Happy Halloween, babes!
Whether you’re going all out or going lazy (like me; I will never turn down an opportunity to wear a catsuit/bodysuit/unitard that requires minimal effort), stay safe. Be smart: safety is in numbers. Buy yourself some pepper spray! Or find a mother who works at the local courthouse and makes you attach police-distributed reflector tags to your handbag and #OOTN! (Sorry, my ma’s already taken.)
Funny how we (women) are the ones packing self-defense mechanisms and clipping ridiculous bells and whistles on our persons. Wouldn’t it be so much easier—and oh, I don’t know, better for our world—if men are taught from GRADE SCHOOL that we’re not objects meant to be taken, disrespected, and conquered? I will be more than happy to elaborate but alas, I have to come up with a last-minute Halloween costume, fast. Another time.
(To my babes: please keep your pepperspray within reach and your eyes wide open still. This whole revamp of a society embedded in misogyny/grounded by patriarchy will take a while.)
. . .
Happy Halloween!

Your turn. Thoughts?
