Mom, wife, humanist. Human rights are for everyone, everywhere, always. Science is more important than ever. Religion is the original patriarchy. Vote for the most vulnerable people you know, in EVERY election. Still dream of taco trucks on every corner. 💙

Remember when Americans would say, “That could never happen here?”
Using a tank, flash bangs and a dozen police cars to arrest one, sick 61 year-old man seems excessive. He wasn’t home, so they grabbed somebody else!

I’m 55 and have truly valued the reporting at Teen Vogue. I’m not a reader of Vogue, and nowhere near their demographic.
I’m sorry and this sucks!

Upstairs cat & downstairs cat. My son’s cat has minimal interest in my cat because mine is still a baby and gets crazy. They look like twins and the dog can’t tell them apart.

A door keeps two cats apart. The look of disappointment on my cat’s face is caused by the other cat not wanting to play. sads.
