📣 Indiana lawmakers are trying to change the rules mid-game—cheating.
Mid-cycle redistricting would waste $30,000/day just to let politicians pick their voters.

That’s why we need Speaker Huston to commit: NO redistricting special session.
☎️ Call now → MADVoters.org/call-huston

🚨 JD Vance is flying into Indy to talk gerrymandering with Gov. Braun — 5 years early. They want a special session to rig the maps again. Indiana already has a GOP supermajority. They want more. Be at the Statehouse this Thursday 8/7. We need to be loud. #NoCheatersInDemocracy #IndianaPolitics

It's set to be voted on in a few minutes. This graphic is @madvoters.bsky.social's CTA for today. After it passes (which it will because our senate is full of racists) it moves to the house. CALL YOUR REP TO STOP THIS BILL. #INLeg #INGov #IndianaPolitics
An image about SB 289 to call your Senator to stop the bill. The text includes a screen shot of the bill description and what the bill means: Prohibits the funding of DEI programs, officers, and initiatives at state agencies, state universities, and health professional licensing boards. Requires Indiana's school corporations, charter schools, state agencies, and political subdivisions to publicly post all training and curricular materials related to topics such as diversity, equity, inclusion, race, ethnicity, sex, and bias on their websites, with specific details about the materials' origins and accessibility. This would restrict or even eliminate training, activities, policies, and curriculum that explore allyship, antiracism, intersectionality, social justice, privilege, bias, race, diversity, and gender.

Thunderstorms in February? In Fort Wayne? Global warming is definitely a problem, but at least the weather map is rocking trans pride colors tonight. 🏳️‍⚧️✨

A weather map of northeastern Indiana. The colors of the weather are that of the trans-flag - light purple, pink, and light teal blue.

I’m going to start sharing some of my Instagram stories as images on here for a beat and see how I like it.

Enjoy the first one, a #cat and his love of the two wormy sticks.
A black and white tuxedo cat at the top of carpeted stairs next to two different wand cat toys. Text overlaying the image in black background with white words says, “Every night, Parker (& sometimes Sadie) brings his two favorite toys upstairs. They are the same toy (they have two and they are wand toys with a wormy on the end. He drags a full ass stick up the stairs. Every. Night. Sometimes he brings them to my bed, sometimes he brings them to me when I'm pooping. He loves these toys. But I swear to God I am going to die from these toys blocking the stairs in the middle of the night.”

It’s #sticker day! Here’s the current layout of my laptop case. I told myself in 2024 that I would stop hoarding my stickers- so I started putting them on my laptop case. I still have a thick stack to find room for, but these are definitely some of my current favorites.

The last two and a half years have been a wild ride figuring out why my insides suck. But one thing I’m thankful everyday for is this cute lil IUD. This workhorse makes it so my cycles are lighter (now none at all!) It makes my cramps and bloating less likely to happen.

Also I don’t even have a recent picture of me at a computer other than this one - and really this is the ~*real*~ Jessica
Picture of Jessica in front of two monitors that show she is on a zoom call. Jessica is frowning.

From 2006 to 2024- still typing stupid things on the internet.
