I wouldn't mind impeaching Kavanaugh, just for variety.
Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I was so hopeful that a few of the court would be anti vaccine and would die of covid. Or at least have to retire due to its effects or something. Jesus.
I really don’t see how you can justify ending gay marriage though—once you’ve had it that gets so complex! That was part of the whole issue with Prop 8, no? And while different states can have different laws (ie some allow cousin marriage!) if you got married somewhere and then go to a state that doesn’t allow it, it’s too late, right? You’re already married. So it doesn’t even make sense? Like, even if Texas doesn’t allow gay marriage they’d have to recognize them? Or we’d end up with endless like “fine, I don’t recognize your Texas drivers license!”?

Sure, though I feel like Thomas should be first in line there. And his wife should be in jail.

Let's have just a little impeachment. As a treat.
I'm not sure what the grounds are for impeachment, but more than one of them (including Kavanaugh) lied during their confirmation hearings. Of course the current congress won't be doing that either.
fine, I don’t recognize your Texas drivers license!
We kind of already have that, though. But it could certainly get worse.
Matilda called a little while ago, sobbing so hard that I genuinely thought one of the campers had died, but, no, it was just the fucking SCOTUS. I feel like a failure; I wasn't very comforting, because I wasn't very surprised. I'm already thinking about what to do next and how, but I know it's all fresh and sickening and unimaginable for her and there's no room for anything but despair.
Fuck everything.
And Nathan pissed me off with that.
Seriously fuck everything.
My house is open to anyone needing an abortion. MD has protections in the state constitution and I have two spare bedrooms.
State houses are where everyone needs to work. The worst of the worst are running for state offices. Sister District is the best org to follow on this. My brother is also doing a run down of orgs to help on his IG Gary_knits_gary_rides. I guess I start phone banking every night next month. Text banking is pretty much dead for the immediate future.
I'm so glad I signed up to volunteer at Baltimore Abortion Fund weeks ago. Their vetting process is involved but I'm through it and have my training this week. Voting and donating money just isn't enough for me right now.

She has her entire fertility to live with this bullshit. I'm not surprised this came down today but I'm pretty sickened and it's unimaginable while mememe I'm in year 12 of perimenopause with five years of contraception jammed in my arm.
Not to mention how I feel for all people affected by this ruling. It's brutal.
And Nathan pissed me off with that.
How very white male of him. Because he never experienced that kind of treatment, it didn't happen to anyone else. He can kindly go forth and fuck himself.
Seriously fuck everything.
I'm with msbelle on this one.

CA is protected and I've got a couch. Eventually I will have room for the queen blow up mattress, but for now, I have a couch and good laws.
I came in here pissed because living in Joshua Tree means about 20 calls a day from unknown numbers that, when answered, have a long pause that give me a chance to just start with, "I am not interested in selling my home." They thank me by name and we end our relationship then and there.
At least we are down from 40-50 calls a day.
