@lizharmer Oh my goodness, I have one of these! We need to start a support group.

"I don’t believe the feminine is sublime and the masculine is horrifying. I believe both are valuable, essential, powerful. But we have maligned one, venerated the other, and fallen into exaggerated performances of both that cause harm to all." YES! https://t.co/9GBpkJGkwP

@Bokchoygurl Exactly! So much comfort.

[Heidi Reimer @Heidi_Reimer]

@Bokchoygurl That scared me--to recognize how much the old me was still there inside me. And how I was still capable of being swayed by those teachings. Like...maybe I did used to be right??! #seekersandskeptics

[Heidi Reimer @Heidi_Reimer]

@Bokchoygurl I’ve lived for yrs as the “new” version of me that transcended my upbringing & shed limiting beliefs. So encountering the old me in that forum was disturbing...bc I found out I still felt at home in that ideology. I knew it in my body. It was so comfortable. #seekersandskeptics

@lindsayzv @typebooks Ooh! I was not aware of this news!

This is What a Girl Pursuing Her Dream Looks Like. "She is 8. I was 8 when I knew what I wanted to do with my life & began pursuing it seriously. I know 8 isn't too young to have an inner burning fire that says: This. This is the thing that I am here for." https://t.co/vB2DElgcPr

[Heidi Reimer @Heidi_Reimer]

SO IMPORTANT. "It’s radical to have boundaries. And to exercise them. Three things I think were really really important in what she did:
1. She always explicitly said “you can leave if you want to.”
2. She never questioned why, or whether I was overreacting.
3. She showed up."

I love all of these.

I've never won a literary prize, but one of my tweets from 2015 was just included in a Buzzfeed roundup for book lovers, which I believe is similar? 🏆🏅
