I’ve decided on the double name. Abby Jane. No worries if you call me Abby. I’ll answer. But this feels like coming home to the kind of name the women before me had.

I'm going to find some way to blame this on Thomas Midgley, Jr.

Eh, I wrote something. Maybe you like it, maybe you don't. But if a few people read it, then that's good.

Yes. Because mother is stubborn but my sister's are more pig-headed than she is. Just pounded that fact in her brain, and it stuck.

A colonel from an elite army unit in Madagascar says the military has taken control of the country, after politicians in the national assembly voted to impeach President Andry Rajoelina who fled into hiding after weeks of protests.

I'll give it a shot. Marxism is about expanding freedom once material needs are met, not limiting self-expression. This is what becomes possible when capitalist scarcity and medical commodification end.

So, under communism, there would be surgeries; the vaginas would be free, not 'designer'.

Are women bourgeois?

Transsexualism as we conceive of it in America is bourgeois, the product of a society that venerates the freedom of an individual to choose. There is no designer vagina under communism, I'm sorry.

And seriously. Fuck that guy. He caused a hole in the ozone layer. And millions, hundreds of millions of people were exposed to lead.

I hope he's burning in hell too.

What a perfect paragraph.

Thomas Midgley Jr. (1889–1944) was an American engineer and chemist who contracted polio at age 51, leaving him severely disabled. He devised an elaborate system of ropes and pulleys to help others lift him from bed. He became entangled in the ropes and died of strangulation at the age of 55. However, he is better known for two of his other inventions: the tetraethyl lead (TEL) additive to gasoline, and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).

After getting zero firm commitments to this point from the first nine invitees, the Trump administration is extending its proposed compact to all colleges. Expect some red-state publics to say yes.
