Older or younger lovers? I used to go for younger men, often much younger. At 57, I learned how amazing an older lover could be. The rest of my story is an open book-actually 4 open books. Glorious Broads invited my views & @thejessicadrake asked the Q: https://t.co/Am9A1uMTaz
True story: I had a new job in 1970. My male supervisor asked, “Is it Miss or Mrs.?” I replied, “Ms.” He said, “ I don’t use Ms.” I said, “Of course you don’t. You use Mr. I use Ms.”
One of Gloria Steinem’s lasting contributions was helping replace the honorific "Miss” and “Mrs.” with “Ms.” for widespread use.
Steinem, the feminist leader who died this week, debated its use with New York Times editor A. M. Rosenthal in letters dating back half a century, now preserved at The New York Public Library.

i am happy + fulfilled in ways i never was before.
partly bc i’m older now. partly bc i’m healed from some really awful shit i endured for way too long- and also bc the people around me support + love me for me. not “who” i am or what i can do for them.
it’s wild how different my life looks from how it did in february 2020.
I answered a series of quickie Qs for Glorious Broads (Instagram). Thank you to my dear friend @thejessicadrake for interviewing me. When was I most sexually adventurous? This one got a lot of attention – and comments! https://t.co/wIwKLtpkSM
What advice would I give to younger people? My answer to this Q may surprise you. Thank you, dear @thejessicadrake, for interviewing me for Glorious Broads. (Shoutout to @fakedansavage who explains this point of view frequently and powerfully.) https://t.co/QTgQ5NH1uI
I don't believe that grief passes away. It has its time and place forever. More time is added to it; it becomes a story within a story. But grief and griever alike endure.
―Wendell Berry, 'Jayber Crow'
R.I.P.
I am begging healthcare workers to stop doing this.
You should be masking by default.
With everything we know about how COVID is transmitted it’s ridiculous we don’t have mandatory masking in healthcare.
At the bare minimum, you should mask mirror.
What a thread, @broadwaybabyto! Appalling. I ask every provider, "Would you please mask for me?" I had one tech refuse, otherwise they do. I admit if I'm in a situation (e.g. ER) with many unmasked providers, I don't feel I can halt the process to get them to mask.
I recently had my first doctor refuse to wear a mask for me.
They confidently told me “new science shows you only have to wear one when you’re sick”.
I reminded them that asymptomatic transmission is real and that I’m immunocompromised & have been hospitalized for a cold…
Lori Dube & Constance Bauer interview me on this engaging, high-spirited podcast, We Ain't Dead Yet. We normalize that we're still sexual beings and demystify how to make sex special in aging, wrinkly bodies. Lots of quick tips, some deep thoughts, too. https://t.co/xrawpcRmSX
