I’m not gonna spam my dash with any more notes. I’ll answer privately. For the very nice anons coming my way - thank you!!
nom-chompsky asked: Text is black, paper is white, everyone knows your books are DY NO MITE!
timholtorf asked: I wish I had the chops and the capability you have when it comes to writing. Sure, I've got a book written, but there are times I feel the need to do more and just cannot find the motivation. With your writing and seeing your book out there, it's an inspiration.
Anonymous asked: I don't have anything witty to say to cheer you up. I just want you to know how wonderful I think you are and how your posts always make me smile, so I wish I could do the same for you. *hugs*
kimbertmusings asked: You are a funny and brilliant writer, and I love you!
billiethepoet asked: I adore you, and have done since lady blog days. You're too cool and witty for me. I'm brave enough to admit that, so I'm pleased just to be in your digital circle.
labratintraining asked: I don't know if this counts as a love letter, but it should. I still laugh when I think about "iPaidALotForThisGadget."

Kotex, I think that much like racism, periods would simply disappear if we ignored them. You are not helping! Stop making sanitary products that perpetuate menses. Have you considered making crafts with owls on them? People like those. Thank you.

Here's why the "Make me a sandwich, [epithet for...

So the “make me a sandwich” line does nothing but emphasize a status quo that’s been around for thousands of years. It’s not new. It’s not interesting. It’s the same old fucking thing.
It’s not a...

Follow me down the rabbit hole for a second:
I’ve long wondered if this - that women don’t recognize the symptoms of a heart attack in themselves, and consequently don’t get the fast care that is vital for heart attack survival - is the reason heart disease is the #1 killer in women. Women...
