(22,114 posts)I even have black sneakers!
Of course I have no plans for anything outside the house but I still like the idea
Also wearing black.
I have hated this holiday since my state and city allowed high powered fireworks for civilian use. The entire city sounds like a fucking war zone and people's pets are completely traumatized. And it's always the biggest yahoos making the biggest deal of it. I hate ostentatious patriotism. If you gave these people a civics test they'd fail it.
But this year I hate it even more because I am reduced to my uterus, which is owned by the state I live in. I do not have freedom. No woman does. We are vessels of the right wing without the ability to make our own decisions about our own lives and bodies.

There are times when I just can't "rise above." Taking away my bodily autonomy tends to have that effect.

This got a laugh from me, which was not easy due to my incandescent fury.
Thank you!
