One of the things that I feel is important is that video can provide a platform for women to share their own thought and feelings about a topic. Not a talking point or a position from a non-profit but from a specific person's point of view.
Beyond the posturing and misogyny running rampant this is Andrea Grimes telling how de-funding Planned Parenthood will affect her life. This is an example of how web video can be used to present your views on a topic. You can read more about Andrea at her blog or her channel on YouTube.

Weight Loss For Deb
It is the time when the oppressive infomercials appear on broadcast and cable television. And the diet ads. And the Perfect people who implore you to spend mega bucks on getting the perfect body.
What if you are a real person? A person with a body that you have to take care of but you will never, ever be 5 feet and 7 inches? You know what? You do what you can where you can.
This is Deb Roby and she is demonstrating 10 examples of stuff you can do from home. Deb has a blog called Weight Loss for Deb where she talks about the truth of losing and gaining weigh.
It is a challenge and a process that does not involve tanning, Daisy Dukes or greasing up your legs so that they shine pretty for the camera.

Erica Jong on the Pill and the Early 1960s
Not a vlog or vlogger but this is a perspective from a woman who knows a little something about time, perspective and the journey.
From WNET this is a clip of poet/author Erica Jong talking about the pill, the early part of the 1960's and why men probably won't take a birth control pill.

Grace :: The Story of the Remote :: Dirty Joke
Learn to listen.
Here's a telling of "The Story of the Remote".
The image is from an earlier post wherein I show you part of the woman who speaks in this podcast
The upside of the dismal-looking and feeling foot situation is that she has a better way to flip her husband the bird.
She is my hero.
Her humor in the face of enormous pain astonishes and inspires.

Confessions :: PostSecret
I love PostSecret. It's a photocast. It's arte postale. It's a collaboration. It's a book: PostSecret: Extraordinary Confessions from Ordinary Lives
. Anybody can play. It has a life outside the digital realm.Do you have a particular quality that lets you get away with a lot of shit?
What are your secrets?
Would you be more honest if you could spill your secrets anonymously?
Have always thought one of the great things about Catholicism is its ritual of confession.
I feel better just thinking about finding and telling a secret.

I miss posting here in the throes of winter busy-ness, but wanted you to know I'm thinking of you. This image cried out to be posted here.
