Strength (poem)

This is the first poem I have ever written. I dedicate it to my mom, who is the strongest person I know.

Россия

I'm learning Russian.

(Well... I'm trying to learn Russian.)

WHY?

Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll.

My family

is

moving

to 

Россия.

(AKA

RUSSIA).

Crazy, right?

I joined my local chapter of the Red Cross!

I feel so much more justified in taking photos with my friend/coworker of us wearing the leftover Red Cross shirts from our clinic.

P.S. I am a Disaster Recovery Specialist/ShelterSurveyor.

"Feminism is Having a Wardrobe Malfunction" by Megan Rosalarian Gedris

I LOVE this cartoon...

I think feminism should be about allowing women to have the space and ability in society to do whatever they want to do in their life.

I do not think feminism should be about flip-flopping from women being expected to cook, clean and care for kids in the home and being judged for leaving the home to work to expecting women to work outside the home and judging them when they choose to stay at home. This applies to every choice a woman makes in her life -- her clothes, her career, family planning, etc. 

If we combat societal expectations with more societal expectations, we are not solving the problem.

Drumroll, Please.

I've turned in my mission papers.

Lots of emotions.. mostly positive ones.
