@SundaeDivine The importance of a lot of things in Massachusetts are blown out of proportion, like the Boston Marathon. At least it felt that way when I ran it.

@orangepeel18 The school yard energy of saying the debate equivalent of “your mom doesn’t love you” was immature (and inaccurate) indeed.

@realgirl_fieri Women “want” to go back to work right away because we now have to make sure we don’t lose the roof over our baby’s head. Full stop. It’s the money. Whether it’s that every single paycheck is needed, or they can’t afford to miss a season off their career… it’s the money.

@iamalmostlegend @notcapnamerica Most of what people say about white women has applied to me at times in my life. But any progress I’ve made comes from listening, not shutting people down by immediately crying “not me! Not all!”
