You didn’t come onto this earth as a perfectionist or control freak. You weren’t born a person of cringe and contraction. You were born as energy, as life, made of the same stuff as stars, blossoms, breezes.

“When I die, the people to whom I am closest should grieve forever. They should never quite get over me. Otherwise I will seem dead to them, no matter how close I may secretly be.” ~@ANNELAMOTT

Your child is in jail, facing life in prison, in large part because of you. And when you get charged with lesser crimes, you flee, leaving him alone to face his charges. Now go read what Ethan Crumbley’s mom wrote, sneering that undocumented workers don’t care about their kids.

McClaren Hospital where Oxford community is gathered to support the family of Justin Shillings, one of the four teens killed this week. Justin is an organ donor and the crowd is here so that when his body is moved for surgery his family can look down and see the love and support

What they did to @AVindman and to your family is utterly revolting.
His service to this country didn’t matter. Your collective sacrifices didn’t matter.
They were hell bent on making him pay.
For.
Telling.
The.
Truth.
Because their allegiance was to trump.
And not to America.

SIGHHH. This season of the Everything Happens podcast is done! Back in the new year!
But first. Here is the endlessly interesting @nytdavidbrooks on why life is never enough, what community is for, and why Stoics don't care what I think of them.

"... the point is not whether or not I’m grateful that my birth mom didn’t abort me, it’s that she deserved to be able to make a choice."
Thank you for sharing this piece. I can't even begin to imagine being in the situations created by this supposed debate. #Choiceisfreedom

They’re coming for abortion pills next and after that it’ll be morning after pills and after that it’ll be birth control pill.

“[Life] can so suck, to use the theological term. It can be healthy to hate what life has given you, & to insist on being a big mess for a while. This takes great courage. But then, at some point, the better of 2 choices is to get back up on your feet & live again.” ~@ANNELAMOTT

I used to be normal. Now I am a person who sits in one room and says “Nooo. Noooo!” when I hear a cat pretending to bury her (perfectly good) cat food in the other room.

I can think of 10 circumstances in which only a sadist would refuse a girl or woman an abortion.
And I’m enough of a conservative that I don’t want the state to decide who qualifies.

Good Lord. I had not seen these pics before. Hopefully she has bigger bands than Trump or what Rubio was implying really was true…
