Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

ita, I think I need to start taking Krav. I expect that I may have to go to war to insist that I am a person.

Art Crawl!!!

Aimee -- she's is but she isn't approving of it, you know?

Why should the entire rest of the country listen to a state as sparsely populated as South Dakota? In what way do they represent me? I'm in the heartland too, you know.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Like Allyson is a person. As if.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Aimee -- she's is but she isn't approving of it, you know?

Now that I've reread, yeah. I get what she's saying. My comprehension has been shot to hell.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I expect that I may have to go to war to insist that I am a person.

If only we had defenses against those sorts of attackers. Grenades are easier.

Aimée, I knew a woman years ago in Alabama who had to share her parental rights with the sack of shit who had date-raped her AND been previously issued a restraining order after an arrest outside of her house. The lesson: stay the hell out of family courts in redneck states.

That sound you just heard? Was my cousin exploding in rage and frustration in Sioux Falls. She's been working hard against this.

Geez, and here I thought that sound was the entire US leaping back in time to the early 20th century.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I do think it's likely that Roe v Wade will be reversed. And wondering how moderate Republicans plan to spin their voting for Alito.

Couldn't help but notice this:

The Planned Parenthood clinic in South Dakota has performed about 800 abortions a year.

If the state has already created such a hostile environment for abortions that there are only 800 performed a year, access for most women in the state has already been cut off.
