New from Allegheny County: federal funding freeze could affect more than $500 million for the county, including cuts to public health, crime victims, “catastrophic cuts to Human Services”

“These orders as directed so far are designed to maximize cruelty, chaos, and suffering.”

Is there a way to crowdsource + track the number of hrs American workers waste responding to heinous + confusing executive orders + presidential memos over the next 4 years? And the cost, both in terms of staff time + lost productivity?

If there’s a way to track the emotional toll, that too. 😐

Remember: if you know someone who's undocumented, no you fucking don't. If you know someone who's getting/got an abortion, no you fucking don't.

Mind your own business.

What albums are getting you through this bad time?

I’ll go first. Live Through This by Hole (1994) has the title, tone and substance I need right now. If you need to dispense of some bad energy, I highly recommend screaming along to “Violet” in your car.

Yes. If you see “moderate” on a straight man’s dating profile it means he voted for Trump but knows he can’t say that because he’ll get no matches.
Asking men up front what their politics are means less flirty banter but it does save me from learning on the third date that “I’m more of a free thinker” means he believes that certain races can’t reproduce together or something.

the trump campaign was literally bought and paid for by the wealthiest people on the planet — openly! — and dim-witted pundits are going on about how voters are tired of "elitist democrats"

My phone just auto corrected "trauma dumping" to "trauma dumpling," so I painted this in case anyone would like a visual of my mental state.

How's everyone else doing?

I can already tell that my depression-fueled post-election “treat yourself” attitude is going to meaningfully boost Trump’s economy, and for that I am truly sorry.

We got a number of reports of voter intimidation amid early voting in Allegheny County, PA.

If you are experiencing voter intimidation wherever you are, the nonpartisan voter protection hotline is 866-OUR-VOTE.

And if you in PA, you can also call 833-PA-VOTES
my dad’s a poll worker and was telling me about the belligerent maga types showing up. this will definitely be a thing on tuesday.

Stop trying to make ‘fetch’ happen. It’s not going to happen.

Don’t know where this came from but I think it might be the poster from a John Hughes movie.

As long as we’re saying the quiet part out loud, I think there should be a domestic abuse hotline at the end of these ads. Because if you don’t feel safe disagreeing with your partner about politics, that’s what it is.

It is not normal for women to get sepsis. It is not normal to force children to give birth. It is not normal to watch women get sicker and sicker and have the law determine when they're ill enough to warrant care.

We are human beings & these laws treat us like trash

It’s 60 degrees this morning and I’m relishing non-sweaty time in the garden. The first two -ber months are better than July and August! 🌱💕
