I thought I’d try to watch a movie. Sometimes I need a thing to do that requires less brainpower. I found some movies you can watch for free on IMDB. There are two documentaries I’m interested in.

I saw this meme on facebook that bothered me. It was saying women should stop tempering our statements. Instead of I think you should leave, we should say You need to leave. Or maybe just Leave. It bothered me because if there’s a thing a lot of women do, I want to do that thing,… Read More »

My favorite memory from that walk was meeting at a park near the Bay Area. The three walkers arrived from their day of walking–we supporters… Read More »
“You know, a lot of people seem to think women are born knowing how to put on makeup. But it’s a skill. I have no idea how to put on makeup. I don’t want to, but I think it’s really cool that some people want to and can do it really well. But I feel… Read More »
Our friend W came over to help Ming repot the tree collard, among other things. I heard them outside. We thought it was root bound. Half an hour later, I went outside–Ming was giving me a ride somewhere. I saw on the concrete outside our front door a small weird lizard. I thought it was… Read More »
