What a satisfying feeling. I just donated $25 to Planned Parenthood in George W. Bush’s name. Seriously. Someone came up with this great idea to show the President exactly what we think of his policies. Here’s the message I sent along (that he’ll receive): “I’m lucky to live in a country where my reproductive rights are secure–the UK. Please reconsider your position on such rights in the US. Otherwise I cannot, in good conscience, return home to a country that doesn’t allow me sovereignty over my own body.” It’s a bit clumsy, but you’re only allowed 255 characters so I had to significantly chop my first rant draft.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
