Thigh Gap. Excuse Me? Are You Fucking Kidding?

"Thigh gap"? WTF? 

 Okay. I'm going to go out on limb and say some stuff: 

 Some women have skinny legs and that's just fine. 

 The majority of women do not can and should never try to achieve this "thigh gap" thing. I've been dangerously skinny and I NEVER attained the coveted thigh gap. I could count every rib and still, no gap. Fuck that.

What is it with folks that we start to sexualize and fetishize a body part that is actually actually an absence, really seriously just empty space?  We're talking negative space, boys and girls, which is  a completely mind-blowing concept when you learn about it in 3rd grade art class, however in real life, given a choice between existing or being negative space, I think corporeal is better.  

 Here's an example of what I'm talking about; behold the delectable doughnut. Do you enjoy eating a doughnut or do you prefer eating the space in the middle that is not there, the doughnut gap?  I'm all about the doughnut. I'll leave the gap for you. Yum.

For all women who are thigh-gap-less, listen up Gorgeous, I'm talking to you; you are substantive, lovely, and delicious.  

 Skinny thigh gap ladies, no disrespect, but I'm challenging my generously thigh-ed sisters to celebrate their abundance, to take up the space they're in without apology or guilt and maybe just for today to try to rock those bountiful gams with audacity and sass. 

 Yay for sexy round rubbing together thighs!

Just don't call me Late to Dinner

A friend recently asked if I was ever called Maggie or if I'd always been a Margaret. That got me thinking about my name. I hate my name.  Hate it. I have never liked my name. It seems fine to call other people Margaret. It sounds agreeable enough when I say hello to another Margaret. "Hello, Margaret!" I might say. And the name doesn't offend me. It doesn't make me recoil or wretch. It's just a name. And a fine name at that. But it's not for me. I don't feel like a Margaret. It doesn't fit me well.  Hangs off me all funny and weird. Can't ever seem to wear it comfortably. I don't like to be called by name. Frankly, it makes me feel sort of sick.  When I was a chubby 3rd grader I decided I wanted to go by a nickname.   Peggy. I wrote it in my clumsy curly cursive on the front inside cover of my books.   I said it out loud to myself in the mirror. Peggy. Peggy! I liked it. First of all Peg

Thinking about my son, jail, near death experiences, and hoping for the future

It's disconcerting when your 9 year old son asks if there are any jails in town that he could tour. My first thought, naturally enough, was that my son was planning a life of crime and wanted to see where he'd be spending 5-8 years of his life. But then I took comfort in the realization that my son is a dear darling boy who absolutely can not think past this moment. THIS moment. THIS MOMENT. He is the boy who tried to pick up fire, the boy who tried to put the knife in the toaster, the boy who ate his entire chocolate Advent calender in one sitting, never contemplating for a second what would happen next. The look of surprise and hurt after the touching fire thing was heart breaking. He was utterly disconsolate on December 2nd when he found he had no more candy and would have to watch his sister eat her stale misshapen chocolate stockings, stars, and bells, one each morning, for 24 days, in front of his very eyes. He was completely dumbfounded not not just a lit

Inspired by Louise Gluck, a Poem about the Heavens

a poem by Louise Gluck  Under Taurus We were on the pier, you desiring that I see the Pleiades. I could see everything but what you wished.  Now I will follow. There is not a single cloud; the stars appear even the invisible sister. Show me where to look,  as though they will stay where they are. Instruct me in the dark.  Isn't that beautiful? That to me is just perfect.  Isn't that perfect? Everything just comes together. Perfect.  Of course, I feel inspired. Under Uranus... easy fishing, that. Low hanging fruit. But can you blame me? I know Uranus isn't a constellation, but it is a heavenly body, so I let it stand.  "Of course,  you 'll have to  know  exactly where to  look  for it. Barely visible by a keen naked eye on very dark, clear nights... Uranus  is...visible during the evening hours among the stars of Pisces, the Fishes."   https://www.space.com/22983-see-planet-uranus-night-sky.html
