When my friend (and glam | camp partner) Erin and I first met in person, I knew she had read my site before. But I didn’t know the whole story until some time later. I’m fully aware of the presence of communities on the internet that exist to slam bloggers (and me, specifically); that’s just par for the course, and while it’s no fun, it’s also something I understand.

“If you understood physiology, you’d know that the interior of uterus is external to woman’s body. Like inside of mouth.” Ahhh. So that’s how it works. In this #shoutyourabortion video, women hoping to destigmatize abortion read some of the Internet comments they received out loud, and it’s pretty amazing. (via Bustle.)
Goldie is living in this tank top lately.
I hate Twitter. It’s like a room full of people all plugging their ears with their fingers and screaming at each other. This is one death I’m cool with. (Why Twitter’s Dying and What You Can Learn From It, via Medium.)
This is such a great everyday sweater – simple, but with a little twist.
Learning to celebrate others’ successes isn’t always easy. But it’s always a good decision – for all involved. (How To Get Over Comparing Yourself To Other Creatives, via DesignSponge.)
If anyone clicks this link and buys the really not very cute item pictured, I will get a commission from my affiliate network that will basically pay my mortgage for a year. I just think that’s funny. (Don’t buy it.)
