Yeah, the VERY few Trump supporters on my FB are having apoplectic RAGE strokes. Most of them are threatening to quit FB because they feel so attacked. Awwww, someone needs a safe space, a binkie and nap.
What I loved about these marches is that everyone brought their own signs instead of holding identical signs issued by the organizers. That’s something about rallies and demonstrations that has really annoyed me in recent years. With mass-printed signs, it’s not just the waste of brand-new paper that bothers me, it’s…
Totally! I have to share one of the most poignant moments I witnessed yesterday that involved a man. I was in Boston, like right smack-dab in the middle of the crowd. Next to me was a man with two daughters, an infant and maybe 5 or 6 year old. He worked to make sure his baby felt comfortable and entertained while…
I was incredibly sad and disappointed I couldn’t go - but my facebook was full of pictures of friends at protests in Sydney, Melbourne, and London.
My Dad and I had wanted to go to the march in Newport, OR (closet one to where we live), but he wasn’t feeling well (he has meniere’s disease) and I needed to help him around. However, I was pleased to see that ~1500 people had made it.
To give you context, the county only has ~47,000 people, so that means 3% of the…
I was almost not going to post this one because it reduced me to tears and my friend is threatening to take my laptop away from me unless I go to sleep, and I don’t want to put you guys through everything I’m dealing with.

Saw this at the Chicago match today.
My absolute favorite from Indy. This woman had literal tiny doll hands and she was waving them in time to the music and using them to clap with.
My husband and daughter in DC today; we drove up from Florida!
I particularly like the hand-holes. This woman has done this before.
Grass can be very informative. It is like....the internet...for dogs.
My FB feed is divided between people who attended a march somewhere, and the few Trumpkins I haven’t unfollowed posting passive-agressive memes. The butthurt over how the march attendance in DC alone dwarfed the inauguration is delicious.
I was there today too and can concur. It was so beautiful it made my heart hurt. One (of many) highlight(s) for me was listening to a dad explain to his son why we were marching: “it’s so that women know that they’re not alone, that their voices are heard, and that they have support from lots of different kinds of…
I live in a country where companies are forced to pay a liveable (barely though, it hasn’t gone up with the rate of inflation) minimum hourly rate to employees, and tipping is just not a thing. I don’t tip delivery drivers or my (expensive, owns her own salon) hairdresser, but I do tip taxi drivers and waiters at…
It’s that whole “it’s the Bride’s day” thing that really fucks everything all to hell. It’s the couple’s day, and little Mitsy needs to check her attitude at the door. If I was told to shave my beard for the wedding, I’d make damned sure to avoid all contact with anyone involved in the wedding for at least six months,…
I saw an episode of What Would You Do? once, where these people were standing outside with Donald Trump signs, and no one was punching them in the face. Well, I certainly wasn’t going to be the guy on TV who walked by these people and didn’t punch them in the face. I think I’ll come off well when they air it.
