this may have been said to my husband today as I walked away from the now-clean sink like I just dropped the mic.
like a boss.
this may be a new phrase in my house for when the dishes have been conquered.
Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. And you cannot turn away. Your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. You must either learn to carry the Universe or be crushed by it. You must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors.

These posters show different white people covered in revealing truths about white privilege. According to an article in MPR news, A 2010 survey found Duluth residents viewed the city as less hospitable to racial and ethnic minorities, immigrants, young adults without children, and talented college graduates looking for work than other comparable cities. The survey ended up starting a dialogue about racial issues which facilitated a way in which to combat them. Awareness.
I have many feels about this. Maybe I will post about them later. But they are good feels.

I think it is curious that women, excuse me feminists, seem to put this oral contraception issue as the premiere issue concerning women in the year 2012. You know, not equal pay for equal work. Not that more women go to college and have degrees then men but they are absent in most boardrooms across the country. Not that we still haven’t elected a female President, and have never really been close. No, the idea that women must have free, unrestricted access to oral contraception is the pivotal issue.
Why? Does their commitment to equality mean using their vagina as an advantage? Is this an admission by feminists that sex is the only thing a woman has to offer and, thus, it must be used as an unrestrained weapon? Are women preferring a life of using their vagina as a revenue model and not their mind and integrity? And the big one: Are women so ashamed of who they are that they can’t embrace the things that make them women and would rather mimic men? Why are these feminists calling an elective therapy like oral contraception a basic right of women’s health — so they can eliminate every step of uniqueness woman has versus man?
Women, there is no shame in being known for who you are. No shame in climbing society using your knowledge and your mind. No shame in making better decisions for yourself. I know our society today seems to reward the dumbest, the most moral-less, the most offensive; but that isn’t the way. You can still not only be equal to men but better than men by being intelligent, being determined, being a lady.
You should never feel bad about yourself for making the right decisions, not the popular or easy ones.
Notice I keep saying oral contraception, not birth control, because there are many free and cheap methods of birth control that don’t seem to be of much interest to feminists. I wonder why?
I had to drop out of college when I was pregnant and sick, and then when I was a new mom who couldn’t afford daycare. So FUCK YOU, asshole. It wasn’t until I got daycare assistance that I could go back. Women can’t care about career or salary ANYTHING if they are stuck at fucking home having and watching babies. Being able to plan your family is the CORNERSTONE of all the rights that you think we don’t care about.
If women are supposed to be celibate until they reach the top of the corporate ladder in equal number to men, then men should be celibate until then too. Because they totally would. Because that’s totally natural.
