Dangerous Coats

by Sharon Owens

Someone clever once said
Women were not allowed pockets
In case they carried leaflets
To spread sedition
Which means unrest
To you & me
A grandiose word
For commonsense
Fairness
Kindness
Equality
So ladies, start sewing
Dangerous coats
Made of pockets & sedition

This graphic was created by a follower of the Alt NPS not long after the Orange Shitgibbon took office the first time. The ANPS was then and will be now a beacon of truth, humor, and light. I highly recommend that all my friends follow them.

My husband, a federal employee, to his colleague while leaving work earlier this evening: “Well, I guess we’ll see what memos we get tomorrow.”

I’m trying to mold my account here into something like the FB of old, so here’s some news about my day: I spent the afternoon reading and giving feedback on a friend’s draft of what will be a brilliant memoir of gender transitioning.

Because fuck the haters sideways with a machete.

So here I am. Not because Sugarburg’s app quit fact-checking; that didn’t affect my feed. I’m here because I hope I can recreate the experience on FB back when it was good. That is, I just want to keep up with what’s going on in my friends’ lives, not meme after meme.
