Thoughts and Images For Your Weekend

For Fun

I was so inspired to read about these two women aging gracefully and unapologetically and carrying right on with rocking the world.  Meet them here and here.  Photo by Shirley Baker, via To.

For Thought

"Why did American feminism evolve in such a way that we think of biology as destiny, and that destiny as a prison? Why are we so willing to surrender the parts and processes that makes us female rather than demanding that society support them? We've broken down doors and cracked glass ceilings, when what we need to do is redesign the building."

For Laughs

I dare you not to get completely cracked up looking at this blog.

For Surprise

You will not believe these two real-life, amazing birth stories:  

First, a 911 call from parents birthing a baby in their bathtub -- the twist?  They didn't know they were expecting!

Second, twins born on Fifth Avenue -- the actual street!
