It doesn’t get any more difficult to insult ourselves, regardless of how old we are. It would be ideal if it got easier to respect ourselves, but it generally doesn’t do that either. Every year you age, and every year the aging you looks at the you of the years before and thinks, I can’t believe I thought I was fat/ugly/etc.

Oh hey remember that time in 1804 when Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton had an actual duel, with actual guns and Burr shot Hamilton and Hamilton did not shoot Burr. And then the next day Hamilton died.

"She has created an important space on the internet and in the real world, a space that women and girls are free to take up however they please."

The argument against homeschooling is always the same: “Kids need to socialize.”

I'll let you in on a little secret - being thin didn't make me happy, but being "Fat" does! Be fat and happy. Be unapologetically fat.

“I don’t even know what to say, Joni. Your baby isn’t alive.”

I was told that feminism is man hate. That abortion is murder. And then I thought, "What am I doing here?"
