I started BARB as a response to the lack of representation of women over the magical threshold of unfuckability—40— online and in the media. So far, so good, but there’s the thorny blemish of the daily goings on of POTATUS who seems thus far, to reinforce his disdain for anyone not-white, not-male. So, stick with me. We’re going to stay on the path of awareness, and while that will include some political reporting, t it will absolutely include the things I want to talk about (read my manifesta here), like vibrators, shopping, parenting, dating, other things too as well as our lives in general as women.

Ack, I neglected to gush over Julia Louis Dreyfus! “This immigrant ban is a blemish and it is UnAmerican.”

When women talk about aging.

When Solange Knowles sits with Professor Danielle Brooks to discuss Prince and pop culture and her new album, well, you know, that’s an hour of your time well spent.

When you are no longer 38.

Whenever I hear that the actor playing The Doctor is leaving, I’m filled with a sadness.  Peter Capaldi, we hardly knew ya!
