.@PeteButtigieg: If your party has been systematically against unions, against a higher minimum wage, against paid family leave, against overtime, then just because you found Hulk Hogan and Kid Rock and put them on a stage doesn't make you a friend of the working man. The substance actually matters

73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need:
- Paid family leave
- Equal pay
- Universal childcare
(But get your mom flowers, too)

Viral movements meet "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret" in a fun book, wonderfully narrated. LOVE this set-up.
Highly recommend for a book club discussion, w caveat: if it doesn't include period mishaps, you need a better book club.

My pre-ordered copy of @janeroper's new book FINALLY arrived chez moi. After someone at the Delray Beach ⛱️ post office shanghai'd the 1st one I ordered, the fine folks at @Bookshop_Org graciously agreed to send me a 2d copy ❤️ 📚 🛒 #IndieBookstoreDay

An abundance of period/@judyblume riches today at @cogwbur!
This piece REALLY spoke to me. I still toss in an errant Coke and chapstick whenever I buy tampons 🫣🙃
Come for the contrast between my kids' attitudes around periods vs mine. Stay for the cringe picture of me at 14 with bad 80s bangs, Laura Ashley dress, and shell necklace. (White shoes not visible) @WBUR @cogwbur #AreYouThereGodItsMeMargaret #YesWeBleed wbur.fm/40Oo63g
