1. For most of my adult life I lived in big cities where I was told the streets were not safe for me. I have never let fear overpower my need to be out side on the sidewalks after dark, because I do not believe that women should be afraid to be outside, a part of their community.

2. This is amazing.

3. I’m 100% on board with this idea.

4. The best live-tweeting I’ve read, hands down.

5. Moonlight, magic, and macabre. (this made me ball, thank you Liz)

6. Can my uniform be yoga pants and a boxy linen shirt? Great!

7. Hannah wrote a book and it looks beautiful!

8. Intersectionality and pizza. Brilliant! (thanks Brooke!)

9. Oh thank god, I can stop trying to care what an apatosaurus was.

10. Ugh, we’re the worst. The worst.
