Around the Interwebs
If you read one post today, make it this one. This is really important: Why you should care about Net Neutrality*.
* Net neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers and governments regulating the Internet should treat all data on the Internet the same, not discriminating or charging differentially by user, content, website, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or mode of communication.

July 19, 2017 at 7:13 pmOk, so real talk, that merit badge stuff is fantastic…but I think I could only get four of them. Maybe five? Because I’m the worst at unpacking my suitcase, I always push the garbage down, I’m always late to RSVP, etc. Basically I’m like half an adult, but it’s fine. I’ve accepted it.

July 20, 2017 at 6:36 amFUN!! I always love to read what’s happening on the interwebs, and excited to check these out. Thanks so much for sharing! The one about the child-free marriage interests me the most (I wonder if it’s about what I THINK it’s about–that people can’t seem to mind their own and that every couple is different and not everyone needs babies. Okay, stepping down off my soapbox, ha!).
XOXO and hope you are having a great week!

July 21, 2017 at 7:41 amThe merit badges are funny! I have earned several of them many times over! That article about childless marriages is a good one. I wish people were less judgmental about family planning decisions (or people’s life decisions in general). It’s too bad that people just assume that a marriage couple is going to have kids. We shouldn’t shame people for making the responsible decision to not have children if it’s not something they truly want/works for them.

July 21, 2017 at 1:12 pmThough I’m not currently in a relationship, I’ve always known that I did not want children. Your link about this hit home! I recently found an old video from when I was in college (probably 15 years ago), where my aunts were telling me how “I’d come around one day, don’t say that!” — and it was literally just after the same aunts were saying nearly the SAME THING to me as a 35 year old. Ladies, I’ve not changed my mind one iota all this time. I’m good, thanks.
