A Penny For My Poem? Love, Nancy Pelosi
links, thoughts, general strike now, where to give money, etc
Greetings everyone.
I’m just here rippin my slowly dwindling supply of Juuls (guess it’s gateway drug time and I’ll be switching to guns when the juice runs out) while the dulcet sounds of Nancy Pelosi reading a poem to commemorate the conclusion of decades long successful organizing to criminalize abortion cocoons me, just like the vape cloud.
Everything is fine. I haven’t tweeted yet about it being just like the Handmaid’s Tale yet, so at least personally things are looking up. Oh a new email, it’s the DNC asking for money. Apparently it’s urgent and we have to hit the voting booths harder than ever before? This is inspiring. I’m going to put the poem on loop and fork over some bucks to the machine that has so deeply failed us.
Yeah baby!
The poem is now on loop and I’m thinking about what a good idea the Supreme Court is. Yeah…this one makes sense. I can’t wait to vote for them! Oh? We don’t vote for them? Right. Ok then. You better believe these old motherfuckers are here to stay and hanging on by their last gasping breaths to deny us control over our own bodies and embolden the state to make those decisions for us! Biden? Wanna add some seats? Put a term limit in there? Nothing? Ok then let’s take a few minutes to remember the legacy of RBG <3
Here’s an old cartoon made for Kavanaugh:
Ok, ok. Processing, trying to, failing, spiraling, you get it (see below cartoon). Here are some hopefully helpful things, feel free to send more my way.

Really nice things to read:

One of the only things that has made me truly, completely laugh recently and everytime I think about it it gets me again oh my GOD help
