Reads (mostly genre romance). Crafts. Rabble rouses. Rants. She/her. Doesn't look like Rita Hayworth. Sweary. Blocks with abandon.

*Everything* is politics.

Everything those fuckers touch withers and dies, including democracy.

"There are some countries around the world in which fewer than one quarter rule for their own purposes but they’re not very good countries, never mind not the United States."

A reason to break the government is to convince the public that privatization will "save" those services--when in fact, it would just cost you more and be worse.

Example: social security administration/Medicaid/Medicare.

Trump's latest loyalty test: banning the Associated Press from Oval Office access with the rest of the White House Press Corps, because AP has not bend the knee (they are not misnaming the Gulf of Mexico). The rest of the "free" press of the U.S.? already licking ass.

Fingers crossed it remains very mild and leaves no sequelae.

An Indiana public library is moving 1300 young adult titles to the adult section--making them unavailable to the readers the books were written for, many of whom need those books to survive their lives.

The library is spending over $300,000 just to deny teens the right to read books written for and about them.

Found via Joshua P. Hill on twitter: "I think a lot of us who grew up in this era where unions have been weakened literally don’t know that strong unions can do stuff like reverse you getting fired. And we should."

So-called "pregnancy crisis centers"; are pro-forced pregnancy spaces that pretend to be medical clinics and are design to attract people who are exploring their abortion options, in order to both brainwash them against abortion and take up previous time before the deadline for the procedure hits. They tend to get millions in tax dollars all over the U.S.
