On I Am Fastidiously Frugal And Exorbitantly Flagrant (Because: Balance) (And: Parents)

On Is Poverty a Choice? Or Is It More a Sixth Finger, Or a Tail

I think describing one boy and one girl as a “rich man’s family” as old-fashioned and very sweet. A “be grateful for what you have” kind of rich.

On How Many Dollars Do You Donate And Why: Some Super Short Chats

An ongoing $30 to Planned Parenthood every month. But in my lottery winning fantasies, I would give so much money to: * Planned Parenthood * St. Jude * Imagination Library (Dolly Parton's literacy deal for kidz) * ASPCA * MSF
