I used to think that adulthood was one crisis after another. I was wrong.

as it turns out, adulthood is multiple crises, concurrently, all the time, forever

Ruth Bader Ginsburg is writing a memoir! 

According to publisher Simon & Schuster, My Own Words is slated to come out in January 2017. 

My Own Words will be “a selection of writings and speeches by Justice Ginsburg on wide-ranging topics, including gender equality, the workways of the Supreme Court, on being Jewish, on law and lawyers in opera, and on the value of looking beyond U.S. shores when interpreting the U.S. Constitution.” 

Everything from reproductive rights to opera appreciation, that’s RBG!

To ensure the highest court hears your abortion story: file it as an amicus brief | Lucia Graves

As the US supreme court prepares to hear a major abortion case, abortion rights advocates – and powerful women who’ve benefitted from the right to exercise reproductive choice – want to make sure everyone’s story gets told

I am incredibly proud of these women.

When I was 18, I got into my first real fight. A guy called me a “dirty prairie n*gger”. I swung and clocked him out. His friends jumped me. I beat them too. When I went to university, My dorm laid out rules. Then, they asked for suggestions, Rules that the residents wanted. One boy spoke, “I think the stagecoach law should apply here, Its an old law saying that if you are on a stagecoach, You can shoot those dirty Indians.” I walked through the crowd. I got in his face. Asked him why he would say that. I never got an answer. I never saw him again that year. When I turned fourteen years old i realized how much my people were hated. I visited Denver with my school, On a Honor Roll trip. Kids with 3.3 GPAs and higher. My friend and I went into a store, Smiling and laughing, Joking together. The man behind the counter took a look at us. He pointed at us, Then the door. “We dont need your kind here. Go home. Go back to where you came from.” I have heard that sentiment Echoed through the years. One of my tribes biggest sources of revenue, Is Game and Fish. People come from across the globe, To shoot our deer, And catch our fish. They show up, And immediately insult us. They say, “If you go down there, Better hang your dream catchers, And take them whiskey, The only good indians are drunk or dead.” Do not tell me, These slights are imagined. That they are trivial. That you are sure they are good people. Thats not what I’ve seen. Thats not what I know. People complain about our Pow Wows, Our celebrations of being Native. They ask why. The faces of four white men are carved in the side of sacred mountains. We deal with that every day. They can deal with a few weekends of Pow Wows. I am not sorry that I am angry. I am not sorry if this makes you uncomfortable. I am sorry you cannot see why I am angry. I am sorry my people are weary of well wishers. My land is gone. My people are battered and nearly broken. But we are getting stronger. More of us are speaking out. My voice is but one of many. I can only hope that we are heard.

So are the NRA and all the gun rights people out there gonna say anything about Tamir Rice? Considering Ohio is an open carry state? So even if Tamir’s gun was not a toy it was legal for him to have it out? Or are they down with the Second Amendment continuing to only apply to white people? Do they not recognize their role in white supremacy? Or has white supremacy always been the goal?

the other day at work, i asked a woman her name– like i do for everyone, because we have to write it on the cup–and she goes “we come in here all the time. you should really know our names by now” as if i don’t serve hundreds of people a day or as though a nondescript middle aged white woman made such an impact upon me that i’d remember her. i was feeling pretty impatient and irritable though, so i covered my name tag with my hand and asked her my name and she didn’t know it and at least had the decency to change demeanor from haughty and superior to sort of quietly embarrassed and i’m fairly sure that’s the only thing i’ve ever done at work that matters to me.
