I couldn’t follow a word of their coverage of the FBI search of Trump’s home — At this point, I am not only questioning my intellectual capacity but also my sanity, since I actually dared turn on Fox News at prime time. What was I thinking? Well, my curiosity got the best of me. I just had to take a peek, a quick little in-and-out look…

I keep telling people a huge storm is brewing, and we angry-as-bleep women are going to overwhelm all of you pro-life hypocrites — I listened to all the pundits talking about Kansas in the lead up to this vote on August 2, 2022. I listened to all the usual stuff about how there is always low turnout in primary elections. I listened to how the ballot measure regarding abortion was confusing and hard…

I have to crash this party and spoil the fun…since I wasn’t invited in the first place — When it was announced that Senator Chuck Schumer and that Dem-who-Dems-love-to-hate Senator Manchin had struck a deal, I was smiling of course. Mostly I was smiling for two reasons. First, if I were so inclined, I could have trotted out a mild “I told you so” in regard to Manchin…

Even as I tried to hide from myself, my celebrity crushes still chased me down and outed me to myself — The Prism & Pen writing prompt “My Queer Movie Crush” almost had me jumping up and down and doing a dance. This is a subject I had always wanted to write about, but never felt I had a good excuse to actually do it. After all, it is an odd…

Should we laugh or should we cry…or should we just smoke some pot? — The story goes that if you drop a frog in boiling water (sorry Kermit), he would immediately leap out. If, instead, you drop a frog in tepid water and slowly turn up the heat, he will just sit there until he boils to death (really sorry Kermit). Play a game…

Power-hungry white men who wove a web of coldly calculated manipulation — It may surprise you to learn that the founding of the so-called “pro-life” movement really had less to do with anger over abortion and more to do with anger over a court ruling against segregated, white-only, tax-exempt religious schools. Yes, I know, that sentence seems to make no sense at…

Biden is playing by “rules” that have never existed, and I have to ask why — Did you know that Abraham Lincoln “packed” the Supreme Court? Did you know he expanded it? Did you know that he did all of this for blatantly partisan reasons and a blatantly partisan purpose? In the face of the dishonest and manipulative court-packing by President Trump and Senator McConnell, what…

An abortion ban is the government committing a physical assault on women — I watched so-called “pro-life” people celebrating, cheering, smiling, grinning, all so very happy about Roe v. Wade being overturned. I saw young women sobbing with tears of terror and anger and horror and fear about Roe v. Wade being overturned. You so-called “pro-life” people are celebrating in the face of…

There are people out there who love you, care about you and are determined to help you access an abortion, and will never stop — Government be damned. The Court has ruled, officially, that women are second class citizens and that as far as the Constitution is concerned, rapists and fetuses stand above women. Women occupy the bottom rung of the ladder. It is official because the Supreme Court issued their decree making it so…
