The past few weeks I’ve been binge watching The Handmaid’s Tale after starting it a while ago. The book has always haunted me, the series even more so. Seeing the story played out with real people is extremely disconcerting. While watching, especially the second season, I kept wondering how many people will be Serena at… Continue reading Are You Serena or Moira for this Election?

To Unfriend or Not to Unfriend, That is the Question
I’ve been thinking about this for quite some time. I think it came to mind when the Access Hollywood tapes came out about grabbing women by the p****.

Another Sad Day in America in a Long Chain of Sad Day’s in America
I am lying in bed and I can’t sleep. I can’t get this political cartoon out of my head. The only thing I think they got wrong in the picture is that one of the hands should be that of a woman since it is many Republican Senate Women who are now going to be… Continue reading Another Sad Day in America in a Long Chain of Sad Day’s in America
