Riot Grrrl vs. A People's Revolution
I could write about 5000 words on the pop culture influences that have played a role in shaping girls’ self-esteem and identity and ambitions over the past 20 years, but most of you probably don’t care. So here’s a brief, and simple, observation incited by two books that came out today:
1991 was all about the Girl Power. “Cry in public. Don’t Judge Other People....
GAME CHANGER.
Since I live in New York City and act at least -10 my age, I’ve always been under the assumption that I’d be capable of conceiving well into my 30s. And if, you know, for some reason that entire decade passed me by, too, I’d probably just get some fertility treatments, write about them in the New York Times (an essay in Modern Love or, if I’m really lucky, a reported...

I want to quit messing around with the first few bars of [insert song here] and pick one instrument and just go for it. Same goes for sewing: I will make more from scratch. 2.
