“Women, we are not going to continue to take this lying down. We are going to stand up for the rights that our foremothers fought for. We’ll stand up for ourselves.

I just started my period.

Nothing was “handed to you.”

My new year's resolution is to stop buying shit;...
I originally had zeroed in on clothing, but really, I’d like to extend it across all channels.
Exceptions include food/eating out (duh), music (also duh), books (although I probably own at least six months’ worth of books I haven’t read yet) and experiences.
But for clothes, the only exceptions are needed items I don’t already own (like a bridesmaid dress for one of the...
