JFC, that’s one of the worst things I’ve ever heard. (Not that it took you a while to leave, i mean his behavior in the circumstance). So glad you’re with us.

Want! So fun and gorgeous. And I last wore make up in 1997.

I’m starring you for doing all this for yourself! Excellent!

:) Thanks! I really appreciate the advice. That makes sense.

This is horrible. I want to do something in addition to donating. I wanted to go out there and literally stand with Standing Rock but I’m not hearing a current call to do that, only a call for money and goods. Would your sister advise that?

A toast to you and this drink!

Ugh, awful but better than that. I am sorry to hear you have such difficult choices to make. I hope you can find a decent compromise.

That’s so fucking horrible.

No, they don’t care about the intimidation by their base - but they do care about votes and public opinion. I think calling and emailing still matter, even if they can tell it’s from a registered democrat. Not sure though, kinda pessimistic right now.

So, so done with this.

omg. I hope you are building a wonderful family-of-choice and have lots of support.

Hmmm...I could pass a background check if I need to. I will let everyone know what happens next SNS in terms of the vetting and training.

Yeah, I’m thinking of assisting with organizing and administrative tasks like finding the protest/march sites, getting permits, updating the event site on Facebook, other PR, etc. I canvased door-to-door for Hills and downticket dems (still am) and my feet are killing me. I think marches are not going to be my thing.

Oh, and another thing, if you are not a volunteer with your state democrats you can still sign up. Today we were working on validating challenged ballots for close down ticket races that have not yet been called. It’s frustrating work but it could change a few legislative seats. Deadline is November 29th to get…

I just signed up today to be a public library homework helper. I live in the middle of a triangle of libraries in a criminally underfunded school district, serving the most marginalized kids. I’ve been saying I’m going to do it for a year and this got me going.

We must unite under the tribe of Lindy West!

I’m childless too but I’m begging you not to take it out on public schools or library levies, that hurts kids of color more than anyone. How ‘bout some other levy they try to pass?

Thanks for this link - they have plus sizes! I’ve been here before and couldn’t find plus sizes and I was so pissed I thought my head would explode.

It is not just the right of every citizen but the duty to fight, protest, assemble, and petition for process and policy changes and improvements. That is the only way elected leaders will represent the needs and will of the people and not just themselves once they take office. That’s always been particularly crucial…
