I got my dog because an awful awful person who left the dog in their backyard while they move away—except they left him in the house so no one found him for days. I don’t understand how you could do such a thing. He’s like the best dog ever and is super chill and is up for either adventures or sleeping in the house…
Can the Massachusetts attendees throw their tea into a nearby body of water and just drink boxed Pinot Grigio instead? If yes, please sign me up.
I will host this amazing party.
Nothing, but it's just a little reminder. People really gloss over the racism of the first wave feminists, and as a black woman it's important to me that it's not ignored.
Can we wear costumes?
I’m bringing the tea cakes! (P.S. I want to give a shout-out to my Quaker women, giving us basic civil rights and such. You can really tell by Mott’s use of “Thee.” )
I think the banning sucks, but it’s been an opportunity to add fresh voices to the mix. The regular commentariat are great, but I enjoy seeing new ‘faces.’
Coffee is how we will start the meeting of course. Otherwise no one would be awake enough to enjoy the tea!
I’m in if I can bring coffee.
Yes. I love a cucumber sandwich and a slice of fig jam on Dubliner cheese with my tea.
Finger sandwiches are great, because you get to eat so many kinds of sandwiches. So yeah, sign me up. Oh, yeah, also feminism.
I always hit “show pending”, so it doesn’t matter if the person is greyed or not. I think fresh, engaging comments will be engaged with unless it’s like, 50+ comments down thread. It is true that the “first and funniest” gets the most traction (and I have an unfair advantage, I’m on summer vacation), but I think even…
I lived in a town with no animal control, the only option was to catch the dog yourself and take it to the police station. The police would not come out for a loose dog call (or an animal cruelty call). I’m pretty sure not everyone is idiot enough to convince an unknown, loose rottweiler to walk over to see the cops…
I thought chocolate too. But poor Lucretia. She was awesome too. It was just that living in a world where married women were property, the right to vote probably seemed so impossibly out of reach that she thought it would be foolish to even ask for it. I mean the other wishes were like allowing married women to keep…
The outcome from a tea party several days earlier,
I looked at those statues and thought.... I sure would love to know more about these people, and they really look like chocolate.
Hey, Elizabeth Cady Stanton. You’re still on my list of my “Problematic Heroines”! Remember how you were talmbout, “We educated, virtuous white women are more worthy of the vote” than Black men? And when you hit us with the “What will we and our daughters suffer if these degraded black men are allowed to have the…
This ladies were pretty kick ass, I mean other than Lucretia but every group has at least one Lucretia. In other news, did anyone else see these statues and think “mmm looks like chocolate”?
The best kind of tea party.
