That news item makes me ill on behalf of all the women in South Dakota (and, no doubt, eventually the other 49). Thank God both my senators voted against both Roberts and Alito, though this means I can't even call their offices and bitch them out about it, and I know from sorry experience that politicians in other states tend to not give a shit when they get angry calls and letters from outlanders.
Kaylee: Is that him? Mal: That's the buffet table. Kaylee: Well how can we be sure, unless we question it?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

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

Is that anything like a buffalo stance?

The snotty way that my Senators have responded to my emails and letters indicates that they give less than a shit about the concerns of my particular blueberry in this sea of tomato soup that is Texas.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
ostrich stance.
Which in a few years will be replaced by the lemming stance. Or maybe 'rats deserting a sinking ship' stance.

my mind is boggling at the thought of how small the population of SD is. I'm so used to big cities.
Driving through it, the number surprises me not at all. It's very empty.

What's odd to me is how many people I know from SD.

What's odd to me is how many people I know from SD.
They are noisy about it or so many flee. That's my rationale for running into people from my hometown all over. It would work for SD too. Actually, both those explain how I know the particular cousin mentioned earlier. She left SD, landed in my hometown, ran into my mom because of a shared name, discovered they were related, etc. After her divorce she left my hometown to go back to SD. So that's like this whole weird circular black hole of small worldness.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
The "moral" of that story is Run! Get that abortion! Faster! Now!
Which is why there will surely be pennyroyal planted in my garden.
For me to use, you know, before they burn me at the stake for being a witch.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I just keep thinking that the in the long run, the ultra-conservative policies are leading to a large, poor, dis-enfranchised, potentially armed population.
