I like the badlands parts of North Dakota.
I didn't realize NORTH Dakota had badlands. Assuming they're in the SW side?

I thought the other one was in Bucktown, not LP. Regardless, she is gross.
Yeah I don't know, I p much tuned out everything else she had to say.

We can only dream, but like I said a fair amount of people have been defending her for "being honest" so I'm afraid it won't amount to anything.

her apology is really telling too
At the time I made my comments, I truly failed to take into consideration any historical, social, economic or political implications of my words. As an Australian immigrant that settled in Humboldt Park in 2006, I now realize that I spent all my time focusing solely on growing my business and my family, and, like many in society, I never took any time to develop a real understanding of the very community and the history of the people that I have had the fortune of living among for the past 6 years. In other words, I in fact lived "in a vacuum."
― Laura Lucy Lynn (La Lechera), Friday, 24 February 2012 19:58 (twelve years ago) link
even when she was saying that she was a clueless privileged bougie, she couldn't resist adding "like many in society"

Recreationally shooting each other and taste-testing crack?!

omg you guys so I got an "action alert" from Planned Parenthood about sending an email to your elected rep about this completely bananas birth control thing, right? So I sent this ANGRY email all about how I'm tired of fighting for basic control over my own body and health and I'm tired of the Dems selling out women and using us as political bargaining chips and I'm suuuper tired of assholes in Illinois introducing bills that are hostile to women into the agricultural committee and I will NEVER EVER vote for another Dem who compromises on women's bodily autonomy, etc. Then I hit send and realized that we were recently redistricted into very pro-choice @nn3 W1ll1@ms's congressional district! And I felt so bad! So I sent her a second email apologizing for my angry email and explaining that I had forgotten she was my rep now and that I loved being in her district and that I would vote for her forever and thanking her for being pro-choice and supporting women.
And she called me!!!! In person! To thank me for the email and let me know that she thinks it's all bullshit, too (she didn't say bullshit, but came close) and that she's not supposed to take things personally in politics but it's hard not to when her colleagues are arguing that women are too stupid to make their own reproductive health choices and I am officially in love. <3<3<3

Between this and the really fantastic panel with J@n S. and M1k3 Q. that I attended on Friday, I am 3/4 satisfied with my state and federal representatives.
― carl agatha, Monday, 27 February 2012 19:50 (twelve years ago) link
I should clarify, it was a rally in support of birth control on Friday (;_; that such a thing even needs to exist) and Jan and Mike spoke and they were both fantastic. I was always a Jan Fan, but MQ really, fundamentally gets it in a way that is rare among politicians IME.

God I know.
The one thing that was strangely heartening is that with all this trans-vaginal ultrasound nonsense, I got to see congresspeople saying the word "vagina" during a panel discussion that was being recorded by the press. That feels like a sort of progress amongst all the nonsense.

did u eat the pizza jordan?
i had a fun little trip. the college kids in minnesota were just ADORABLE. there was a lindy hop going on in the same student center where we played and everyone was dressed up in their fake flapper clothes and swing-dancing (and also some half-hearted line dancing).
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 27 February 2012 21:17 (twelve years ago) link
we ate the pizza for dinner last night with a pesto yogurt dipping sauce, and it was delicious.
how was lazy janes?
― 40oz of tears (Jordan), Monday, 27 February 2012 21:20 (twelve years ago) link
lazy jane's was great, best food of the trip (though there wasn't much competition - we ate at "the best pizza place in northfield MN" and it was pretty awful, in addition to a perkins). it was disconcerting whenever the cook would bellow out names of people to pick up their orders but everything else about it was delightful.
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 27 February 2012 21:21 (twelve years ago) link
yeah that's kind of their thing. it's an east side treasure though. i love that they opened that bakery annex next door so that you don't have to wait in line to get scones.
