I think my favorite thing about portrait photography is when I get to show women they’re a work of art.

I love watching people’s reactions to Greys Anatomy… seeing people come to the realization that no character by Shonda Rhimes is safe, going through every emotion there is. And then the theme song plays. “We have to watch more.” 😂

It’s 1:20am. The birth center is dimly lit while an incredible mama powers through back-to-back contractions. Her midwife and I, and her husband, and her mother, all taking turns riding through them with her. She’s in transition now. You guys… moms are amazing. I love this work with my whole soul.

The really sad part of this is how long Americans are willing to ignore anyone's pain but their own. The problem in this case of bankrupting America is that it's going to go slowly until it goes suddenly. And everyone will act like they didn't see it. We are so fucked right now.

I literally am struggling to comprehend that this is what America is fucking doing right now, it’s not satire, it’s not a Pizzagate lunatic conspiracy theory, it’s an actual thing, and half this batshit country is delightfully abandoning due process and gleefully descending into full scale TYRRANY.

One of our family’s inside jokes is when I blame my kids for my farts. And one of my favorite ways to surprise them with it is by having our Echo Dot speaker accuse them of farts. And shortly after, tell them they’re stinky. They always yell back at the speaker “NO YOU FARTED” Farts are funny.

All I hear when men tell women to get Botox, to dye over their grays, to hide their dark circles with makeup, to get plastic surgery for their postpartum tummy and loose skin, that they look ugly with tattoos and piercings and muscles and short masculine haircuts… is very thinly veiled pedophilia.

As an autistic business owner, I am DELIGHTED to hear that I will “never pay taxes” - this is GREAT NEWS! Do I just give the IRS my autism diagnosis every April, or is there a tax exemption form I need to fill out? Oh! And does this apply to my entire household, or just my two small businesses? 😋

Just because someone isn’t deemed a functional or contributing member to society, doesn’t make them any less valuable as a human being. Someone’s worth isn’t measured by their ability to pay taxes.

“Japan really is over here living in the future” No, America is living in the past because we would rather let the department of defense have trillions of dollars and they can’t even tell us how it was spent. We could have this, and thousands of other things, we just choose not to.

Jewish student on Mohsen Mahdawi:
“It remains true both that Mohsen is truly an outstanding guy, and Palestinians and foreign students shouldn't have to be the ‘perfect victims’ to stand up and support their rights,” Burnett said. “And right now, as I observe the holiday of Passover, I am highly conscious of the fact that we cannot celebrate and call ourselves a free and liberated people while our oppression is being directly weaponized to deny others their freedom.”
