"I'm considering putting this down and moving onto something else for a bit. It's a shame, because this series has done some really great work in presenting the uglier parts of America's past and present through the lens of fantasy, but the story's momentum has slowed to a crawl right when the tension should be at its highest. Maybe I'm just not in the right headspace for this right now." — Sep 01, 2021 02:49AM

As for pies, the only way to be safe is not to eat them. Really. Just don’t. Consider, if you will, how the term Bow-Wow Mutton came into being.
“Women deserve better than propaganda and lies to get into panties. Propaganda and lies to get into office, to get out of court, to get out of paying child support. Get the fuck out of our decisions and give us back our voice. Women deserve better; women deserve choice.”

“I cannot understand anti-abortion arguments that centre on the sanctity of life. As a species we've fairly comprehensively demonstrated that we don't believe in the sanctity of life. The shrugging acceptance of war, famine, epidemic, pain and life-long poverty shows us that, whatever we tell ourselves, we've made only the most feeble of efforts to really treat human life as sacred.”

“You’re not really mad that I’m not having children.
In fact, I would probably love to one day.
You’re mad that I’m expressing autonomy of choice.
You’re mad that I’m considering other options.
You’re mad that I don’t view that as my ultimate potential.
You’re mad that I dare be selfish enough to make choices based on my best interest, something women are not supposed to do.
You’re mad that I consider it a choice, and that I, a woman, am exercising choice.
You’re not mad that I’m not having babies.
You’re mad because I’m acting like a man.”
