This piece is powerful and crushing and vulnerable and stunning.

[Emily Fox Kaplan @emilyfoxkaplan]

This essay is by far the most personal piece I have ever written, and publishing it feels like the scariest—and most important—thing I have ever done.

It is about the hell that was my childhood, and how systems of power and abuse are created—and upheld.

@emilyfoxkaplan As a fellow writer and survivor, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It's too little, too late...and I believe you 💕

We’re conditioned from school-age to get used to 40-hour weeks, brash fluorescent lighting, and doing what we’re told without question. And when we inevitably struggle along the way, we’re blamed instead of shown compassion.

Capitalism and empathy are like oil and water.

She believed she could but it was uncompensated, non promotable work she had no interest in so she set a reasonable boundary, protected her time, and said no.

@MeanestTA I just finished the first one and this was my thought as well!

[Stephanie Pack @DawsPack]

@MeanestTA I missed this; thanks! (this story was the perfect way to start my day 😂)

[Stephanie Pack @DawsPack]

@MeanestTA Do we get to know before graduation? 😂

[Stephanie Pack @DawsPack]

@MeanestTA This happens to me too! Mostly with my toes.

[Neil Gaiman @neilhimself]

It seems easier to post it myself from Tumblr than look at other people posting it and telling them that, yes, it's real.

@MeanestTA Haha. Fair! Maybe it's seeing him after a break? The gap gave you time to get nervous all over again...?

@MeanestTA It's the "new" paramour phase

[John Green @sportswithjohn]

People think people are getting worse, but actually people are getting better. And this has been the case for at least 70 years.

Fascinating paper that you can read for free. https://t.co/X8542hh50Q

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

Not abortions.
Not books.
Not drag queens.
Not Black history.

Guns. It’s the fucking guns that are killing our kids.

@dave__whiteside My partner & doula pushed on pressure points on my back and knees through *every contraction. When they got tired, they switched. This continual support is a big part of how I was able to have an unmedicated birth (important to me) (also fortunate we didn't have medical issues)
