Thank you for this. As always, Beth. This just hit all the right spots. We must do what we can to make this world safer for everyone.

What a kind reminder that we have some deciding to do, you young mothers, you parents of any age and retirees like me with kindergarten-age grandchildren in faraway places. I've offered to pay for a personal bodyguard, a private tutor for home schooling, you name it, I've volunteered it. I am NOT sacrificing this or any child to the altars of GOP, NRA, Fox News and gun manufacturers.

The country has become too ugly, hateful and violent in the name of an ancient amendment written for militias. If all of Europe weren't on strike right now, I'd be there in a heartbeat.

the right to draw a tattoo of rayquaza (pokemon character) on your entire torso with black sharpie because you learned how to draw it on youtube and mommy is proud of your art skills.

All your writings make me smile, laugh, identify. This one made me cry,...and immediately donate. (I hadn’t been aware of that organization, so thank you for that too).
