A better world: sometime this lifetime
Sit back, relax, drink your bourbon. Not a care in the world. Their kids aren’t safe, but yours are. Why should you care, right? You could not imagine your life without your family by your side, but when it happens to others, you turn your back. You can’t conceive the idea that others might want and deserve to be as happy as you, a happiness pursuit that you think you’re entitled to because by some superiority complex you have convinced yourself that this world is yours. You went and had that abortion in ’09. It saved your career, your relationship, your life. Women around the country, as well as your…

Just because she’s a woman
I will talk a big game in person, on social media, or wherever I feel my opinion is needed. But I don’t always bring up politics to this, my sanctuary — where I conduct my own therapy sessions through poetry, retrospective anecdotes, and storytelling.

This is not about them being “pro-life,” so please save it. This is about their religious views, which…

Women’s Day All Day Every Day
What can I say about women, on International Women’s Day, that hasn’t been said already? Oh, how about simply, a woman can carry another living thing in her womb and keep it alive for nine months — show her some respect. Boom! [mic drop] Okay, it’s not a new “flex” but isn’t it just insane? I must say. And don’t even get me started on our lunar phases (it is quite the monthly bill). I think about our feminine nature often now that I’m getting older and have become more curious about aging, and I am just in complete awe of our strength; of how much we can endure physically…
