As always, I'm arranging for handmade valentines to be sent to women's shelters throughout Canada and the US. Time to break out the puns! https://t.co/zhhA5TtEp7

Please remember that the REAL revolution is going to happen OFF of social media. It's going to happen in your homes, in your workplaces and at your social gatherings. Twitter is the easy part. Commit to the hard part as well.

@ChrisGethard Well, just got through to the message for the first time and hung up out of habit so that’s how my day’s going. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

What I learned from this week’s episode of @CriminalShow: If women reacted the same way to unwanted attention from men as men do, there’d be about five straight men left alive in America. You’re welcome, guys.

Today, we look at so-called “gay panic” and “trans panic” defenses. Listen here: https://t.co/TYPjkOKbJq

This morning I:

-Remembered to take my meds and vitamins
-Drank tea instead of coffee
-Also downed a glass of water
-Had a healthy breakfast
-Vomited all over the walls of a bathroom stall at my health club before yoga

Healthy mornings don’t look good on me.

My dad shoved a metal knife into a toaster to retrieve his bread. Is this when I start looking for a retirement home? Or do I just replace all his metal cutlery with bamboo? 🤔

An ex’s mom once told me she doesnt trust people who put cream or sugar in their coffee.

@HaveStrange just told me serial killers are more likely to drink their coffee black.

Who’s not good enough for your son now, lady?

How do you deal with pet hair???

A dad just told me he doesn’t believe in flu shots. While smoking a cigarette in the small, enclosed trailer he’s living in with his partner, three young children and five husky puppies.

A man walking by me carrying a huge bin stopped me to say, “Well, you’re carrying something!” and continued on, laughing to himself like he’d made the most hilarious joke.

Next time I say something I think is embarrassingly silly, I’m going to remember this guy and just rock it.

How do you not die of sadness and jealousy when everyone around you is having babies and you’ve just realized you probably will never be able to be a parent because of your health?

Not asking for a friend. 😖

So, if we’re banning trans folks from the military, does that set a precedence where we could ban cis dudes from certain government positions? 🤔🤔🤔

Daydreaming of a trans president ...

@ambernoelle I want to say live maggots which hatched into flies when my roommate didn’t deal with them, but the dead cockroach I found IN MY BED, tucked under the covers, was kinda more traumatizing.

My dog ate an entire head of lettuce. 🥬🐶

Sometimes it's hard to tell if I'm being lazy / putting off things I don't want to do or am just really tired and am honestly putting my health first.

Do other people with chronic health issues struggle with this?

[Meg Crane @MegJCrane]

I used to only need six hours of sleep a day and now some days I'm lucky if I can stay awake that long. I miss my non-injured brain.

It's sad how incompetent my doctors assume my husband during our first visits. Yes, he knows how to do laundry. Yup, he cooks healthy meals. Nope, he doesn't need you to write out step-by-step instructions on moving the plates to a lower cupboard for me.

[Meg Crane @MegJCrane]

One day I'm not going to have five doctor's appointments a week and that's going to be so beautiful. Waiting in offices is taking away too much of my cat cuddling time.
