kittydesadeAnd I had such a good day at school today.
Y'all know what happened but for posterity I will put it that Ruth Bader Ginsberg died and a huge portion of the US went up in angry flames or washed away in floods of panicked tears. Some people probably both at once. Personally I'm in a very stabby mood, I was already talking about making shield walls at protests and now I'm just... nngh.
But I did have a good day at tech school today. I took my anger and I painted a nice birb on a watercolor postcard sheet and submitted the text on the back to Postcards to Voters, so that's a thing that's definitely going to happen. I'm going to try and get some fiction written tonight but tomorrow I'm just going to send out a bunch of cards and small letters with doodles and washi tape and other cute things, so if you want some nice mail in a few days (one hopes, heh heh fuck deJoy too) leave me your address, I'll put comment screening on. And... we'll see.
Point(s) to remember that I'm being reminded of right now: if the 8 person court deadlocks the ruling of the lower court stands. The odds of Jackass being able to ram through a justice right now are... I don't know what they are? But I keep seeing good arguments back and forth, so let's not rule out all hope just yet. I'm hearing that Amy McGrath is too far under to unseat McFuckturtle right now, so if you want to donate to Senate races Mark Kelly is a good bet it sounds like, and my state could use yeeting Tillis so Cal Cunningham is the person to donate to, and I'm sure there are half a dozen others. This, to keep in mind that there is no set number of justices for the Supreme Court, and it has been both more and fewer than 9 in the past.
I don't know. I'm going to spend the weekend trying to make art, hopefully succeeding, hopefully sending out a bunch of mail, and... something. Although I'm deeply amused that "Get Mitch or Die Trying" is trending on Twitter right now. If we can do nothing else we can damn well let them all know they are very much hated and loathed.
Happy New Year, everyone. Here's to a better one ahead.
May her memory be a blessing and a revolution, both.
