The thing about leopards is eventually they will eat you too.

Your favorite local restaurant closing because the nice family who owns it getting deported. You thought they were some of the “good ones.” The price of produce skyrocketing even before the camps are built as immigrants flee. Your daughter dying of sepsis because the lawyers feel it’s too risky to perform that D&C.

No more FAFSA for your kids college because you didn’t know that was part of the Department of Education. Veterans having their benefits cut because they rolled back the PACT Act as too expensive. That factory in town that was going to build chips and employ your kids never breaking ground because of the repeal of the CHIPs act. The bridge that was going to cut your commute in half being canceled because of the repeal of the Infrastructure Act.

That sweet government job that you’ve loved because you can work 8 hours a day and fish on the weekends has been slated for a MAGA Schedule F slot because it controls funding for contracts that will go to Republican donors, so you’re fired without cause or any union protections.

You’ll blame Biden or the local Democrats probably. But it will be fine because Elon promised it would be uncomfortable at first but it will get better. You were just so sure it would be uncomfortable for…you know…”those people.” Not you.

But that’s leopards for you. They eat whatever is available.

how dare you call America a sexist country when a competent qualified woman with no scandals is running tied with a convicted sex predator who attempted a coup on live TV

This article was from my PhD research — I loved thinking and writing about music in New Woman fiction and digging through Grand's archives in Bath. Thanks for resurrecting, @C19GSJournal! Nice to see it surface again. Feels like a lifetime ago.

Did you know that Sarah Grand coined the term “New Woman” in March of 1894? Check out Maura Dunst’s @MauraDunst Composition’: Reading Music in Sarah Grand’s The Heavenly Twins and George Egerton’s Keynotes and Discords” from our archives: https://t.co/tyUPHWAfRS
