Go read this. A really good recap of the RNC.
i don’t know, can something be such a bad idea that it laps itself and becomes a good idea? (no, not really. this is a bad idea.)

it’s totally scary, but it’s also really exciting. after 18 years of having a default plan (school), you get to use your big sexy creative brain to decide what you’re going to do. somebody told me that the best thing to do is think about the life you want to have and use that to decide what kind of work you’re going to do.
don’t worry, it gotcha. it took a long time for a lot of reasons. matching people up took a while because i had to match languages and ages and a few little requests here and there. what really took forever was sending out the emails. i tried to write a mail merge script but that just wasn’t working, so julia and i sent them out in between 40 hour a week jobs, getting ready for college, other autostraddle stuff and just life in general.

“All this had to be accepted. Living did not mean one joy piled upon another. It was merely the hope for less pain, hope played like a playing card upon another hope, a wish for kindnesses and mercies to emerge like kings and queens in an unexpected twist in the game.”
