One of the greatest strengths of the Internet is also one of its greatest weaknesses: anonymity. It emboldens people to speak out when they normally wouldn’t, but it also empowers people to speak out when they probably shouldn’t. It protects the cautious and the caustic, and the former is too often drowned out by the…

The most important person of the day is Wendy Davis, but her works will literally last for generations. I’m even going to use a freakin’ hash tag: #StandWithWendy

I was taught that there is one perfect person out there for everyone, but now I know that is just a fairy tale. If it were true, then the odds are against any of us finding our one true love. The truth is that there are a million people out there who are perfect for…
