A year ago today, I watched one of my best friends say goodbye to her family. She told them, “I’m scared, but I’m also excited.” Dispite thinking she’d be gone within the week, she lived on for another ten months. She traveled to Mexico and the Bounday Waters with her family. No moment was ever lost on her.

I hope you have the honor of one day watching someone of true faith, depart from this world. It will change you forever.

I love you Kate. You were one of the bravest and most beautiful souls I’ve ever known.

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.

Not dying.

Just logging off.

Getting a job no one cares about.

Growing tomatoes.

Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.

Not as a failure.

But as a kind of freedom.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Best mental reset I’ve learned:

If your mind is loud — Write.

If your mind is empty — Read.

If your mind is racing — Walk.

If your mind is tired — Sleep.

If your mind is sharp — Build.

Most problems are just mismatched energy. Get the inputs right, the rest follows.

i love it when a woman slowly steps out of survival mode and starts to fall in love with life again. when her zest for life comes back and when she starts to notice all the magic and blessings around her, it’s the most beautiful thing to witness.

One day, you'll realize that no one was really watching, and you could have done whatever you wanted.

I just hope you don't figure it out too late.

Justice Sam Alito's GOP curse and Ohio's abortion vote
Jordan Thayer's avatar

I am a little confused on the ohio constitution thing. Doesn't issue 1 allow the state to regulate abortions after viability? How is an amendment that allows the state to regulate abortions seen as an abortion protection? It seems more to me like it is a win/lose for both sides. Thanks.

Abortion, like any medical procedure, is going to include regulations. Very few abortions occur after viability. More accurately, the amendment allows a BAN on abortions after that point.

And, the amendment includes even then that "in no case may such an abortion be prohibited if in the professional judgment of the pregnant patient’s treating physician it is necessary to protect the pregnant patient’s life or health"
