Ohhh but this will be fun. "Okay, and it's also time to give Washington D.C. back to those who built it! Or else."

so turn on a Magic Faucet to dispense that Ten Trillion Dollars around so that any of us can afford fucking rent, utilities, childcare, eldercare, and medical treatment. let alone gas and groceries

And: what LP ought you to pair it with...?
(my friend who does these isn't on bluesky, sadly. but i could ask him for suggestions)

me too omg. a week or few back, when U2's Edge finally became Irish citizen at the age of 63??! my 1st thought was "oooh goody i can't wait to hear what.... they.... say about it on.... WAAAAH"
as painful reality slammed me all over again😭😭😭 Thank you for this!!! #Jáinne #PaperCutsShow 4eva ❤️🦄👏🏼

it's how we say it over here in New England. "Mirander Sawyah". Ayup

takes too much suspension-of-disbelief to imagine either of them being capable of this wholly unknown emotion of "shame" 🫠 but LOL anyway

i've had a lifelong aversion to that "just think how much worse some people have it" b.s.
it's meant to make us say "oh i should be grateful and not complain" but instead just makes us feel twice as bad 💩

oh that's a comforting thought! They'll learn about him in history class, of course, because we'll keep working and make sure genuine U.S. History is restored by then✊🏼 My best wishes & congratulations for your grandbaby's safe & joyous arrival, and everybody's good health! Happy 4th!💙🇺🇸🙌🏼

p.s. grateful for all the men who step up to use their privilege to support our rights. It does help. Thank you.

that banning abortion does not stop abortion. It doesn't even reduce it. It just makes it dangerous and deadly. Newborn abandonment skyrockets; now that DNA tracing is putting women in jail for abandoning babies decades ago, we are even more imprisoned by our own biology ♀️⛓️

i'm a middle-aged childless cat lady who has never been pregnant. This issue hasn't applied to me personally in my entire life. But cognitive dissonance drives me up the wall. Thanks for reading 🤗

if you truly care about saving lives: you wholeheartedly support universal safe access to birth control, universal safe access to abortion, universal free/subsidized childcare for working parents. All else is hypocrisy. We are tired tired tired tired tired of explaining

that no matter how skilled we get at achieving that goal, there will always be pregnancies (wanted, unwanted, realized or not) that must be purposely ended to save the life of the pregnant person or because the fetus is not viable

that we all want the same thing: prevent unwanted pregnancies, ensure every child is wanted & treasured;

Missouri abortion rights amendment trumps most restrictions, judge rules • Missouri Independent Abortion services will resume in Missouri following a court ruling blocking enforcement of almost all of the state’s restrictive laws.

✊♀️🥳
And of course the pro-fetalists will push back. It's so difficult to keep patiently explaining over and over and over and over again

that's insane. $4/gal here in much of metrowest MA - of which 27¢ is tax - CA has more than double that, at 59.6¢/gal correct? The #1 highest gas tax in the US. What ARE they spending it on?!

much safer than Viagra, Cialis, and their ilk; all of which undoubtedly contribute to many unwanted pregnancies and men ought to be compelled to obtain only by flying out-of-state on fundraiser-supported emergency helicopters

happy 2nd birthday to the late lamented lavishly-loved laudably-laugh-inducing ‪@papercutsshow 🎂 whose June 5th pilot pod I've just relistened to; found it every bit as fun as if I were hearing it for the 1st time! 🤣🩷 Of course, my memory being shite nowadays that's usually the case anyhoo.
