We need all the support we can get, out here in red-stateland. The final count for my local march in Wyoming has come in, we had more than 600 marchers (and that’s saying something for a highly conservative, blue collar city of about 60,000!)^.^ I’m so excited and energized. I think when you’re blue in a red state,…

Which is doubly stupid, because the inauguration is a federal holiday in DC^.^

In my small city in Wyoming, we had over 500 marchers! I was so proud to be a part of it, even with my cane^.^

I misread “lilo’ as Lilo from ‘Lilo and Stitch’ and was about to be offended that you’d think of that sweet kid that way. Then I realized who you actually meant and agreed with you. I’d like to give you a star, but Kinja is being weird and when I star something it takes one away from the total!

I’m marching in here Wyoming too! I hope we have a good turnout, as do you!

I’m a progressive who has lived in Wyoming my whole life. Being a blue voter in such a red state is very disenheartening. Though I won’t give up and remain active in my local politics, it’s tough.

Wow! She sounds incredible! What adventures!

How about “Strictly Ballroom?” I saw it as a kid (a weird kid in wyoming in the early 90s), and it will forever be one of my very most favorite films.

I want to read this book!

*raises hand* Heere! I still struggle with being a good ally. I get excited in conversation and have a lot to say, so I’ev really been working on self-awareness and sitting back and shutting up. It’s hard, and sometimes I mess up. Intersectionality is super important to me because I’m disabled, and a lot of White…

I know that here in central Wyoming, the progressive are coming together, We have a common enemy now. I’ve been helping with the March on the 21st, as well. It’s really rough being blue in such a fucking red state, but we find each other and try to stick together!

Holy fucking shit, that was amazing! Thank you for adding the links, I’ll definitely be using them for ammo.

It’s called directional drilling! By doing it that way you can drill more wells, they go further, etc.

*My Dad is a retired BLM (beareau of land management) archaeologist here in Wyoming and has worked with both the tribes and the oil companies. ‘Haliburton’ is a swear word in my house.

My phrase is just, “we’re fucked, we’re so fucked,” in various tones of voice.

We’re so fucked.

This is really neat, but almost all douche ads were secretly advertising Lysol (for example. They weren’t the only brand of antiseptic douches) as a pregnancy preventative! Using coded language, they told women that douching with their product after sex would kill the ‘organic material.’ Here’s a neat overview!

That sounds awesome! I would read that book^.^

I’m in!

It’s real!? I always assumed it was a photoshop jobby. How cool!

Cholula, FTW!
