Cool, so we’re totally going to fix the things that made affirmative action a plausible reaction to slavery and Jim Crow, right?

Much like Roe v. Wade, I’m interested in what this “better law” argument is…no, actually, I’m not.

@UPS you lost my package and won’t let me file a claim. Won’t buy from vendors that use you in the future.

[Carrie Sheppard @C_Sheppard007]

Apparently I live with someone who needs to hear: it’s ok for us layman to call pterodactyls dinosaurs. Now I hope he feels better.

[Carrie Sheppard @C_Sheppard007]

@Bkwriter4life This may be what I’m most envious of? Maybe. I’m a jealous person. I’ve got a list.

@ChipotleTweets has the Worst customer service. It’s a bot circle of uselessness

[Carrie Sheppard @C_Sheppard007]

@ChipotleTweets I’m stupid, sent the gift cert to an email that was one letter off, but why does your customer service leave me without any recourse? Can’t even get a real person to say I messed up:there’s nothing to be done. Definitely won’t waste my money on you in future.

@SageDanielle I hope the next turn in the road offers even better vistas!
I’ve always been a happy audience when listening to your descriptions

[Carrie Sheppard @C_Sheppard007]

You did a lot of good, Deborah James. Your children have that gift, as do we all.

And by that I mean, there wasn’t one moment or one decision that brought us to this page in this choose-your-own-adventure. A lot of pages were flipped, and the moral is

[Carrie Sheppard @C_Sheppard007]

If Roe, if Casey…if Obergefell, Lawrence, Griswold, et al depended on one person, one woman, one fancy-collar-wearing lawyer-genius staying alive, then clearly the moral of that fairytale is obvious.

History 102:
-I feel like google might see a lot of suffragette vs. suffragist searches in the coming times.

-Also, what does it look like when non fanatics vote single issue.

Not an advocate, just fucking seriously invested in the answers.

[Carrie Sheppard @C_Sheppard007]

The job of SCOTUS isn’t to represent us. It’s job is to represent our laws (which it still fucking failed at). So for those of you who do represent us, and do make the laws, stop fucking singing and do your fucking job.
Amen.

If you’re against abortion, don’t get one.
If you’re against contraception, don’t take any.
If you’re against same-sex relationships, don’t have one.
If you’re against same-sex marriage, don’t marry someone of same gender.

Do not impose your beliefs & religion on all Americans.

I was 11 weeks pregnant. Or my body thought so. But the fetus was done doing it’s thing at 6 weeks. My D&C, which is an abortion, kept me safe and healthy. That’s my story. But any story should be any woman’s right. That’s healthcare, that’s equality, THAT is pro-life.

[Carrie Sheppard @C_Sheppard007]

Because today’s decision effects my generation some, but it affects my daughter’s generation completely. I know my mom’s story, I’m going to learn my daughter’s. And my story shouldn’t be the exception.
Go team?!

[Carrie Sheppard @C_Sheppard007]

When the UK government wasn’t up to the task of feeding hungry kids, football (soccer) player, Marcus Rashford, stepped in/up. When the US gov (again) proved it wasn’t up to protecting its children’s equality, Dick’s Sporting Goods stepped in/up. I’m not into sports, but fuck…

[Carrie Sheppard @C_Sheppard007]

Edit: I am sad and scared for our children.

[Carrie Sheppard @C_Sheppard007]

I am sad and scared for our daughters.

[Carrie Sheppard @C_Sheppard007]

I’ve been reading stuff on pronouns and gender neutral addresses, and my unsolicited hot-take: we’ve all got to decide for ourselves what hill we die on, and, thank you on behalf of my child.

[Carrie Sheppard @C_Sheppard007]

Columbine happened a year after I graduated high school. My daughter will be going to school for the first time come fall. In the last 20+ years, how have you parents been brave enough to send them off? I don’t know how to fucking do this.
