Culture is evolving, and many of us now understand that gender is a spectrum. Trans kids are part of that spectrum. They can lead safe, healthy lives if their parents will love and support them. But if not, they can find a community who will.

Colin from The Secret Garden. He’s essentially the less appealing, mansplaining version of Mary, suddenly trying to make everything about God, and horning in on Dicken and Mary’s time together in the garden.

Gen X, does anyone else remember those blinding white satin shoes and clutches that you could have dyed to match your prom dress? They were like $20 and they cut your feet open.

I was a little shocked to find this intact recipe box at the flea market years ago. I think she was from Iowa. Is anyone collecting these recipes online as historical records? Such precious documentation of women’s social networks and day to day lives.

I have deep pockets added to all of my dresses. I searched out four patterns of vintage Japanese china, so I could change sets at the start of each season. We light taper candles every night with dinner.

You spend years being candid about sex and how to safeguard themselves emotionally and physically. You answer the uncomfortable questions, you provide the books, you suggest waiting until they’re an adult, you show them where condoms are in the store. Then you leave them alone.

Gabby wrote a book about men’s responsibility for unexpected pregnancies, and policies we could enact as a society to decrease the necessity for abortions. Pre-ordered one for me and my son.
News! I wrote a new book called #EjaculateResponsibly. Well… first I wrote a thread, then I debated it for 3+ years, and then I took what I learned and distilled it into 28 clear arguments that offer a new way to think about abortion. Pre-order here:

My father served. His father served. My mother’s father served. Solid Republican support for our service people was the last redeeming thing about the party. Trump is not only a bad Republican, but a bad American, and a bad person.

When I was broke in college I hung out with a group of three guy friends who started dropping by around when when I was making dinner. On the fourth consecutive night, I was like WTF, this is not a “thing.” Their response was indignant. “You like cooking for us!”

Visiting friends in college, we spent hours getting ready for the night. On our way out, their roomie came home and wanted to join, after a “30 sec” shower. GAH!
Friends. That woman was out of the shower with deodorant on in under a minute. I’m 44 and I still think about her.
