I feel fine, I’m past the sniffles and sneezing phase. All hail the vaccine! I had my booster in May so I’m sure it helped me. Part of me wants to mask up today and go up to DC to the Supreme Court. I don’t know if I should, I’m still paranoid about being contagious (my quarantine period ends today). I hope they have another nationwide protest, couldn’t make it to the one yesterday for obvious reasons.
Man I’m so angry. Yesterday I raged over text with a new friend. It’s that feeling of utter helplessness I hate. Honestly, the last time I felt like this was maybe 9/11 and on January 6th. I give to Planned Parenthood monthly and gave to PP of Maryland yesterday but it feels like I should do more. I’ve never had an abortion. I’ve used emergency contraception, went to PP for well women visits and HIV testing. I just always liked the knowledge that if I needed an abortion, I could get one (not that I ever took my freedom for granted). I’m well past that stage, entering my “crone” years but I have a 17 year old stepdaughter who I want to have the same freedoms that I had.
Because we all fear what comes next, marriage equality, hell, even birth control. One person I follow on twitter advocated for leaving the U.S. Sure dickwad, I’ll get right on it! A few of us called him out for the privilege in his statement. I think he’s an expat so sure, it’s probably easy to just up and leave if you have the means. I started following this woke dude bro because he’s a retired Marine officer and he is a staunch advocate for equality in the ranks for women. Someone said that by leaving, you leave others to fight the system and then the commenter said something about how this is what Malcolm X meant about white liberals. Ha, I love it. I noticed the dude bro didn’t reply to that.
