RBG – The Mere-Dish

Roe v. Wade is No More

Fuck. Not the best way to start off a blog post from an SEO standpoint but, fuck is all I have. Anticipatory grief is the anticipation that happens before losing someone or something. The grief that occurs during the wait. Abortion rights in this country have been on life support for the past decade, inContinue reading “Roe v. Wade is No More”

The Time is Now, The Day is Here

Yes, that’s a Les Mis quote in my title. If any day was created for some dramatics it’s today. It’s sort of surreal that today is here.
