I showed up for this.

I have been in the worst mood this past week. Not sleeping. Then sleeping during the day. I haven't been to yoga. I haven't shown up for myself in any way. I haven't been reading the manuscript I said I'd read for a friend. Last night I had a gin and tonic and a bowl of nuts for dinner. Tonight ice cream. In my pajamas. At 6 p.m. But I made a sign last night.

And today I showed up for this.

Some days I love my fellow humans. 

Dear fellow compassionate humans, I wish you well.

I Stand With Planned Parenthood

Today in Ventura, CA:

I love the signs.

Today was a day of action for the anti-choice folks. I will not call them pro-life. That's like calling Steve Bannon alt-right.  People who are pro-life don't murder doctors and clinic staffers. They don't connive and convince women to put more children into this world where they cut funding for disabilities, education, and health care--including pre-natal health care.

So Planned Parenthood supporters took to the streets too. There were plenty of men as well as women of all ages. I was proud to be there because #IStandWtihPlannedParenthood.
