Mother Is A Verb, Not A Noun.

Yes, It Is Hard Out There. But Hard Is Relative. I Come From A Middle-class Family, My Parents Are Academics. I Was Born After The Civil Rights Movement, I Was A Toddler During The Women's Movement, I Live In The United States Of America, All Of Which Means I Am Allowed To Own My Freedom, My Rights, My Voice And My Uterus.

I Cannot Keep Track And Lots Of Great Shows Go Unnoticed.

I Never, Ever Pay Attention To The Ratings. I Stopped Paying Attention To The Ratings Somewhere Around Season Two Or Three Of Grey's. It's Something I Have No Control Over, So I Don't Even Pay Attention.

Boundaries Don't Keep Other People Out, They Fence You In.

This Moment Right Here, Me Standing Up Here All Brown With My Boobs And My Thursday Night Of Network Television Full Of Women Of Color, Competitive Women, Strong Women, Women Who Own Their Bodies And Whose Lives Revolve Around Their Work Instead Of Their Men, Women Who Are Big Dogs, That Could Only Be Happening Right Now.
