Christine Blasey Ford: No Mistaken Identity With Kavanaugh 👏🏼👏🏼

Show this photo to your daughters as they grow up.

Show them that courage is important, even in the scariest of situations. This woman stood up and faced her fears, spoke her truth in front of a group of men while balancing the world on her shoulders. She is a hero. She is a representation for all women who are done being assaulted and abused.

I Believe Dr. Christine Blasey Ford

Edit: show it to your fucking sons too

7 Secrets of Happiness

1. Have a good core group of friends.

2. Build some adventure into your life. Don’t fall into “the same old, same old”.

3. Research confirms that “stuff won’t make us happy” so clear out the junk – and only keep what you love.

4. Work on establishing balance in your life. Don’t be too busy or you’ll wind up depressed.

5. Give in to temptation every now and again. Too much discipline is boring in the end.

6. Like and appreciate yourself. Take time to notice and affirm your strengths.

7. Start living in the moment – don’t doubt every move. Accept your decision as the best one right now.

2. Rudeness and a lack of basic courtesy.

3. A disregard of healthy and appropriate boundaries.

4. Being constantly used and disrespected by others.

5. Hiding your true self, or your personality.

6. Feeling bored and empty, or feeling life lacks meaning.

7. The pressure to “just settle”- and give up on your dreams.

[paulbrady]

An easily overlooked aspect of Voltaire’s thought was the priority it gave, especially in his later life, to practice. Watchmaking, vegetable growing, star charting: the great Enlightenment thinker turned decisively away from abstraction as he aged. The argument of “Candide” is neither that the world gets better nor that it’s all for naught; it’s that happiness is where you find it, and you find it first by making it yourself. The famous injunction to “cultivate our garden” means just that: make something happen, often with your hands. It remains, as it was meant to, a reproach to all ham-fisted intellects and deskbound brooders. Getting out to make good things happen beats sitting down and thinking big things up. The wind blows every which way in the world, and Voltaire’s last word to the windblown remains the right one. There are a lot of babies yet to comfort, and gardens still to grow.

Ingrid Michaelson/Liz Tigelaar Comedy Project ‘The Way I Am’ In the Works At Hulu

Ingrid Michaelson rose to fame for having her songs on a TV show — now she’s about to get a show of her own. The singer/songwriter, who first broke through on “Grey’s Anatomy,” has a project in development to Hulu, which she created with Liz Tigelaar (“Casual”). “The Way I Am,” a single-camera comedy, is loosely based on Michaelson’s life. She’ll also be starring in the project, playing a heightened, fictionalized version of herself — a singer/songwriter who’s described as being at the height of her career, even if everyone thinks she’s Lisa Loeb. Hulu is said to have won the project in a competitive bidding situation, with multiple networks bidding on the project. Tigelaar penned the script and will serve as an executive producer, along with Michaelson and Lynn Grossman.

There BETTER be a Grey’s Anatomy analog running joke, lol.

But seriously, this is a basically all I ever could have wanted or asked for. I know she has talked about creating a show so it’s neat to see it finally coming to fruition, will be fun to see her go at acting, I guess she was a theater major after all :D
