Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

I wouldn't mind impeaching Kavanaugh, just for variety.

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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Let's have just a little impeachment. As a treat.

Our wings are not tired.

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

fine, I don’t recognize your Texas drivers license!

We kind of already have that, though. But it could certainly get worse.

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

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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

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.

Punishingly Intricate

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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

but I know it's all fresh and sickening and unimaginable for her and there's no room for anything but despair.

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.

My house is open to anyone needing an abortion. MD has protections in the state constitution and I have two spare bedrooms.

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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

it's unimaginable while mememe I'm in year 12 of perimenopause with five years of contraception jammed in my arm.

My 76-year-old mom put it best: it doesn't matter if a woman can bear a child or not, because they see all women as nothing more than incubators. That's all we're reduced to, and it's abhorrent.

At least we are down from 40-50 calls a day.

Our neighborhood is a hot one, real estate-wise, but I put the phone on silent while I'm working, until about 7 p.m., and they tend to not leave voicemails. We do get annoying letters in the mail from property flippers who want to buy Stately Beckmeyer Manor, and it ain't gonna happen. We could never buy or even rent for what our mortgage payment is right now. (Tim is all "We should pay the mortgage off!!!" and I have to counter with "Our APR is low and fixed-rate! We need to shove money into our retirement funds while the market is down!")

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Today some instructors I support were being . . . challenging about providing stuff I needed to finish up this week's tasks, and I really wanted to tell them, "You're standing between me and drinking until I can't pronounce 'Supreme Court'. That's not a good place for you to be right now." But professionalism prevailed.
