My grades of tonight’s #DemocratDebate participants, but with food:

Delaney: 3 scoops of melty vanilla ice cream
DeBlasio: a zip-loc bag of slightly limp carrot sticks
Inslee: blueberry basil kombucha
Ryan: a can of flat Miller high life
Gabbard: southwestern tofu scrambler MRE
Beto: those totally disappointing sopapillas that aren’t the real kind, but are basically cinnamon sugar-dusted tortilla chips
Castro: a surprisingly flavorful lentil loaf
Klobuchar: “healthy” tater tot hot dish
Booker: grilled portobello cap with roasted red pepper sauce on a wheat bun
Warren: apple pie with apples she picked herself from trees she planted 30 years ago, from a 5-year experiment where she tried combinations of spices, apples, and crusts, and which she documented in an apple pie journal. The top is a precise, charming, non-pretentious lattice.

I’ve done Twitter AMAs for years, but this is the first time a majority of the questions have been about whether humans and the planet are doomed. I’m not just seeing anxiety; it’s hopelessness. I think we’re failing people if this is the message they’re getting.
“...we must be a beacon of hope, because if you tell people there's nothing they can do, they will do worse than nothing.”

-@MargaretAtwood, MaddAddam
To me, pragmatic optimism isn’t pollyannaism. It’s a commitment to solving problems because we don’t have the luxury of inaction, either from despair or from the naive hope that someone else will save us. It’s stubbornness, with your eyes wide open.

Tomorrow, I’m having a hysterectomy to treat my adenomyosis. There are things I would rather do right now than talk about my abortion, but given what’s happening right now to restrict access to basic healthcare across the US, I’ve decided I can no longer sit on my story.
When I was in college, I was in an emotionally abusive relationship. I hadn’t fully realized it, but my friends had, and they were urging me to leave. I got pregnant, despite using protection. I knew that, at 20, I wasn’t ready. I worried my dreams of grad school would be over.
I also believed then that if I stayed pregnant, I’d stay in a bad relationship.

I know there are lots of people who have kids and still finish school, etc. But that was my reality. I’d had a car repossessed. We could barely make rent.

I’m taking advantage of a pain-free moment during my period to say: March is Endometriosis Awareness Month. Endometriosis (and its cousin, adenomyosis) are common, affecting >10% of women aged 15 to 44.
Endometriosis is a condition where the lining of the uterus grows somewhere outside the uterus (adenomyosis involves endometrial tissue invading the uterine wall). It behaves just like regular endometrial tissue—it builds up and is shed, causing swelling and scarring.
Symptoms of endo/adeno include extremely painful and/or heavy periods, pain outside the period (including during intercourse or bowel movements), infertility, nausea, constipation, abdominal heaviness and bloating.

Chapter 1: A Conspiracy of Love. This is all about his family, and how they raised him right. "If I was doing a shoddy job of cleaning out the garage, my mother would give it to me about working with the right attitude, about a commitment to excellence.
I would hear echoes of the civil rights movement in her lectures about personal responsibility, complete with Dr. Martin Luther King quotes tailored to the chore." (Not making that up.)
His family kept him from being too full of himself, he says in a slightly full-of-himself way. But I like his description of his father telling him that he's the product of a conspiracy of love.

i know the main take on this is "aw men don't know how to express platonic affection, that's so sad" but have you considered: men are so afraid of being gay that they don't consider they might have romantic feelings for their sweet "bro" who gave them *looks at notes* jewelry

Here is a thread of some Good Things for your Tuesday:

- Honey slowly drizzling off one of those fancy honey drizzlers onto one half of a roasted fig
- A dog wearing a little raincoat splashing in a puddle because you can't stop a dog from getting wet if he really wants to

- Frogs, just, all frogs, all of them
- The first night of fall that's cold enough to see your breath, when woodsmoke is in the air

- Finding the missing sock

- Warm laundry fresh out of the dryer
