& thanks for the suggestion that if I'm upset by a constant stream of this I don't care enough

[cidercupcakes]

I've basically had to severely limit my Twitter activities because all of the shit on the past few days in Congress and in Virginia (which, for those playing along at home, is where I live, grew up, and will be living for the foreseeable future) has been threatening to trigger me, so that's. A thing. Like, to the point where I've been thinking about removing a couple of pretty close friends because they will. not. stop. posting about it, and have said things that it's hard not to hear as implying that if I am bothered by the unceasing and frequently graphic descriptions of transvaginal ultrasounds (that my home is now mandating for any woman who wants to have an abortion, as well as essentially rendering the Pill, IUDs, and emergency contraception illegal) then clearly I don't ~care~, and honestly I cannot deal with a lot of details about state-mandated rape. I actually cannot. Go figure.

So that's something that's happening here in my state. Please, please donate to Planned Parenthood, and if you're in VA make your voice heard, for the love of God, and do that if you're anywhere else as well, for Congress in general, and most of all, please, please do not attempt to engage me further on this, because I am at the end of my rope.
