New in PN: Retire in peace "McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"

Retire in peace
McConnell is the latest example of an incapacitated politician refusing to let go.

But also feminism is not a thing that happened and then got reversed; it's a thing that is happening, because you don't overturn three millennia of patriarchy in one lifetime.

One thing that's been bugging me today: people who claim Dolly Parton wasn't political. False. She was very political. Her art and life's work were about interrogating power + amplifying the powerless. You only think she wasn't political because she did this by example, not bullshit slogans.

What the Repubs don't get is the cup of coffee, or any other "splurge" is their base's Soma. Taking away their Soma forces them to see what they're losing. It is a losing strategy.

A drawing of a fish (in words of my husband, a pretty regular looking fish), drawn in black ink. There are several layers of watercolors in purples, greens and blues that go outside the lines, and in the background there's a yellow circle.
