Hil, I'm terribly tempted to send you some chair cushions for you to pointedly give to your female relatives. Of course, given what you have said about family politics, the gesture is likely to go over like a lead balloon.

Oh, I've done way worse than that. There have been a few times I've switched all the pronouns in the Haggadah so that G-d gets female pronouns. Pretty much whatever I do gets an "Aww, look at the cute little feminist" reaction. So it's mostly just for my own amusement.

When we're setting the table and serving and stuff, I've mostly started responding to every, "Hillary, come help in the kitchen," by telling my cousin, "Come on, Dave, they need our help." My mom knows exactly what I'm doing and rolls her eyes at me, but Dave will get up and help.

I think Australian laws must be different than those in the US, because I don't remember billytea mentioning that he had to register Ryan as a lethal weapon.

WHEN BABIES ARE OUTLAWED, ONLY OUTLAWS WILL HAVE BABIES!!

You, ma'am, is good.

at Passover, we're supposed to sit on cushions because we're free now and not slaves.

I never heard of this tradition!

Women sit on uncushioned chairs and serve the meal.

But I've heard of this.

And I'm deeply worried that "human rights" mostly don't include in them "woman's rights".

Oh, Beth, I'm so sorry for you and Matt. Much love to you and Andycat's loss.

Shir, this has been so hard for you. You are a good doggie mom and are doing the best you can. Hugs.

{{smonster}} I'm glad you're doing what's best for you.

Ryan continues to kill ded with teh cute.

Hil, I presume I think you need not just one orange, but lots of oranges on the Seder plate. I think on the Seder plate the oranges should outnumber the rest of the food. And beat up it up. OK, going back to work now.

{{{beth and matt}}}

Aw crud. (Goes off to hug Harvey and Sammie)

{{{beth & matt}}} {{{{shir}}} (even if he is feeling better, still stressful and agonizing.)

I finally gave in and got a referral for PT for the foot i broke more than 3 months ago. Wish i had asked for it a month ago.

ION, i finally saw _Stardust_ Sat night and now have the can can music on endless loop through my head, enhanced with visions of robert deniro in drag fluttering his eyelashes through a pink feathered fan.

Happy 90th US Voting Anniversary, Female Bitches!!

Happy 90th US Voting Anniversary, Female Bitches!!

Not a headline you'd see at too many newspapers.

Well of course not because it appears that I am wrong. 19th Amendment was ratified on 8/26/1920.

What the hell is today, then? Fuck.

t stomps off to find something important that happened today that has to do with women.
