No, you are not. I do not begrudge anyone their celebrating. I don’t have their exuberance. but I share your relief.

I hope that you’re able to get up and running again!

I did not anticipate watching her take the stage meaning so much to me. Then I was crying. An actual fucking woman was making her VP victory speech. My DIL texted me that she was doing the same. This is the kind of me too we deserve. May there be many more.

This is why I’m feeling like we lost already. 

“Sometime around 4 this afternoon I imagine I will get ravenously hungry and stand in my kitchen eating slices of cheese.”

My town’s redneck facebook page is awaiting “liberals breaking your windows to steal your thanksgiving turkeys” or some such nonsense. Like I want their fuckin turkey.

Thank you.

I voted absentee via email!  I am out of the country. They make the process so very easy and I even got a nice message from my town clerk letting me know that my ballot was received and it all looked ok.

FWIW, I did not do well on the pill. I found the perimenopausal HRT (estrogen & progesterone) nothing like it. Honestly, it saved me. I was a disembodied ghost of myself and I didn’t even know how bad it was until I came out of that fog. I was on it for 2 years. I’m still perimenopausal but I no longer need the…

Thank you.  

Anyone who wants things “back to normal” is also ignoring this- That “normal” is how we got here in the first place.

It’s easy to be this cavalier when you have access to unlimited testing, private physicians and expensive, experimental treatments. This is 21st century “Let them eat cake”.  

Not for nothing but I have a pile of pre-adolescent, tween and teen nieces and nephews who understand completely.  Willful ignorance is at play here.

If I didn’t judge myself for it... If I didn’t judge myself for it...

And her stated rationale is bull shit. Her refusal to answer basic questions in her hearing and the fact that she’s only been a judge for 3 years is enough to vote no.
