We the whole people

Fellow Kansans: We have got to get Brownback out of office in the 2014 election season. What with his attacks on the arts, education, and health care, the man is (literally) killing us. That is, if we're not already dead by then. If you are eligible to vote then, you had better fucking vote.


Lyrics Here

This time next week, I'll be counting down the hours to my Spring Break Vacation. I need this. There's a ton of stuff I want to get done, in addition to just basic relaxing and maybe getting my drink on before noon: make my coveralls for working on the Chevelle; maybe actually work on the Chevelle; start on the Sherlock costume; maybe finish watching Sherlock; sort out my spring/summer wardrobe; sew and/or hit up the thrifts for items that need replaced. I think I shouldn't add anything else to that list.

Two more days until I can have wine. And beef. And pork. And eggs.

Stuff about women's suffrage always makes me tear up a little bit. I have feelings about voting.

Ha! Me too!

That is a FANTASTIC video. I love how people remix things (like "Bad Romance") into works that are sometimes BETTER than the originals, like this.

Made me a little teary, even.

Spring Break: Time to work on stuff that ISN'T WORK. Yay and hooray! Chevelle, here we come.

I wouldn't say it's better. But it is good.

And wooo hoo! Here's hoping we have a transmission by then!

Have you seen iron jawed angels? It is about the struggles these women faced to get the votes (the title is in reference to forced feedings during a hunger strike).

I've heard about it, but I've never seen it. I have a hard time watching things that I know will make me cry. =/

I didn't vote for him last time, either. He's such an atrocious antediluvian.

Absolutely brilliant video!! Pinned it on Pinterest.

And of course here I am, reading LJ instead of working of the League of Women Voters newsletter as I ought to be doing....

I bet the newsletter doesn't have links to awesome videos.
