Took a stand on Facebook. Even before the election I took abuse from men who worship at the altar of Donald Trump and others like him. I know it's not all men but if male dominated social media platforms won't stand up for us by purging these jerks and women aren't given opportunities to front social media platforms, then we have to draw a line. My body, my autonomy is mine, not theirs. I just don't feel safe anymore.
@waywardflf Thank you for this. Very informative.
@ShaneArtBooks I've often said I'd like leave America. My partner says: "I didn't serve 20 years in the Air Force to turn tail and run". He believes we'll get thru this. It might not be easy, but he's confident.

#Zine team, these dates are flexible. Let's face it: it's been a rough month. We have a crossword, some Buddhism, and a few bits and bobs... but not enough for an issue yet!
CoSo, send us your dreams! Stories, poems, photos, art, comics, essays on mutual aid & survival, how-to columns around nature & crafting... Look at the themes for inspiration, and if in doubt, ask yourself if your idea focuses on hope, natural &/or communal.
Then send it to [email protected].
@TemporaryTraveler I'll go to my grave believing this election was stolen. Why the National Democratic Party is not eaging is beyond me. Harris should not have conceded. This whole thing makes me sick!
@publickovacs You've just convinced me to do mine! They look great.

This is what it's like to live in an ultra-religious, male-dominated society where no one is permitted to see your face or hear your voice.
@Bix This is why I believe the election was rigged. There's no fucking way trump won. I'll never believe it. But as usual the Democratic Party is standing around with their heads up their asses.

Trump wants to take us back to the 1890s, when America was "rich", according to him.
It turns out that the 1890s weren't all that great. Reckless imposition of tariffs was one of the reasons why.
If we ignore history's disasters, we are doomed to repeat them.
@YouInMyEye I wish he or she would!
@Sr0bi @YouInMyEye We don't put out political signs because we don't want our house burned down. But we certainly vote.
@Astartiel @hallmarc We need to get our allies to help us. This affects them, too.

Black people throughout the country, in more than 20 states, have been getting racist text messages that order them to report to a plantation for slave labor, according to reporting by CNN and numerous other outlets. The texts reference “slave catchers” and “picking cotton,” These hate-filled messages have been received by both kids and adults. The texts appear to be targeting Black and Brown individuals, including students.
@CJLavoie What a great idea. I have a few puzzles I never put together. Yours is very pretty.
@SentinelOfTruth I'm 67. I'll probably be dead before we right this ship. My great great grandson born in July, will still be fighting this crap. Honestly, we need our allies to come help us. This shit will affect the whole world.

Never to be outdone by the Brits, we just had to have Amerexit. 🤦♂️
