Unthinkable not so long ago but women are collectively worse off now than we were 3 years ago. But damage control is not progress, & we don't want to go back to 2023. Instead let's lift our horizons, imagine a relaxing future - and vote with that future in mind. Scorecard commentary:

Some people here don't seem to have understood the purpose of a political party. It's not the same as a protest movement. It is a vehicle designed to get into government, to change legislation and make a material difference to the lives of people at home and abroad.

Once again it seems it is time to remind people that there is a difference between the Crown’s capital allocation and its operating allowance. Kinda important, especially in election years.

I would have a lot more sympathy for NCEA if, as a parent, I had ever felt that I understood it. I do not. I find communication from teachers at my daughters’ high school unutterably impenetrable. I’m sure (only as an article of faith) that it has its merits. I could not tell you what they are.

Is there any music worse than hold music? Even “good” music sounds like it’s being blasted at you through a draw of socks. Is this deliberate, forcing a trail by endurance (conspiracy), or just really poor attention to customer experience (cock-up)? Either way those responsible should be punished.

Hey #Resisters! This is probably the most beautiful and hilarious protest story you’ll find. Is there violence? Yes. But this is protesting with “Tactical Frivolity”, which has become the key phrase for #ICE protests, inspired by #Portland This story happened in #Minneapolis Read and Share 1/

Text:

Fear and Loathing: Closer to th... is with The Smitten Kit... and 3 others. • Following 1d • S
The revolution did not arrive with speeches, pamphlets, or a carefully moderated Zoom call about optics. It arrived in a cardboard box full of clearance-bin dildos, under purple neon light.
We were standing inside Smitten Kitten like lunatics planning the world's dumbest coup. The place glowed like a queer cathedral built by horny anarchists. Purple light everywhere. Shelves of lubricated possibility. Staff who had absolutely seen some shit in their lives, but not this specific flavor of organized insanity. We explained, that we were bulk-buying dozens of dildos because we intended to psychologically dismantle a federal law enforcement agency at a hotel protest.

Text:

Nobody flinched. Nobody laughed nervously. Nobody asked, "Are you okay?"
They just nodded like hardened revolutionaries and said, "Okay, how many?"
Arianne started sorting through colors like a warlord assembling a Pride parade for ANTIFA. Neon pink. Mint green. Electric blue.
Flesh-toned beige that screamed
"HR violation." Short kings. Long gods. Curved menaces. Blunt-force disrespect dicks. Matt
Wagner examined girth ratios like he was calibrating a NASA payload. Chance Meeting filmed everything like an embedded journalist in the Dumbest War of All Time. I stood there realizing we had crossed a sacred threshold into a better version of America that cable news will never be emotionally equipped to understand.

Text:

Then Arianne turned to the camera, radiant and feral, and said the words that permanently altered the course of protest history:
"I'm going to hand out big dicks to little-dick ICE agents."
The Geneva Convention disintegrated. The Founding Fathers wept. Somewhere, a federal HR manager clutched their chest and whispered, "No.
Not like this."
We walked out of Smitten Kitten carrying a box of dildos like it was radioactive plutonium wrapped in hope. The neon sign behind us glowed like it had just joined the rebellion. Arianne cradled that box like a newborn baby destined to grow up and ruin someone's career. Chance kept filming. Matt looked like a proud dad. I felt like l had accidentally joined a cult that only worshipped humiliation.

Text:

Then we did something truly unhinged.
We went to dinner.
Because even revolutionaries have blood sugar needs.
Two doors down sits Beckett's, warm and civilized and filled with the scent of real food instead of revolution and silicone. We sat like normal human beings, ordered meals like responsible adults, and plopped our box of dildos on the table like it was a deeply obscene centerpiece. Hot food. Soft lighting. A cardboard box full of rubberized middle fingers. The contrast was so beautiful it should have been framed. Arianne was smiling—not a polite smile, not a tired smile, but the full-throttle, eyes-crinkling, I am about to ruin someone's whole week smile.

I’ve done some catalogue searching and am fairly confident in saying that 5/10 titles in this list do not exist (1, 2, 4, 5 and 7). Sloppy, unacceptable, and a real kick in the guts to real authors with real books they’d love people to buy and read!
