The three things in my political life that I am most proud of (so far):

About once a week, I grill up a bunch of chicken gizzards as a special treat for the 8 to 10 feral cats I feed. In the cold months, this typically happens on the warmest day of the week.

Today was their lucky day.

All of this. Every last brilliant word.
From my new post-election essay, in which I have a LOT of people on my Yelling List.

Basically everybody. Even myself.

I made a meme to share on profiles of misogynistic men saying “Your body, my choice.” Then I plastered it all over Nick Fuentes’s Facebook page.

Trying hard not to dive into conspiracies, but something has definitely seemed fishy about the election results.
We're supposed to believe that there were record voter registrations but low voter turnout?

Something stinks.
