Ever since I was 13, I’ve been excited about turning 31 because it’s my lucky number backwards, which is why I wanted to surprise you with this now. You’ve all been so caring, supportive and thoughtful on my birthdays and so this time I thought I would give you something!
I'm so tired of hearing people say "we've survived 4 years of Trump, we can survive 4 more." There are A LOT of people who literally didn't survive because of his policies, decisions, and rhetoric. That statement is a statement of a ton of privilege.
