Yeah, I’m trying to figure this out, too. I’m an artist/student at the moment. On March 8th I have a college class that if I skip, will disadvantage only me. My husband won’t care if I opt not to do any housework or cooking — he’ll happily bring take-out — and I’m the only one who will be annoyed by any mess that…

Yeah, going to Macy’s (Detroit burbs) has turned into an experience like going to TJ Maxx for my mid-40s self. Every now and then I’ll dig through the clearance racks looking for decent quality basics or brands that interest me. Mostly, though, the store is sad. The plus size section looks like a poorly run rummage…

Yesterday I was walking my dog and passed what seemed to be a family getting out of their car and going to visit friends/relatives in my neighborhood. Laughter, happy greetings, etc. What stuck with me was that the two young girls in the family — maybe 8 and 11ish — were wearing pink pussyhats. The instant feeling of…

That’s why — even though it’s mean-spirited and inhumane —I want them to suffer from his policies as soon as possible. They won’t understand abstract ideas like kleptocracy, and they’ll still blame the left when things start to go wrong, but when their parents can’t afford their medication, their kids’ schools slalom…

Upgrade that to “incredibly stupid and desperate” and I’d agree with you. I will never pity him. He seems to be a goofy marionette controlled by those around him, easily influenced to say whatever gets him approval and/or money, but he also thinks women are objects, people of color are irrelevant at best, and laws…

I am so, so fucking happy to see his latest tantrums, in which the reality that he’s the President of the United States and not a beloved, omnipotent, supersexy, brilliant gazillionaire seems to be nudging his doughy behind. Top position in the country and 4s can still protest against you wearing pink hats while…

I’m an artist, so this is interesting for the times I’m trying to sketch or carve and there’s an inconvenient shadow. But to repeat, I’m an artist, so that price needs to come down a bit.

I’m a race-loving, car-loving, Detroit-metro gal, but I usually bite my tongue on Jalopnik because I know I’m out of my depth here. And besides, it could have been a ‘Cuda or a Pontiac....

Let’s be fair! Maybe we’ve missed something.

9.6 miles that day. Boo-yah! *spikes her ACLU sign*

The Michigan bills weren’t cast aside; they passed the House and are currently in the hands of the Senate Commerce committee. Sharing a summary I just wrote up for another space:

Yes! Some people may just participate for vanity purposes. If that gets them out, if that gets them to vote, if that gets them to carry the message on their omg-so-supercute shirts, that’s more than they might have done before. Bottom line: they turned up and were counted.

Well, ok . They made me feel sad, they made me feel my loss again, they made me feel like an outsider to the sisterhood, they made me feel like we as a society still connect the biological ability to carry a child with womanhood in a way that we as feminists say we do not... yet act as if we do.

I was at the march in DC. I took lots of photos. Most of the people in the photos appear to be white, just as most are women. I went through last night and counted, guessing that photos I took by thrusting up my arm in the middle of the march and snapping whatever the lens could see in several directions might be…

I’m so sick of this response. Did you read any of the signs? Check out the March website or social media? Ask anyone? If you got a multitude of answers, that’s simply because there are a multitude of issues.

Met some Jezzies near a big pumpkin (not that one) then went over to join the Michigan group. Senator Stabenow was there, Senator Peters was there earlier. Guess they got the invitation letters I sent! (Yes I did, no I don’t think I made the difference. ) Now I’m freezing my rear on a stone wall as more marchers…

Even though those same misogynist assholes (including women) say that Hillary not divorcing Bill is one of her major faults.

Ffs, when will Ivanka find the time to add a tie tack to her shitty jewelry line so they can peddle it to the masses?

I’ve seen a lot of deep purple hair dye on traveling marchers today, including a lot of older women rocking purple streaks against grey and white hair. Love it!
