Roe VS Wade

If you needed proof of how far the US has collapsed into the abyss of inanity and religious insanity, look no further. This is madness. Below a few of my thoughts.
#1) I am in no way in support of abortion.
#2) Despite this, I fully acknowledge a woman's sovereignty over her own body and right to choose. Whatever my opinions are, they are irrelevant.
#3) If anyone - government, church, etc - was serious about "ending" abortion then they would invest in readily available, affordable birth control, education (sex and otherwise) and ensuring that people had access to a reasonable standard of living (including the resources/material means to raise a child). These three things alone would drop abortion rates by 90% or more.
#4) In those instances of rape, incest, life-threatening complications - abortions should be given without question or charge. Really. These are extenuating circumstances, I'm sure - but they have immense moral validity.
In short, abortion is a failure of society, not the individual. So let's fix/shore up our society and stop worrying about "punishing" those people who have "failed" in a system designed to make them fail.
Now, this is ridiculous, because I have wasted now 100+ words saying what every reasonable person knows. And the Roe VS Wade challenge isn't about this at all. It's about increasing social control over every aspect of the individuals lives - to the point of intrusion; it's about governance unto tyranny, about idiocy coming into it's own, and - hahaha - as everyone looks south and breathes a sigh of relief it isn't here, don't breathe easy yet. Kenney won by a majority, the Conservatives across Canada are waiting their next chance at power, and Trudeau's big claim to fame is not looking as bad as his predecessors. So - when the winds of change blow again, Atwood may be proven right.

Ha! Genius idea #3, 417, 214.
A 12 inch ruler available in Small or Medium - specifically targeting those less endowed men who need a dick-pick in a hurry and a plausible point of reference!
Why, it's Penis-Enlargement done in a matter of seconds, not months or years! Non-invasive, no surgery, heavy lifting or pills, just select the ruler that's right for you!
Usually I'd pitch this to Pornhub, but - believe it or not, they still haven't gotten back to me. Bastards!!
Roman Bust found in Texas Thrift Shop

All day - yesterday, today, opening, pricing endless amounts of crockery, china, plates, boring-assed fucking kitsch. Not a single thing worth looking at...
And the sheer number number of people that can't be bothered to even wash their dishes before donating! Or think a tea kettle without a lid is still worth something, or a single dirty sock, or a ...
You get the idea.
Unless you count that painting I saw of a Unicorn nursing kittens (and a raccoon!!), which was pretty special...
Obviously not an original, but special nonetheless. And the butterflies frolicking...
Otherwise I feel I need to rinse my eyes every hour or so, the quality - even when not bad, is so devalued by the sheer unending quantity of it that I want to start smashing every thing I unbox.
Anyways, glad to read of people having better luck in thrift shops - A 1st Century Roman Bust for $35.00 US.

A hot day, deliveries

A hot day, largely bunged up. Blowing my nose is now filled with copious neon yellow (???) mucus. I wear the mask.
Deliveries, today, we drive to Trail, picking up furniture, dropping off electronics recycle.
A lot of driving, made up for by the impossibility of narrow halls, small elevators, large, heavy furniture. It's a lot of old-folks going into extended-care, getting their last remaining possessions donated by family.
Hot, hot day. This will be a long summer.
When finally, 2:30, we're back at the store, we unload, then fill the truck with trash, cardboard, glass for recycling/dump.
Finally - 6:00, home. A long fucking day and I'm dead, dead, dead. By 8:30 I'm in bed, wake up throughout the night, eyes, nose glued together, mouth dry, blow your nose, wipe your eyes, fever & chills, fever dreams, all night long. Today, in the shop all day, don't know if I can survive it - but I'll try, hoping that in 2-3 weeks we can clear the backlog and once again I can be free.
