Abortion & Rednecks: Alabama to Florida: "Hold my beer and watch this!"

"Hold my beer and watch this!"

In this post: As a lesbian, I don't need to worry about getting knocked up at the wrong time and place but I am still furious.

Last week: We are all experiencing some type of burn out as we emerge with universal pandemic PTSF whilst facing the possibility of WW#3 Here is some hope for our weary souls.

Next week: I talk about the reasons holding me back from releasing new content featuring a mini guest-post by Abs Wilson.

Hi folks,

Welp. I have used up all my “FFS” and F—ck Off” post titles when I should’ve been saving them for the clusterfuck that was last week. 

The Jist of this post: the leaked abortion opinion shows what we’ve been planning on for months, but is horrifying nonetheless f--cking horrifying. J D Vance is the new Generic White Man and my arch-nemesis, that cherub-faced f-ck.  And just in case you didn’t think abortion rights were directly related to education, look at the dumb shit Flouncy Florida and Angry Alabama is up to. 

For this week’s NSFS, I’ve decided on a series of images to convey my disgust and the dismal reality of our current “situation” in the U.S. and the Supreme Court’s “special military operation” to liberate women from their fundamental human rights. (Up next: the rights of women and LGBTQ+ minorities—if women’s rights are Mariupol in this #toosoon analogy, then LGBTQ+ minority rights are the Azlov Steel Plant. 

Abortion is a human right. Peridot. 

As a lesbian (one of the superior sexualitiesTM), I don’t need to worry about getting knocked up at the wrong time and in the wrong place (this country). 

Rights of LGBTQ and women in the US

But I’m still furious because this is bigger than me or even the health and safety of my gay-ass; this is about our entire fucking population of women, whom I happen to love. (ahem, white men), now’s a good time to look and see how lesbians are on the front lines of fighting for abortion care because we have a sense of putting the greater good before ourselves and because we’re smart enough to know that once they come for women, the GAYZ are next. 

I’m not here to preach the wonders of abortion and why it is a fundamental human and health care right, but if you disagree with pro-abortion stances, feel free to unsubscribe ya fragile white man. ✌️🖕

Just in case you thought abortion rights aren't about education: 

Sure, it could be a coincidence, but let’s be fucking honest, it’s not. The same week the abortion opinion leaks, this also happens:

  • Alabama passes a law forcing teachers and counselors to out transgender students to their parents

  • Alabama Outlaws Gender-Affirming Medicines for Trans Kids

  • Explainer: What do new Alabama laws say about transgender kids?

Amy Coney Barret GWW of the week

Generic White (Wo)Man of the Week: 

Gov. Ron De Santis, step aside…

Look at the dumb shit Flouncy Florida is Flaunting & Angry Alabama is One-Upping

But the rays of NSFS still burn on the angry white man. Here are some memorable quotes about education and women’s rights from Ron Desantis since this sack o’shit could be our next president.

NSFS Handmaids Tale meme

This article by the Miami Times is pure gold, labeling DeSantis as a "conservative number sticker come to life." Here are the highlights:

He called New York candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Puerto Rican woman, "whatever she is."

Not Safe for School has some must-read-to- your-pro-choice-grandma prayers for all of us questioning the will of God. It's safe to say that if I were still teaching, this would probably be the reason I'd finally get fired.

N.S.F.S. is back from the beyond with cautionary tales, blind fury at lawmakers, & a lot of the antibiotic cipro. This post is dedicated to the school shootings that I have zero faith will stop in this country, and to the toxic masculinity that defines American culture and America’s relationship with violence.
