Today marks the centennial anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which reads simply, “The right of citizens of the United States to vote…
I thought today would be the perfect day to pop in and say hi. Hope you’re all surviving.Â

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You: A Bittersweet Goodbye
It's been nearly four years since I started this blog. Four years, 7,872 posts, and 16,599 followers.Â
What I've gotten from running this blog can't be measured by numbers. I'm not sure how, exactly, you measure the kinds of discussions, debates, and amazing learning experiences I've been privileged enough to have in the course of running this blog. When I started it, I just intended to poke fun at sexist Facebook posts - and in the process, I learned so, so much. I've learned so much about myself, and the privileges that I have. I've been blown away by learning so much about the experiences of others, people of all genders, races, backgrounds, socioeconomic statuses, and sexual orientations.
In the time that I've been writing the blog, I have graduated college, held a bunch of different jobs, and learned a lot about myself and the world. I've come to two conclusions: there are a lot of problems in this country that need solutions, and there need to be a lot more women in politics, both as campaign workers/staffers and elected officials themselves.
In service of these conclusions, I've decided to take a position as a staffer for a truly progressive woman who is running for Congress. I hope that this is the first step of a career in politics, and I fully intend to take everything I've learned here to fight for equal rights for trans persons, people of all sexualities, all races, all genders, and all socioeconomic statuses.Â
Unfortunately, part of taking this next step in my life means leaving this truly enriching one behind. I am proud of (many of) the things I've written on this blog, but I do not want this blog to serve as a distraction, in any present or future campaigns.Â
I can't thank all of you enough. It's been truly humbling to have an audience not only of this size, but of this caliber. So many of you have contribute thoughtfully, and opened my mind in so many important and amazing ways. I'll still be Tumbling on a personal blog I just created, and I have definitely followed many of you over there. Please feel free to message me here - I will respond privately (and happily!). Don't be a stranger, talk to me at either blog! You can also keep tabs on me on Instagram and Twitter.
So that's it - my final, sign off post. It feels surreal, and of course sad. But I'm the future will be even better.
I leave you with this - a panel I spoke at last week that touches on the reason I'm going into politics. I couldn't have done it without everything I learned in the course of this blog. [I promise I'll embed this video when it comes up online!!]
Thank you, best of luck, and keep fighting the good fight. Never stop calling out sexism, never stop talking about the issues, and for all of our sakes, consider going into public service.
As always, xoxo,
Miss O (& Mr E and Hamlet)
There's an announcement coming in the next few days! In the meantime, you might want to follow my personal blog. (I've been messaging a bunch of mutual follows, but maxed out my messages for the next hour.)
