Where have I been before today? Reflections on the #WomensMarch.
“where have you been? Where have y’all been? Why is this your first protest? I cannot put into words how heartbreaking it is to see grown adults that I know and love decide only now to take to the streets. I’m glad you’re there. I’m glad you’re doing something. But weren’t we enough? Weren’t...

a letter to my readers about our comfort zones
My Dear Readers,It's hard for me to write anything this week without it feeling trite. How can I write anything when in the span of 48 hours, two new hashtags where created from dead black men's names. #TerenceCrutcher and #KeithLamontScottMen killed because one had a broken down car and loo...

chocolate
My child loves chocolate. Now, yes, I know, most kids like chocolate, this is really not big news in the grand scheme of things, but Nine's relationship with chocolate started even before he was born. Ours was a complicated pregnancy. From 26 weeks on, I had weekly and then daily NST (n...

Feminist Fare Friday: #facepalm MEN! Edition.
Oh my goodness people! I have had a week. Or rather, my family has. Apparently when we decide to come down with a nasty cold virus, we like to do it all at once! I've gone through two bottles of kid Tylenol this week, and downed a fair amount of the stuff myself. As a result, our collective ...

Feminsit Fare Friday: The Soy Yo (It's Me!) Edition
Another Friday and another trip to the laundromat for me. Yes, our washing machine is still broken, but at least today my old friend Ryan, who just happens to own an appliance repair company, came over see what the problem is, and to let us know at least how much longer we have to wait to ge...
