody really ever talked about that part of divorce/getting back into dating, IME. It was so, so hard. I loved how they were able to show how…

I just finished rewatching Gilmore Girls and ended the series ugly-crying into my ramen because now that I’m an adult(ish) I get ALL THE FEELS when Lorelai’s dad tells her that they’re proud of her and her accomplishments, because everything is hard right now and I identify so much more with Lorelai.

OMG I’m so glad to see someone reference that speech! One of my favorite ones.

WHAT.

This is how I've been able to get through every hard thing I've ever done. Degree? Divorce? International move? Only my complete and utter stupidity regarding the general difficulty level of each has gotten me through.

I mean, the devil you know, or some such.

I really struggled with that when I had mine. Not that it was hard, but that it wasn’t a hard choice at all, and I thought it should be. But I knew the instant I saw the second line on the test. The very first thing my best friend said when I called her at 3 am in a panic was oh my god, you’re getting an abortion,…

I feel like a lot of women (myself included) have a lot of issues with policing their emotions, and I think it comes up a lot with abortion. When I had mine, I felt free and right and damn near exuberant, but then I immediately felt guilty for not feeling guilty. I felt like I /should/ feel worse, even though I…

I’m trying to work up the nerve to do this more often. I present as this very quiet, friendly midwestern neighborly WASP, so the one time I managed to sort of non-chalantly say “well, I’ve had an abortion, and I have never once regretted it,” the reaction was just... stunned. It was kind of hilarious, tbh.

I am so in love with Deva Curl! It is one of the very few products that have made my curly/frizzy hair halfway decent looking. I use the low-poo shampoo and conditioner. I tried their deep conditioner “Heaven in Hair” and it wasn’t worth it, IMO. The light defining gel is awesome - when you put it on you’re thinking…

I love her! I love her show, I love that she shows me that even though I’m fat I can still have fun dancing my ass off. That’s more helpful than shame. I don’t understand people who think shaming is going to do anything.

Good.
