Dear Justice Roberts,

“To the extent this betrayal of all women was intended to undermine our humanness, our dignity and our fundamental rights to exist as free and equal human beings, it will not succeed. The work of the Women will not be affected in any way.”

Expect us.

Hey @Uber how do I get ahold of you? One of your drivers is using my social security number and I got their 1099. I’ve never worked for you. @Uber

[The Mandy Burnett @themandyburnett]

@allisonbraley Damn. When you put it together that way it really is hard to watch. And impossible to unsee.

12 yrs ago today, met @ThatKevinSmith-my fav director & podcaster (and Megals) in an NYC elevator , wrote a blog about it (https://t.co/ekdMsY9hN8) he retweeted it and I had a hit in every state in the U.S. and was now known as “Elevator Girl” Epic day. #whereisthepuckgoing

A reporter asked me: why do I wish people “happy holidays“?

Because from 1 November to 15 January there are approximately 29 holidays observed by 7 of the world’s major religions. And I don’t think mine are the only ones that count. There’s no war on Christmas…

@ldsfootnotes @msemilyrichards This is a big one for me. The scenes imprinted into my childhood brain that never occurred informed so much of my identity it was hard to reconcile it all when I left. Deep stuff there.

It turns out women enjoy having human rights, and we vote.

Totes fair.

My favorite ever response to Mormons asking “but what if it IS true??” (which is a thing I also said as a Mormon!) was from @murffyslurtz: “I’ll just say ‘my bad, I got confused by the covering up sex abuse thing-that’s usually a sign it’s NOT from god’ and god’ll be like ‘fair’”

[The Mandy Burnett @themandyburnett]

@its_gaydad Same. And I did NOT see that coming 😂

[The Mandy Burnett @themandyburnett]

@whitecatprophcy I totally relate to this one.

[The Mandy Burnett @themandyburnett]

@its_gaydad @whitecatprophcy Relatable.

@KrysMarshall @KrysMarshall we got our 15 yr old NASA bound🤞🏻kid hooked and we both nerd out over the depth of Karen’s journey regularly! #SuperFans

To love and to be loved by another woman in every form is deeply profound and meaningful. Thank you @LeagueOnPrime @WillWGraham and team for showing us so many ways women love women. ❤️

@dundermormon This has the beginnings of a good yo mama type game…I was so Mormon…😂

[The Mandy Burnett @themandyburnett]

@ITYSL_LDSChurch The irony of that is epic.

[The Mandy Burnett @themandyburnett]

@McKenzieDee17 Crazy how opposite that is to what we focused on before, isn’t it?

[The Mandy Burnett @themandyburnett]

@LDSdiscussions That is some creepy ish when you realize he’s not referring to the victim when he says protecting innocent people from being hurt. Jesus Christ.

[The Mandy Burnett @themandyburnett]

@CelestialYeti I understand what you’re suggesting. And I can appreciate it. But when you’ve been in a cult like religion and get out and see it for what it is, you’re often done being proper. I’m all for airing the church’s dirty laundry in ways that gain attention.

[The Mandy Burnett @themandyburnett]

@CelestialYeti And yet here we are. Mormons will forever claim persecution but when those actually persecuted by the church i.e. through violent acts unreported, the church still wants everyone to just be nice. That ship has sailed.

[The Mandy Burnett @themandyburnett]

@rachel_l_hicks @LeagueOnPrime This may legit be my favorite love story of the whole series. ❤️ GORGEOUS work!

[The Mandy Burnett @themandyburnett]

@CelestialYeti Hardly an attempt to change minds of those inside. Seems more like a way to shed light and gain attention of the rest of the world. I’m here for it. 🤷🏼‍♀️
