A Week’s Worth of Women in the News

lemonade rage

Time marches on (it’s been nearly a month!), and what I’m noticing most is people are stepping forward. They’re writing, loving, learning, sending postcards, calling their reps, protesting, and running for damn office.

I won’t be traveling to DC this weekend for the Women’s March on Washington, but I was thinking of my sisters who are going when I came up with this playlist. This is righteous road trip music. You will sing and sometimes scream these songs. You may even shed a tear or two. But I’ve … [Read more…]

In the midst of country music that hates rules, hip hop that sounds kind of mean, noise rock that shuts dudes up, the sweetest of sweet indie music, and so much more, I’ve included a wonderful surprise. EEEEEEEEE. For those of you new to the mix, I’m using it as a weekly excuse to tell … [Read more…]

  Hockey! Park ranger go-go boots! Ghosts! Here’s your party mix of links. Don’t worry, I already picked out the rye chips for you.   “Women don’t lose themselves in motherhood; society loses them.

BeyonceSalute

Early in May, I visited a friend who works with college students at her office. When I walked in, I saw she had two students doing a puzzle. They seemed harried, exhausted, and honestly, a bit deflated.   “I fell asleep during the last test . . . twice,” one remarked as she stared bleakly … [Read more…]

She grinds from Monday to Friday; works from Friday to Sunday. Sorry, sorry, let me hit pause. It was very difficult to find something other than Beyoncé and her six-inch heels to share with y’all this week. It’s still very difficult to get that yellow dress and Hot Sauce baseball bat out of my head … [Read more…]
