Somehow, despite being scheduled, this did not post back in November…. so, well, I’ll put a bit of an update at the end.
I was vaguely optimistic, though a bit frightened disappointed last time. This time, I’m terrified.
It’s not a joke. It’s not overreacting.
Teenaged boys are chanting “Your Body, My Choice” at their classmates. Republicans aren’t even lying about Project 2025 anymore.
I called my OB-GYN to schedule a conversation about permanent options. I have an IUD and I am afraid it will not be enough, or I won’t be able to get the next one. I weigh too much for Plan B.
All of my friends are at risk under the hate they are spewing. All Of Them. As hate-filled lawmakers begin to line up their hate-filled legislative agendas. As hate-filled people see that their hate is publicly acceptable, so says the majority of voters.
I’m not going to talk about coming together, we did that. I’m not going to talk about going forth with love and understanding, they don’t care.
I just want to say that we can’t give up. The fight continues. Take a breath and feel your feelings, but don’t give up. We lost this battle, but we can keep fighting the war.
Update as time has passed:
Hate filled legislation is flowing freely through my state legislature and he’s not even President, yet. The musk ox is legislating from X and people are listening.
And I have surgery scheduled to remove my tubes in mid-January.
I’m not giving up, but I am doing what I can to protect myself.
