It’s ONLY A HUGE VICTORY FOR FEMINISM, SOCIALISM, AND WOMEN OF COLOR. Not a big deal or anything. Tumblr is… This is amazing. I struggle so, so much with the value of all the unpaid work I do.

Look, I get that there’s supposed to be a whole “Don’t forget to stop and smell the roses!” thing going on with this, but every time I see it, it feels like there’s this shaming going on of the people who didn’t, COULDN’T stop.  Let’s be honest - how many people have jobs or bosses where they could turn up 10, 15, 20 minutes late and say,  ...

A friend of mine was basically complaining about friends of his who were becoming moms at a young age and putting careers on the back burner. “You’re not that kind of mom, though,” he tells me. At which point I had to point out that YES actually, I WAS that kind of mom, it’s just that now my kids are teenagers and I have a little more time and independence than a mother to...
