A lil BTS from my NYT photoshoot! Choosing to be open about these past seven months has been both rewarding and challenging. Hearing from women who feel that my openness about all of this has helped them in some way will always make the tough things worth it. Still, I can admit that itās been disappointing to see some people respond to my vulnerability regarding the toughest year of my life with politically charged backlash, often rooted in misconceptions about myself or about others. I work so hard as an independent (and as a PERSON) to try and find the HUMAN stuff that connects us. There is so much of it, despite how hard the people in power with something to gain from division try to tell us otherwise. It was the thesis of my last book, āI Used to Like You Untilā¦ā and its desperate importance only became more clear to me as I was slapped so hard in the face with the realities of the two things that we ALL have in common: Life (with the birth of my first child) and Death (with the diagnosis of a disease that could have killed me) within the same 24ish hours. Iāve been through a lot, and Iām still going through a lot, but I also have a lot to be grateful for⦠my health, my son, outlets including NYT and Fox News offering their platforms to let me share my story, my ability to tell jokes about my trauma on stages around the country (ticket link in my bio HAHA!) and not least of all, the wonderful people around me who have carried me on the days when I couldnāt do it myself... people, by the way, who range from very liberal to very conservative to all the possibilities in between and outside of those labels. My refusal to accept manufactured narratives about who people are has made my life so rich, and I will never stop hoping the same for everyone else. Thanks for reading if youāve made it this far, and happy first day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The First Amendment is for *exactly* these sorts of circumstances. If it only applied when it was comfortable, we wouldnāt need it at all š¤¦āāļø
Iām an independent, not a Democrat. Jimmy Kimmelās sister also once told me to āfuck off and dieā over a mistake that was a misunderstanding which Iād already felt awful about and apologized for. But this isnāt about politics or personal feelings; itās about the FCC engaging in content moderation ā and Iām still the same free speech absolutist as Iāve always been, for all the reasons Iāve spent my career espousing š
Hello my precious angels! Just added a fourth show in Kenosha, Wisconsin!

Cam has shown me what love is with his actions, by showing the fuck up for me consistently, no matter what unimaginable difficulty life throws our way. I would kill for him, but the rest of you can just wish him a happy birthday @CameronFriscia š«¶š»
For reference I talked about āFEELING wholeā personally. Choosing to twist my words and lie to attack me for being open about my feelings after losing my breasts to cancer a month after giving birth to my first child is so, so sick.

Attacking me for talking about my personal feelings regarding my personal decision to get the reconstructive surgery covered by my insurance is fucking insane, actually
