Murkowski voted “present” instead of “no” so that one Republican Senator could go to his daughter’s wedding and miss the vote. Isn’t it nice how nice they are to each other. Manchin voted yes, along with the remaining 49 Republicans.
I have no silver lining to offer at this time except this: if Kavanaugh had been confirmed a month ago, as seemed inevitable at the time, he would have been able to pretend that he was a “fair and impartial judge.” He can no longer do that, no matter how many op-eds he publishes in the Wall Street Journal. All this Federalist Society Heritage Foundation bullshit has been revealed through Kavanaugh for what it is: partisan hackery dressed up as intellectual courage. The truth is always useful, though at the moment it’s hard to see the practical application.
Right now the thing to do is redouble our efforts in the midterms. Republicans are already gloating that this will improve their chances. The Washington Post’s hot take is that this will improve Democrats’ chances in the House but hurt them in the Senate. I say fuck you and your hot takes. We will make this hurt Republicans EVERYWHERE.
Give time or give money, whichever you have more of. Don’t accept any media narratives you hear about the midterms, whether they’re reassuring or discouraging. Assume we will need to fight to the last woman right down to the last day. We do and we will.

honestly fuck viruses they’re not even alive they’re just strands of punk ass DNA that go around fucking up us normal and god fearing life forms you don’t even have a nucleus you stupid bacteriophage looking horizontally transmitting RNA clump
ur gonna die anyway so get that fucking tattoo ur parents and friends hate and eat whatever u want
“You’re gonna die anyway, so just set your house on fire and drink snake venom.” This is like the worst life philosophy and you can use it to justify anything.
ok like not to rain on ur parade but getting a tattoo and eating some fries are very different than setting ur house on fire and drinking venom like I see where ur coming from but we were only going like 25 mph u didn’t need to accelerate it to 120 in a second lmao
“Life ends too quickly so don’t waste it denying yourself the stuff you like just because you’re worried about what other people will think about how you look”
“You want me to just fucking kill myself, op? Is that it?”
Just got to do some woodworking for the first time in a long while, and I am once again reminded of why I enjoy my favorite type of word to work with: Purpleheart.
Why’s it called purpleheart?
Muthafuckin’ purple wood. How cool is that? It’s brown when you cut it, but due to oxidization, eventually turns to a beautiful purple color. (if you don’t seal it at this stage, it’ll eventually turn red, I believe, which is still pretty, but you buy purpleheart for purple, damnit!)
And everything you make with it turns out amazing.
Purple floors?
Nice.
Purple stairs?
Fancy.
Purple table?
Sweet.
Purple guitar?
Awesome.
Purple whatever the hell is going on here?
Epic.
It’s just such a cool wood to work with, and it’s sturdy enough to be used for just about anything. If I ever get a house, half of it might just end up being made out of purpleheart.
Anyway, that’s enough nerdery for one post. I will now return to reblogging stupid pictures and recipes.
For some reason this ancient, ancient post keeps getting notes randomly. It is now less than 40 notes away from 30,000.
Funny how we regularly turn down job applications for law student internships for having a typo in their cover letters but having three different women publicly accuse you of sexual assault doesn’t stop you from being hired for the highest possible legal job in the country
