This is horrifying. Thank you for laying it all out. I’m going to print this out, do some research and follow up with my reps about their thoughts/actions regarding the possible cuts and the damage this will do in nearly every community in the states.

Good! I’m glad to hear that you had support. I had a friend who was more upset about her pet’s death than her fathers and she was seriously flayed alive by her family. Like you, she’d prepared for his death for many years and felt like it was a huge relief not just for herself, but for him.

THIS BRINGS ME GREAT JOY

Pretty sure Banon’s goal is to eliminate the reps, the dems, congress, etc.

This would be a beautiful cut/paste email to send to your local representatives. You’re a good writer.

There are amazing and I hope they are real.

I love glass empty folks and really wish I could be more like that (I think it’s more realistic).

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?????

Dude.

Agreed. It’s going to take a lot. I live in a pretty progressive part of the world but even I’m getting tired of even leaving the house for anything other than work and exercise because of some of the things I’m hearing in the most innocuous places (like waiting in line for coffee).

I believe they take something called a “week end” several times a month. Very strange.

I cackle in joy when I see all the beautiful babies all around me who don’t look like what Steve Kings wants the future to look like.

Those “lawyers” are repulsive.

Jesus Christ.

Why are you so awesome? Never leave.

Your bar friend? Not your friend. That is a horrible person and nothing he/she says can redeem them, ever, for what they said. You deserve wayyyyy better, trust me. And if you can’t find it in your day to day life, please come back here as often as you need. Trolls and some insensitive commentators aside, this is one…

Oh, damn you.

Maybe the symbolism inspires the people who understand the references to continue working towards keeping the right to choose legal.

I have so little patience for people who are upset that someone else isn’t grieving “properly”. It really hits a raw nerve for me. I’m sorry that anyone ever approached you on that topic.

Thanks for this.
