@StevensMariah @YouNetflix I’d prefer you let your light shine and not let Joe get you down. “Let your heart burn with loving kindness for all who may cross your path.” We’ll be safer & happier in that sort of world than in one of paranoia. We have plenty paranoia in our public sphere already, right?

I’ve stayed away from social media largely bc once you say one thing—esp when you promote your work—where do you draw the line? I did this years ago, and exhausted myself trying to speak up about everything that mattered. And to what effect? Was it only preaching to the choir?

Tonight the season finale of @YouOnLifetime is totally bananas and really disturbing and doesn’t soften the punches that hit us in the tenderest place. An impossible feat of balance by these talented women @serathegamble @elizabethdlail @CarolineKepnes
