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

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?
