Whether or not you support political violence won’t change where we’ve come to, nor where we’ve been for some time in this country. I am quite taken aback by how many people only invoke the term ‘political violence’ when it happens to a person with power. It’s political violence the other way too.

The absence of mourning is not equal to the presence of celebration, and it’s strange how many people have conflated the two over the last day.

A lot of people are learning that cowardice won’t save them in real time. Might as well be brave.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my book! I never take it for granted 💜

My husband is trying to get me to baby-proof the house before my nephew comes over. My nephew will be two months old next week.

This is exactly it.

I love my husband but sometimes I hate how attached I’ve allowed myself to become to another person. That’s the mental health stuff, I know, but I was so much more of a shark when I was emotionally isolated, and sometimes, I miss being that intense, even though it was killing me.

It’s interesting to perform or allow a kind of demonstration like those hats, then act offended at the idea that anyone would have questions about the intent and thoughtfulness of said demonstration. Why would you perform or allow an action like that, THEN decide you don’t want to talk about it?

Ocular migraines are a new fact in my life that I did not anticipate and actively hate.

Hey, Indy locals, the brilliant @staceyabrams.com is coming to Indianapolis on June 23rd. I’ve interviewed her like five times, and let me assure you, she’s always worth showing up to listen to.

The older I get the more I realize how much a person is truly left behind in certain ways when they don’t have good parents. Also how many people, for most of my life, have measured “good parenting” by whether or not the kid survived childhood. Never mind what condition this new adult was left in.

Last week I was boarding a flight, delirious because what should have been an easy trip had turned convoluted and exhausting. I felt like I heard the voice of someone I know IRL, so I looked up and found Katie Holmes. She was chatting and giggling with her daughter, Suri.

Knicks won with 107, I was born January 7, so I’m taking personal responsibility for the winning point.
